CSP is also increasingly competing with the cheaper photovoltaic solar power and with concentrator photovoltaics (CPV), a fast-growing technology that just like CSP is suited best for regions of high solar insolation.
CSP也越来越多地与更便宜的光伏太阳能发电竞争，并采用聚光光伏（英语：Concentrator photovoltaics）（CPV），这是一种快速增长的技术，就像CSP最适合高太阳能日照的地区一样。
