At Solar Power, I heard a consultant make the same comment about the large amount of metal in this design. With the ease in commodity prices, this should not be an issue in the near term. The CPV cost reduction path remains to be proven as production ramps beyond multi-MegaWatt volumes. I always thought the CarouSol was a differentiator for GreenVolts.

What is your impression?<br/><br/>I wish green-volts luck. Do you think their system will lead to lower cost solar?
