projects PSE SIGMASOLES (National Singular and Strategic Projects)Financed by Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation. It covers most of R&D areas for CPV, establishing a very dinamic consortium: Cells Optics Modules Trackers Power plants - BOS Pilot Plants - Test fields Characterization Modeling Management - Dissemination

projects MASDAR - ISFOC Pilot Plant up to 1MW ISFOC carries out project management, technology selection and evaluation, rating, monitoring and reporting of CPV performance under Gulf area conditions. Co-financed by Spanish Government. Project start - March 2010.

proposal of a spanish CPV FIT Regulatory framework that must be predictable, profitable for the investor, assumable by the Administration and the general public, and sustainable. Power allocation for CPV plants (10MW/year). Extra financing support (FiT, Tax exemption, etc...) +10c€/kWh (decreasing 13%)

proposal of a spanish CPV FIT scenario price €/Wp learning factor market growth Conventional flat Si module 1,818%20% CPV module3,525%30%+

proposal of a spanish CPV FIT Scenario:Investors require a minimum IRR for the project of 9% CPV installation located in Spain generates around 1,881 kWh/kWp, 50% self funding and 50% financing at an interest rate of Euribor+3%

proposal of a spanish CPV FIT cost of €325M Benefits Investment (installs and industry) of €431M employment of 2500 approx. electricity production of €75M CO2 emissions avoided Tm SO2 emissions avoided Tm

CPV challenges Science - Technology support measures cell efficiency materials sun tracking optics Industrial support from prototype to product testing & reliability rating value chain Regulatory support technology deployment access to large projects financing

conclusions EU is scientifically and technologically well positioned for leading the growth of CPV sector. EU is leading the CPV deployment with first field experiences CPV is demonstrating its capabilities for large scale deployment and will play a significant role in future energy solutions. Regulation and legal frame for EU and MENA region.
