The main reason for todays small size of Concentration Photovoltaics (CPV) market is the low bankability of CPV installation projects.This is mainly due to higher system cost and lesser maturity compared to crystalline silicon PV,but also due to lack of understanding of the energy business by many CPV players.Actually,in the case of CPV,the main product is not the CPV module but the electricity generated.The main parameter is therefore not the module efficiency/cost,but the Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) produced by CPV system.High-Concentration PV (HCPV) based on Ⅲ-Ⅴ semiconductor materials has the highest differentiating value from the conventional flat-panel PV systems,thus limiting direct competition with more mature,mass produced technologies,such as crystalline silicon.The paper presents a current position of HCPV technology in the PV market and discuss the origins of a low bankability of HCPV projects.Two scenario of the HCPV market and technology development for the coming years are provided.According to Yoles conservative scenario the HCPV annual market will reach 870MW by 2020.
