Schematic comparing the cost and dispatchability of PV to CSP with thermal storage. The “PV+Storage” box includes the high cost of electrical storage for PV. The marginal economic value of installing PV is predicted to fall by half when PV meets more than 20% of the California utility load. Source: ARPA-E. Click to enlarge.
