Currently, solar energy accounts for over 3% of the total energy consumption in Israel, mainly by DHWS use. It makes Israel the world's largest solar energy user per capita. The share of solar power in the energy market is expected to rise to 4.5% by the year 2000.
The State of Israel has been a pioneer in solar energy development and utilization since it was founded. In the 50's, Solar Domestic Hot Water Heaters (DHWS) became commercially available. At the same time research work was started in different areas of solar energy, which led to more advanced solar systems for additional applications.
While Israel does not yet have a commercial solar power plant, the Jerusalem-based Luz Company has manufactured concentrating trough collectors for the construction of thermal power plants in the USA.
The efficiency of low temperatures solar thermal systems such as flat plate collector (FPC), evacuated tubular collector (ETC), solar pond (SP), and solar chimney (SC) are in the order of 15–40% and the medium temperature solar systems such as linear Fresnel reflector (LFR) and parabolic trough collector (PTC) are in the order of 50–60%.
The Megalim solar thermal power plant, a joint venture of BrightSource, GE Renewable Energy and the Noy Fund, said on 10 April, that it has begun commercial operation in Israel. The Ashalim Solar Thermal Power Station, located in Israel’s Negev desert, is one of the largest projects of its type in the world.
The Ashalim Solar Thermal Power Station, located in Israel’s Negev desert, is one of the largest projects of its type in the world. It is also the first solar thermal or concentrated solar power (CSP) plant to be undertaken in Israel by the partner companies- BrightSource, GE Renewable Energy and the Noy Fund.
