…CPV installations reached 350 megawatts (MW), less than 0.2% of the global installed capacity of 230,000 MW that year. HCPV directly competes with concentrated solar power (CSP) as both technologies are suited best for areas with high direct normal irradiance, which are also known as the Sun Belt region in the United…
