===== 1. Initial Investment: - High Cost of Optics and Tracking: CPV systems require precision optics and tracking mechanisms, which can be expensive compared to traditional PV systems. - Complex Installation: The installation and maintenance of CPV systems are more complex due to the need for accurate alignment and tracking. ===== # Heat Management: - Cooling Requirements: Concentrating sunlight generates significant heat, necessitating robust cooling systems to avoid damage and maintain performance. # Geographical Suitability: - High Direct Sunlight: CPV systems are most effective in regions with high direct normal irradiance (DNI), like the Sahara desert in Egypt, where the sun is strong and skies are clear. - Site Assessment: Detailed assessment of solar resources and site conditions is essential to ensure the feasibility and efficiency of CPV systems. # Maintenance and Durability: - Ongoing Maintenance: The tracking and optical systems require regular maintenance to ensure proper operation. - Dust and Sand: In desert regions, dust and sand accumulation can reduce the efficiency of CPV systems and require additional cleaning and maintenance.
