Photovoltaics (PV) - grid-tied and off grid
•
PV produces electricity
•
no tracking required
•
works anywhere
•
electrochemical storage possible

Concentrated solar power (CSP)
•
Only for Sunbelt areas with high DNI
•
Tracking is mandatory
•
Hybrid operation possible (with CCP)
•
Molten salt storage possible

Once we know resource and zones:
How do we get to realistic and
feasible scenarios?
Scenarios
Political, regulatory
& financial
instruments
What needs to be done to create the
right framework for low-risk
scenario deployment?
