Exportadora de Sal S.A. (abbreviated as ESSA) is a company dedicated to salt production through solar evaporation of sea water in the Ojo de Liebre Lagoon, Baja California Sur, Mexico. Founded in 1954 by American shipping businessman Daniel K. Ludwig , it is currently partially owned by the Mexican government and Mitsubishi.
The process can be categorized based on the type of solar energy source utilized. In direct solar desalination, saline water absorbs solar energy and evaporates, leaving behind salt and other impurities. An example of this is solar stills, where an enclosed environment allows for the collection and condensation of pure water vapor.
Through 2010, Ohio was ranked #2 in solar manufacturing in the United States behind Oregon, employing 1088 among manufacturers and installers. [60] [61] Between 2007 and 2010, the state received nearly $750 million in solar investments. [62] The Toledo metro area is recognized nationally as a "seat of solar energy", [63] nicknamed
Solar energy is an application of thermal energy storage. Most practical solar thermal storage systems provide storage from a few hours to a day's worth of energy. However, a growing number of facilities use seasonal thermal energy storage (STES), enabling solar energy to be stored in summer to heat space during winter.
Solar evaporation is the oldest and most energy-efficient method of mineral production. At the Great Salt Lake near Ogden, Utah, Compass Minerals draws naturally occurring brine out of the lake into shallow ponds and allows solar evaporation to produce salt, sulfate of potash (SOP) and magnesium chloride.

A solar still distills water with substances dissolved in it by using the heat of the Sun to evaporate water so that it may be cooled and collected, thereby purifying it. They are used in areas where drinking water is unavailable, so that clean water is obtained from dirty water or from plants by exposing them to sunlight.
Solar salt may refer to: Sea salt, a salt produced by the evaporation of seawater; Solar salt, a eutectic molten salt mixture which is used for thermal energy storage
