SolFocus, a concentrated Photovoltaics (CPV) vendor, just announced a large CPV project being developed in Baja California near Tecate, Mexico – right on the U.S.-Mexico border.
At 50 megawatts with the potential to expand to 450 megawatts, it could easily be one of the largest, if not the largest, CPV development on earth.
The leaders in the CPV systems markets are Amonix, Soitec, and SolFocus, but things have been relatively quiet in CPV of late. The largest operating CPV power plant in the U.S. is the Hatch site in New Mexico, at least until the 30-megawatt Alamosa project comes online.
