If you are wondering where the concentrating solar power (CSP) or concentrator photovoltaics (CPV) is heading from here, crane your neck and look upward, says Elisa Wood, US correspondent, RenewableEnergyWorld.com. Forecasts show industry growth climbing steeply from 2010.
The International Energy Agency says the resource could account for 11% of global electricity demand by 2050, with North America as the largest producer, followed by North Africa and India. Emerging Energy Research (EER) forecasts the addition of 20GW of CSP globally by 2020, up from about 1GW today.
