Abstract
This chapter is a review of the various wineries worldwide that have installed an active solar collection system that can effectively utilise the collected energy to offset a significant proportion of the winery’s energy requirement. The review catalogues the size, range and description of the many various systems installed globally and provides a detailed collection of case studies to give the reader an indicative representation of the type of solar installations currently being used in winemaking facilities throughout the wine producing regions of the world.
