Particle PV-CSP-sCO2 hybrid achieves 72 EUR/MWh in new SolarPACES study
Particle-based PV-CSP-sCO2 achieves 72 EUR/MWh LCOE, outperforming molten salt hybrids in new SolarPACES study.

A new techno-economic study published in Solar Energy (Volume 318, 2026) finds that particle-based concentrating solar power (CSP) combined with photovoltaics and supercritical CO2 (sCO2) power blocks...
