CPV Chart Thread, page-3021

In one of the videos the CPV was claImed to output 30W per square metre (m2) of glass (3% effIcIency on the assumptIon that the solar radIatIon was at a peak 1000W per m2)
Compared this wIth Solar PV panels with efficiency of more than 20% = 200W per m2. ie nearly 7 times better than CPV
Then comes the cost quoted at an extra $60 per m2 for CPV (relatIve to normal double glazIng) whIch compares favourably to the current $100 per m2 of Solar PV.

When CPV wIndows are Ideally posItIoned to receive the same solar Input as roof mounted solar panels (almost ImpossIble) the CPV wIndows take up 200/30 = 6.6 tImes the surface area at 6.6*60/100 = 3.6 tImes the capItal Investment for the same power output.
ie 3.6 tImes longer to when you break even!
I doubt anyone would Invest knowIng It takes a mInImum of 20 years to recover your $$$s
Surely there are less rIsky Investment opportunItIes. You day traders already know thIs

Maybe now you can all see why the company doesnt provIde calculators or example calculatIons...

Just my humble engIneerIng opInIon.
