Solar Trust of America, the developer of the world's largest solar-power plant, will switch technologies to photovoltaic equipment from concentrated solar for the first 500-megawatt phase of the facility near Blythe, California, the company said in an e-mailed statement. The change was largely motivated by "improved market conditions" for photovoltaic devices, which have plunged in price per kilowatt-hour in recent years, Solar Trust said.
