Hybrid Lighting Applications

Table 3. Cost and performance comparison between hybrid solar concentrator and commercial system applied to both applications.
Parameter	Proposed System	Commercial System
System Cost	$2000/m²	$5000/m²
Delivered lumens (buildings)	50,000/m²	25,000/m²
Delivered lumens (photobioreactors)	60,000/m²	25,000/m²
$/delivered lumen (buildings)	$0.04/lm	$0.20/lm
$/delivered lumen (photobioreactor)	$0.03/lm	$0.20/lm

Table 3 compares the projected cost and performance of the proposed system with that of a state-of-the-art commercial system. The anticipated cost per delivered lumen of the proposed system far is much less than that of its only commercial counterpart
