The preliminary design of the solar thermal systems at all three demonstration sites has been successfully completed by TVP Solar, marking an important step forward for the project. At this stage, the main technical decisions have been made, including the precise layout and positioning of the solar fields, as well as the definition of their […]
SOLINDARITY is advancing with its efforts to integrate innovative technologies to decarbonise industrial processes. The development of the high-temperature heat pump (HTHP), that will help upgrade the solar heat to industrial process levels, is being carried out collaboratively by the German Aero Space Center (DLR), BOGE KOMPRESSOREN Otto Boge GmbH & Co. KG (BOGE) and ASCORI. The execution of the core components of the HTHP has entered its […]
In recent months, the SOLINDARITY partners have actively disseminated the project, including its objectives, activities, and preliminary results, through participation in several international conferences. The latest dissemination efforts include DLR’s participation in the 10th BAPT Conference, held in Athens from 9 to 11 July 2025, organised by the National Technical University of Athens at the […]
On May 27 and 28, the University of Genoa (UNIGE) hosted the Steering Committee meeting of the SOLINDARITY project. The event brought together representatives from the 18 partner organisations that are part of the SOLINDARITY consortium. Each partner shared detailed updates on key milestones and progress within their respective Work Packages over the past few […]
On May 27, 2025, the University of Genova (UNIGE) hosted a forward-looking workshop in Hybrid format titled “Innovative Technologies for Decarbonizing Industrial Thermal Needs”, held within the elegant setting of Villa Cambiaso. The workshop, organised in the context of the SOLINDARITY Project Steering Committee meeting, brought together experts from academia and industry to share novel […]
As part of the SOLINDARITY Horizon Europe project, Komotini Paper Mill is preparing to install and operate a 400 kW solar thermal system based on TVP Solar’s High Vacuum Flat Panel (HVFP) technology. This important milestone marks a significant step forward in the decarbonisation of industrial heat production. On March 21, 2025, representatives from Komotini […]
SOLINDARITY partners gathered in Germany during May 27-28, 2024 for the fifth Steering Committee meeting and our second in-person meeting since the project started. Although the project started this year, we are progressing in our plans and ambitions with the ultimate goal of accelerating industry decarbonisation. The Steering Committee (SC) meeting included updates on work […]
On March 19th, the final conference of the Horizon 2020 CORALIS project took place in Brussels, with Solar Heat Europe (SHE) participating to promote the SOLINDARITY project and encourage collaboration with CORALIS’s partners. CORALIS aims to facilitate Industrial Symbiosis (SI) and demonstrate substantial energy and resource savings in energy-intensive industries, leading to reduced waste, lower […]
CERTH will be responsible for modelling activities of the system operation as a whole by performing dynamical simulations. The SOLINDARITY solution layout is shown below: The figure shows the studied system, which integrates solar thermal (ST) collectors coupled with a thermal energy storage (TES) tank that uses water as a storage medium. The water stored […]
TVP Solar has carried out an initial series of energy simulations for the three demo sites of the SOLINDARITY project, located in Germany, Italy, and Greece. The tests, conducted with a 500m² solar thermal system, showcased the ability of TVP Solar’s cutting-edge High Vacuum Flat Panels (HVFPs) to efficiently generate heat at low and medium […]
A complete mapping analysis of the project demo sites, managed by UNIGE, has been successfully finalized. The SOLINDARITY project recognizes the importance of gathering more accurate information from the three demo sites, specifically targeting three use cases in the food and beverage sector (Lorenz– LOR, Germany), the pulp and paper sector (Komotini Paper Mill S.A. […]
The SOLINDARITY project officially started in January 2024 with a collaborative meeting among partners in Athens, Greece. This initial gathering laid the groundwork for the project’s objectives over the next four years. The kick-off meeting provided the space for collaboration and valuable insights, enabling partners to clarify roles and initiate their work. With an ambitious […]
