Abstract

68% of industrial energy needs in the U.S. are in the form of process heat. Solar industrial process heat (SIPH) is an economical business proposition with the appropriate financing plan. A limited partnership form of operation is a great advantage to the corporate user of the SIPH because the corporate user does not have to put up capital for construction. It merely pays the partnership a fee for the amount of solar energy delivered. In addition, there are substantial tax advantages for both the corporation and the investing limited partners, which will be examined in detail. Assuming that the delivered natural gas price would average $4.35/Mcf for 1983 and that gas prices would increase at the nominal rate of 10%/yr, a limited partner can obtain a rate of return of over 31% by investing in an SIPH installation.
