Solar Updraft Tower Market : Quantitative Market Analysis, Current and Future Trends, 2017 - 2025
A conventional solar updraft tower has a considerably lower power conversion rate in comparison with the other technologies used for solar thermal collection in the high temperature group. The low cost per sq. mtr of solar collection, however, balanced the low conversion rate to some extent. A 100 MW unit generally requires a 1,000 m tower and a 20 square kilometers greenhouse. A 200 MW unit with the same tower needs a collector of 7 kilometers in diameter.
