The article considers the solar energy resources of the Kara-Bogaz-Gol Bay as a “solar pond”. Using the developed physical and mathematical methods, the thermal energy potentials оf the accumulation of salt deposits in the bay were determined for the creation and use of energy technologies in industrial sectors. Thermal energy characteristics for the introduction of various solar energy storage technologies were assessed; according to preliminary calculations, the effi ciency of a solar reservoi
