Industrial Process Heat (SIPH) Demonstration Program (DOE Contract DE-FC03-79CS30309) in which the team designed, constructed, and operated a 50,400 ft 2 SIPH system located at CTCo's San Leandro, California plant. DOE funded 75% of the design and construction costs with the remainder being provided by CTCo. DOE provided most of the funding for the evaluation of the system while CTCo made the in-kind contribution of operating and maintaining the solar system after completion of construction. Show Less
