Sunrgi :: Solar Energy Systems Concentrated Solar
Using SUNRGI's proprietary technology it is possible to produce large amounts of electricity from solar radiation at a wholesale price of US $0.05 / kWh
"Solar power at 5 cents per kWh would be a world-changing breakthrough. It would make solar generation of electricity as affordable as generation from coal, natural gas or other non-renewable sources, without requiring any subsidy."

Start-Up Makes Solar Cells Cheap Enough to Compete with Fossil Fuels
The most efficient solar tech on the market today is the silicon solar cell. There’s just one drawback–implementing the tech costs up to $4 per watt, almost four times the cost of fossil fuel-derived electricity. Luckily, an innovative new production process could completely revolutionize the solar industry. 1366 Technologies says it can reduce silicon cell production costs by as much as 80 percent, finally decreasing the cost of solar to the point where it can compete with fossil fuel-based electricity! If the company can deliver on its claims, America may see widespread adoption of solar technology in the next few years.
