The book explores the diversification of large-scale solar power plants, focusing on Fresnel, Parabolic Trough, and Photovoltaic technologies. It addresses the challenge of selecting the best solution based on project specifications and location. By analyzing financing structures and current cost data, it offers a fair comparison among technologies. A software tool is introduced to calculate annual energy outputs at various locations, ultimately determining the Levelized Electricity Cost (LEC) as the key metric for comparison.
