SolFocus Inc., a provider of concentrator photovoltaic solar energy solutions, said
Monday it signed a $103 million agreement to install more than 10 megawatts of
CPV solar energy projects in several sites across southern Spain by the end of
2010.
Mountain View-based SolFocus' said its CPV systems use a combination of
"high-efficiency PV cells and advanced optics to provide high solar energy
yields at competitive costs for commercial, industrial, and utility
applications."
$10.30 per watt in construction costs? Could it really be spendier than offshore wind?
I'm hunting for reliable numbers on the typical per-watt construction costs of different kinds of commercial-scale electrical generation technologies, so far with little success. I've looked through the mountains of data at the Energy Information Administration, googled at length on the Handy-Whitman index (amongst other terms)--without much success.
Any readers have suggestions on where to find this data?
