consistent with making solar thermal systems competitive with a wide range of fuels., and in many regions of the country is $50-60/m2 and a delivered energy cost of $5-6/gJ. First, compare first and second generation heliostat cost breakdowns to establish relative importance and cost impact of current sub-component elements. Second, establish feasibility and potential of reducing subelement costs based on current studies and research directions. Third, provide estimates of costs associated with new innovations where possible to support potential projections and feasibility recommend the required research to attain the subelement cost goals.
