solar resource CPV is the technology of choice in regions with high DNI (>1800 kWh/m²): Southern Europe, Northern & Southern Africa Middle East The US South-West Australia
market lowest cost of electricity Cost reduction is driven by Production growth through large scale projects Product development Efficiency source
isfoc model Global reference project for commercial deployment of concentration photovoltaics. Providing reliable information on power and productivity of CPV systems through the installation of pilot plants of various technologies. Our aim is to train a group of experts capable of promoting high level industrial and academic research. UPM-IES

projects PSE SIGMASOLES (National Singular and Strategic Projects)Financed by Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation. It covers most of R&D areas for CPV, establishing a very dinamic consortium: Cells Optics Modules Trackers Power plants - BOS Pilot Plants - Test fields Characterization Modeling Management - Dissemination
projects MASDAR - ISFOC Pilot Plant up to 1MW ISFOC carries out project management, technology selection and evaluation, rating, monitoring and reporting of CPV performance under Gulf area conditions. Co-financed by Spanish Government. Project start - March 2010.

proposal of a spanish CPV FIT Regulatory framework that must be predictable, profitable for the investor, assumable by the Administration and the general public, and sustainable. Power allocation for CPV plants (10MW/year). Extra financing support (FiT, Tax exemption, etc...) +10c€/kWh (decreasing 13%)
proposal of a spanish CPV FIT Scenario:Investors require a minimum IRR for the project of 9% CPV installation located in Spain generates around 1,881 kWh/kWp, 50% self funding and 50% financing at an interest rate of Euribor+3%
proposal of a spanish CPV FIT cost of €325M Benefits Investment (installs and industry) of €431M employment of 2500 approx. electricity production of €75M CO2 emissions avoided 559.000 Tm SO2 emissions avoided 1.738 Tm
CPV challenges • Science - Technology support measures • cell efficiency • materials • sun tracking • optics • Industrial support • from prototype to product • testing & reliability • rating • value chain • Regulatory support • technology deployment • access to large projects financing
conclusions • EU is scientifically and technologically well positioned for leading the growth of CPV sector. • EU is leading the CPV deployment with first field experiences • CPV is demonstrating its capabilities for large scale deployment and will play a significant role in future energy solutions. • Regulation and legal frame for EU and MENA region.
