The place of solar power: an economic analysis of concentrated and distributed solar power [PDF]

Chemistry Central Journal, 2012
This paper examines the cost and benefits, both financial and environmental, of two leading forms of solar power generation, grid-tied photovoltaic cells and Dish Stirling Systems, using conventional carbon-based fuel as a benchmark.First we define how these solar technologies will be implemented and why.
