The other advantages




Since this project is still in an early development phase, I can currently do not specify a unique pricing and further details.
However, I can now accurately identify the cost structure of a 1000 MW 3D solar plant, which are not compared to current open space 
systems arise.  A  5 kWp 3D solar panel but will not cost more than $ 2500.

As example 1000 MW solar plant witth CdS / CdTe thin film modules with 75 Wp of First Solar.

1 GW = approximately 13 million modules covering an area of ​​3100 ha  

Reduction of the costs in percent:


- Land use (land / lease costs)                              99%
- PV module racks (mounting materials)                 90%
- Module (frame, glass, cables, connectors)      65 - 75% 

Other advantages and cost-reducing factors:

- Low maintenance costs (repairs, management, monitoring)
- No shading of the modules (more yield)
- No contamination of the modules (more yield)
- No income-reducing effect of heat on the solar cells
- Minimum effort for cleaning of the optical lenses
