Presentation Summary

  • The silicon PV industry has recently focused on increased production capacity and reduced materials cost, but there's an opportunity to exploit systems design to enable substantial additional energy cost savings and global scalability with a Medium CPV approach.
  • The Medium CPV design approach using silicon PV can be cost effectively upgraded increasing project returns up to 50%
  • Medium CPV builds on a combination of high capacity factor and optical concentration to reduce LCOE, capital investment and technology risk
