Though renewable energy sources are widely used around the world, the cost of “green” energy in most cases is still uncompetitive with the “traditional” one. This is most pronounced in countries and regions with a developed resource base, including Russia. However, renewable energy sources in some cases can be successfully implemented in district heating systems using natural gas. This paper reports on the effective use of simple design solar collectors in a gasified central heat supply system in the city of Gelendzhik, Krasnodar Krai, with the cost of heat generated does not exceed 0.01 USD/kWh. The conditions for reproduction of this project are defined following the results of its operation.
