U.S. Concentrating Solar Power Outlook 2010
SUGAR LAND--October 26, 2009--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Solar energy represents a huge potential domestic energy resource for the United States, particularly in the Southwest, where the deserts have some of the best solar-resource levels in the world. In the past, the majority of solar generation was installed for remote-distributed energy use application. For this application, photovoltaic (PV) panels have been the best-suited technology. As utilities put more interest into solar generation projects, solar thermal technologies, especially concentrating solar power (CSP), are gaining more attention. Currently, there are a variety of CSP technologies that use reflective materials such as mirrors to concentrate the sun's rays to utilize heat energy for conversion to electricity.
