  3. Heavy funding.

  4. Plenty of desert land for both. European countries can cover the cost African can not.

  5. Lower capacitive losses.

  6. Relative to PV Capital investment in CSP is much higher. Design Installation & commissioning time of CSP is longer. Production hours of CSP are shorter (daily and yearly). Operational cost of CSP is higher. Maintenance cost of CSP is higher.

  7. It is much more complicated than just daylight hours.
