Concentrated solar power efficiency.
Swiss company insolight has reached 29 efficiency for its unique solar panel as verified by the solar energy institute of the universidad politécnica de madrid ies upm.
The solar to electricity efficiency of a csp system depends on many factors including the type of csp system the receiver and the engine.
The solar energy technologies office seto supports research and development of concentrating solar thermal power csp technologies that reduce the cost of solar energy.
In addition to the conversion efficiency the optical system which concentrates the sunlight will also add additional losses.
Most csp technologies will have an efficiency somewhere between 7 and 25 percent.
The efficiency of a concentrating solar power system will depend on the technology used to convert the solar power to electrical energy the operating temperature of the receiver and the heat rejection thermal losses in the system and the presence or absence of other system losses.
