This technology is the way to go.....

Solar Systems’ CPV technology is suited to large utility-scale electrical power
generation using its proprietary “Dense Array” concentrating photovoltaic (CPV) solar
conversion technology. This technology involves concentrating a large area of
sunlight to approximately 500 times the normal intensity, and focussing this energy
onto ultra-high efficiency photovoltaic cells which directly convert the light into
electricity at low cost. The Dense Array technology is in the final stages of
preparation for potential deployment in the burgeoning global utility-scale solar
power station market. The key and unique advantages of this technology include the
use of advanced ‘triple junction’ solar cells currently capable of approximately 40%
conversion efficiency - approximately double the efficiency of today’s best siliconbased
cells - and the use of active cooling to maximize power output and lifetime
performance from the solar cells.
