Most of the industrial process requires a temperature level below 250?C which is easily achievable using solar energy. Pakistan fortunate enough to have long sunlight hours and high intensity insolation. The mean total irradiation falling on horizontal plane about 200-250 W/m2 per day. This precious source natural energy has tremendous potential in agro-based industry like distillation medicina...
