TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed various advanced solar thermal electricity technologies with an emphasis on new technology and new market approaches, and made suggestions for more effective programmes of support for these technologies.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an overview of various cooling methods that can be employed for photovoltaic cells, including linear concentrators, single-cell arrangements, and densely packed photovolastic cells.

TL;DR: A review of the various solar hybrid beam splitting systems proposed in the literature and the different spectrum splitting strategies employed is presented in this article, where the authors present a review of different spectrum-splitting strategies employed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Compact Linear Fresnel Reflector (CLFR) concept was evaluated for large scale solar thermal electricity generation plants and different versions of the basic CLFR concept that are evaluated include absorber orientation, absorber structure, the use of secondary reflectors adjacent to the absorbers, reflector field configurations, mirror packing densities, and receiver heights.

TL;DR: In this paper, the suitability of high melting point phase change materials for use in new, large scale solar thermal electricity plants is investigated and their operating parameters modeled and analyzed, and the mathematical characteristics of charging and discharging these storage materials are discussed.
