Solar Cogeneration of Electricity with High-Temperature Process Heat

CPV-solar thermal system delivering LCOE of $0.03/kWh

Researchers have created a device to produce electricity and steam at the same time. The system is said to offer 85.1% efficiency and deliver steam at up to 248 degrees Celsius. The converter combines III–V, triple-junction solar cells and a high-efficiency solar thermal system based on parabolic trough collectors.
