Concentrator PV: Harvesting More, Spending Less
CPV technology has clearly moved out of the lab and prototyping phase -- becoming a reality with multi-megawatt installations underway.
by Nancy Hartsoch, CPV Consortium
New Hampshire, United States [Photovoltaics World magazine]
Today we are faced with dramatically increasing electricity demand globally presenting a critical need for clean, renewable energy. While the sun is the world's most abundant renewable resource, today it is barely tapped as an energy source. The challenge has been in cost effective conversion of that sunlight to electricity. Historically, harvesting photons has been hindered by high costs compared with traditional energy.
We estimate that CPV is ideally suited to about one-third of the world's land regions, which represent ~40% of the world's population. In these regions, CPV technology will provide the highest level of energy production and the lowest cost of electricity.
Photovoltaics technology (PV) has played a critical role in the evolution of renewable energy. The important thing to recognize, however, is that for the PV industry to reach its growth potential and become a major source of the world’s energy supply, then technology cannot stand still. Technologies like silicon PV and thin films must continue to evolve, working to squeeze more energy out of PV cells, and driving to lower cost. But that alone won’t take us far enough. There is a need for disruptive technologies that leverage existing technology, but are more advanced at providing benefits not achievable with current
