Concentrating Photovoltaics (CPV) continues to generate interest and investment worldwide as a unique solution for large-scale commercial and utility-scale solar power generation. This report, building on research conducted in 2008 by the Prometheus Institute and GTM Research, takes a detailed look at the specific technologies, applications, policies, early adopters and economics of low-, medium-, and high-concentration CPV. It includes a unique LCOE analysis of CPV, comparing the economics of CPV versus flat-plate PV and other solar power options, and identifying key geographies and markets for CPV.
