太阳能辅助发电（SAPG）是太阳能和化石发电厂技术的协同作用，即将前者的环境效益与后者的规模、效率和可靠性结合起来。使用南非利法莱尔的天气数据进行了发电厂模拟; Matimba和目前正在建设中的Medupi燃煤发电站的所在地。将利法莱尔的SAPG工厂与南非阿平顿的独立聚光太阳能发电（CSP）进行了比较。抛物面槽收集器太阳能领域的相同大小被认为是这两种配置。SAPG工厂的太阳能热发电量比独立的CSP工厂高出25%以上。如果SAPG的成本是独立CSP成本的72%，则SAPG的成本效益是独立CSP选项的1.8倍。
Solar aided power generation (SAPG) is the synergy of solar and fossil plant technology, namely combining the environmental benefits of the former and the scale, efficiency and reliability of the latter. Power plant simulations were performed using weather data for Lephalale, South Africa; home to the Matimba and, currently under construction, Medupi coal-fired power stations. A SAPG plant at Lephalale was compared to a stand-alone concentrating solar power (CSP) in a good solar resource area, namely Upington, South Africa. Parabolic trough collector solar fields of equal size were considered for both configurations. The annual electricity generated from solar thermal at the SAPG plant is more than 25% greater than the stand-alone CSP plant. If the cost of SAPG is taken as 72% of the cost of a stand-alone CSP, SAPG is 1.8 times more cost effective than the stand-alone CSP option.
