Solar Steam Augmentation:A Sensible Alternative to PV

摘要

After years of being poised for rapid growth, the opportunities for concentrated solar power (CSP) are multiplying fast. Analysts expect that over the next decade there will be a 20-fold increase in CSP generation, with several factors driving the increased interest.Some solar power producers are benefitting because solar's cost is better understood. Traditionally measured cost of solar power production has decreased, but analysts are increasingly factoring in volatile fuel prices, impact to the grid and the environmental costs of such things as land use, water use and fossil fuel emissions.
