designing solar total energy systems for the sites. Solar systems, using single-axis tracking parabolic-trough solar collectors, were designed for each of the sites to the depth necessary to verify feasibility and identify major system components. Cost and performance estimates for each of the systems were estimated and used to predict internal rate of return over a range of collector cost and performance. Parametric system and component performance data are presented along with solar insolation data for all the Sol-Met data stations which allows the rapid assessment of solar system feasibility for future potential industrial users.
