What technology is shaping the solar markets?
The Global Energy Infrastructure solar database is dominated by two types of technology: Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) and Photovoltaic (PV). The only common factor in these technology groups is that the sun is the source of energy. Beyond that they differ in terms of how power is produced and how expensive they are. Concentrated Solar Power technologies makes use of the sun’s radiation to heat liquid substances that drive a heat engine or drive an electric generator. Photovoltaic uses light emitted by absorbing it into special receptive panels that breaks the electrons to generate an electric current. Both CSP and PV have benefits and disadvantages. Electricity is a difficult material to
