Research abstract
The proposed project is aimed at using concentrating solar power (CSP) technology for thermal electricity generation. The target market is small scale residential and commercial applications. These could be either rooftop, backyard or community-based systems that do not require a lot of land and can be sited close to load centers. CSP technology has demonstrated better end-to-end efficiency (30%) than photovoltaic (15%) in generating electrical power, and OPC
