Energy from the Desert - 2015 Edition - Detailed overwiev about PV power
The report shows how very large scale solar electricity generation provides
economic, social and environmental benefits, security of electricity supply
and fair access to affordable and sustainable energy solutions. It closes
15 years of research that have paved the way for the integration of VLS-PV
in the electricity world of today and tomorrow.

|
Energy from the Desert - 2013 Edition
- In three parts, the study details the background and concept of VLS-PV,
maps out a development path towards the realization of VLS-PV systems,
and provides firm recommendations to achieve long-term targets, based on
the findings of the IEA PVPS Task 8 experts.
