1.Status Quo CPV vs.PV The enormous cost pressure emanating from the crystalline PV technology makes successful project acquisition in the CPV technology sector extremely difficult.Moreover, the higher risk produced by lacking long-term data from existing plants (output in MW/h per annum) and insecure plant reliability (no evidence for 20+ years' service life) additionally erode the true advantages of a much higher cost cutting potential through higher efficiency on the one hand and lower LCOE on the other hand! It is therefore indispensable to provide an accurate manufacturing process description to circumscribe the risk with precise forecasts on capital expenditure, quality, output and cost reduction through scalability!
