Over the last decade the field of solar photovoltaics has experienced a significant transformation through technological and commensurate economic advances which have led to solar panel costs breaking the $1/Wp target. This trend is expected to continue but now towards the new coveted target of $1/Wp installed. Within this framework, concentrated photovoltaics is emerging as an economically viable terrestrial solar technology platform. Fundamentally, the technology involves using advanced optical and thermal materials and techniques to maximize solar harvesting through the concentration of light to upwards of 1000 suns onto a small area of the highest efficiency multijunction crystalline semiconductor photovoltaic cell.

在过去的十年中，太阳能光伏发电领域经历了重大的变革，技术和相应的经济进步导致太阳能电池板成本突破了1美元/Wp的目标。这一趋势预计将继续下去，但现在正在朝着新的令人垂涎的目标1美元/Wp安装。在这一框架内，聚光光伏技术正在成为一种经济上可行的地面太阳能技术平台。从根本上说，该技术涉及使用先进的光学和热材料和技术，通过将高达1000个太阳的光集中到最高效率的多结晶体半导体光伏电池的小面积上来最大限度地收集太阳能。
