太阳能技术成本的降低使光伏(PV)和聚光太阳能(CSP)从利基应用转向美国电网的主要贡献者的前景。这一发展促使对光伏和CSP在不同经济条件下的潜在部署进行了一些技术经济分析。由美国能源部(DOE)赞助并于2012年完成的两项研究可以帮助我们了解大规模部署太阳能的潜在机遇和挑战。这些研究评估了可再生能源技术的潜在组合，这些技术可以满足美国很大一部分电力需求，以及与之相关的美国电网到2050年的演变。
The decreased costs of solar technologies have led to the prospect of a move for photovoltaic (PV ) and concentrating solar power (CSP ) from niche applications to major contributors to the U.S. electricity grid. This development has motivated a number of technoeconomic analyses of the potential deployment of both PV and CSP under varying economic conditions. Two studies sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE ) and completed in 2012 can help us understand the potential opportunities and challenges for solar deployment on a large scale. These studies evaluated both the potential mix of renewable energy technologies that could serve a large fraction of the U.S. electricity demand and the associated evolution of the U.S. grid to 2050.
