Précis:Solar power in India is poised to expand rapidly in the next five years but which of the three technologies on offer is best suited this vast and complex new market?By Francesca Boothby
When examining which CSP technology would be most suitable for India from an operational cost output perspective, there are a number of main factors to be considered.
