Abstract

The energy-generating potential of photovoltaics is huge—but it does suffer from some practical challenges, particularly related to the required size of generating installations. The solar resource is quite dilute, which means that a photovoltaic power plant needs to occupy a very large area compared to conventional power plants to generate a given amount of output.
