Abstract: . . .  Total 1100 1300 1500 1700 1900 2100 2300 2500 tions of table 1. Since today’s costs of solar thermal power plants are lower than of PV systems, the levelised electricity costs are also lower above global irradiations of 1100 kWh/(m² a) although the specific output of the PV system is higher until 1700 kWh/(m² a). Nevertheless, there is a high uncertainty in the simulation results of solar thermal power plants at very low irradiations. Due to the high investment costs for multi megawatt solar thermal . . .

Solar thermal power plants remain the bestcost solution in South Europe and North Africa with possible generation costs below 10 Eurocents/kWh. Woditsch, P.
