Abstract
A structured unbiased methodology is applied to identify an optimized 24/7, year-round solar power system, based on the lowest system Levelized Electricity Cost (LEC`) and meeting other fundamental system requirements. The process leads to selection of a hybrid SCR-PV system that includes thermal energy storage and fuel production. Directions for future R&D and upgrading the method are indicated.
