“…Many economic indicators are used to evaluate the economic performance of energy systems. Among these indicators, one of the most widely used to compare solar systems with other energy alternatives is the LCOE and its variations when is applied to electrical and thermal energy (LCOE el and LCOH, respectively) [17,[158][159][160][161]. This metric shows the cost per produced or saved energy by the system in the lifetime of the project [158].…”

“…Economic parameters are strongly influenced by factors such as government policies and incentives, type of industry, and project restrictions. All these factors can greatly influence the values of the economic metric evaluated in a certain study [159,161,163]. In hybrid configurations, all economic parameters could vary for each technology.…”

Process heating is the activity with the most energy consumption in the industrial sector. Solar heating (SH) systems are a promising alternative to provide renewable thermal energy to industrial processes. However, factors such as high investment costs and area limitations in industrial facilities hinder their utilization; therefore, hybrid systems that combine two different solar thermal or photovoltaic technologies where each technology operates under conditions that allow a higher overall performance than conventional configurations have been proposed. In this review, we discuss the limitations of conventional SH systems and the potential of hybrid configurations to overcome them. First, the current literature about conventional and hybrid systems is presented. Then, the application of common performance indicators to evaluate hybrid configurations is analyzed. Finally, the limitation, advantages, and potential applications of conventional and hybrid systems are discussed. This work shows that conventional systems are the most promising alternatives in low and high-temperature industrial applications. At the same time, in medium and processes, hybrid configurations have great potential to increase the performance of SH systems and help to boost their adoption in the industrial sector. There are few studies about hybrid systems in industrial applications, and further research is required to determine their potential.

“…As previous studies have considered different assumptions for the definition of the terms of the LCoH equation, it does not make sense to compare the values they obtained with the LCoH sol,fin , LCoH conv,fin and LCoH ov,fin values defined here. A detailed explanation of the differences between the approaches chosen in the framework of IEA-SHC Task 54 and in the Solar Heat Worldwide report[9] can be found in Info Sheet A13[10].…”
