systems. The intent is to provide potential users with an overview of present technologies and those technologies that will be available within the next few years. Sandia Laboratories' assessments of the strengths and weaknesses of each techno logy have been included in the hope that developers of the technology will be able to improve component and system designs to the point where they become fully competitive with alternate energy sources. This document will be revised periodically (possibly at one-two year intervals) to incorporate new developments. Questions and comments are encouraged; they should be addressed to Large Power Systems Division 8452, Solar Energy Department, Sandia Laboratories, Livermore, CA 94550. Show Less
