| Larger systems are easier to
build to take advantage of large scale efficiencies. For example we can use 30 foot tall solar collectors in larger systems which can improve overall system efficiency. As a result the cost per gallon drops dramatically as system sizes increase. Systems which are large enough to occupy an entire 8' X 20' trailer container unit are much cheaper for shipping. |
Sizing
In ideal locations like mountains near Sydney Australia costs under $1,200 per acre foot could be possible for systems producing more than 50 million gallons per day. |
