This study considers only the two widely recognized classes of technologies for converting solar energy into electricity - photovoltaics (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP), sometimes called solar thermal) - in their current and plausible future forms. Because energy supply facilities typically last several decades, technologies in these classes will dominate solar-powered generation between now ...
