Abstract
We have demonstrated that the economics of power towers are strongly governed by the structural cost of the heliostats rather than by their optical performance. We have brought down the cost of a tripod heliostat to $ 72/m2 which is less than half that of the conventional systems and meets the target set by the US National Academy of Engineering.
