GM1E81J0COW01 Amonix's CPV solar panel cells are seen at the Lyle Center on the Cal Poly Pomona campus in Pomona, California January 17, 2012. A fledgling but fast-growing solar technology, also known as concentrating photovoltaics, or CPV, that multiplies the sun's power up to many hundreds of times promises to deliver cheaper electricity than traditional panels and has received the backing of some major industry players. Amonix's CPV solar panel cells, currently being tested at the Lyle Center, has quietly emerged in the last year as the solar panel market's fastest growing technology. Picture taken January 17, 2012.

GM1E61M19QD01 A worker walks past panels at a high-concentration photovoltaic (HCPV) solar energy power plant in Lujhu Township of Kaohsiung County, southern Taiwan, January 22, 2010. The place, which is the largest HCPV solar power plant in Asia, has 141 panels and is expected to produce up to 1 megawatt (MW) of energy, which officials said would save up to 670 tonnes of carbon emissions annually. HCPV power plants use sets of dish reflectors and concentrating optics to focus sunlight into greater densities, which allows solar power plants to be situated in smaller areas, according to local media.
