examined and the implications of these trends for dispersed power systems are evaluated. Financial factors which affect the user cost of solar power and market penetration are explored; more detailed quantitative analysis will be available in future documents. Regional variations of the solar resource are discussed and a research agenda is compiled for dispersed solar thermal systems. Show Less
