Development of Low-Cost Suspension Heliostat. Final Technical Progress Report, December 7, 2011-December 6, 2012.

摘要

The SunShot Incubator project is a significant effort of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to partner with U.S. industry to accelerate the commercialization of solar energy systems that can meet aggressive cost and capacity goals by the end of the decade. Specifically, the SunShot Incubator projects fund technologies with a disruptive potential to reach the DOE SunShot Initiative goal of an unsubsidized cost-competitive levelized cost of energy by the end of the decade. This is estimated to be approximately 6 cents/kW-hr at utility scale.
