Dear Rick. Thanks for the Information which i can use and implement in the project. Heliostats and CSP are so far known to me and not far from me built, in the FZ Jülich. I am particularly concerned about Senegal and mini heliostats for decentralized small applications, in Africa, in Senegal. For H2 production. I am interested in prices and application in Africa.
I've read your CV and am very impressed. Perhaps we will work together once? Also with the MIT? I invite you to participate in the Bonn Climate Project. You can find all important information here at researchgate. It will be a pleasure to cooperate with you.
I have worked on low-cost heliostats at NASA's JPL in Pasdena. There are some publications, which sum up the major findings. There is also a specific paper on cost estimates. I've attached the files. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email me.
Good luck and best regards from Austria, Armin
