This paper discusses the concentrating solar technologies used for utility-scale solar power. Specifically, it explains the rationale
behind the use of concentration for photovoltaic modules, and how concentrating photovoltaic technologies compare with
concentrating solar thermal technologies. It describes innovations in both areas, and how they are addressing the cost challenges
to meet the needs of the utility scale market.
