Vast Solar is one of the few commercial firms numbering-up modules in CSP. Efficiency or LCOE: which is more important to reduce the cost of Gen-3 CSP systems? A pair of related papers from ANU in Australia compare the value of efficiency versus Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) in Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) systems. The …
