NEW YORK--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Link to Fitch Ratings' Report: Differentiating Solar Technology Risks: A Comparative Focus at the Utility Scale

[ http://www.fitchratings.com/creditdesk/reports/report_frame.cfm?rpt_id=682264 ]

Fitch Ratings compares and contrasts solar technologies on the basis of degradation, efficiency, site suitability, tracking systems, water requirements, energy storage with associated benefits, and performance uncertainty in a new special report. Additionally, the report provides a brief overview of photovoltaic, concentrating thermal solar power, and concentrating photovoltaic technologies, as well as a side-by-side comparison of three Fitch publicly rated utility-scale solar projects.

The report is intended to provide a better understanding of the existing utility-scale solar technologies in the market and what differentiates one from another. This report does not intend to rank solar technologies, but it does address each technology's performance uncertainties. These findings are based on Fitch's rating of more than 25 public and private solar power projects globally over the past two years.

For more information, a special report titled 'Differentiating Solar Technology Risks' is available on the Fitch Ratings web site at [ www.fitchratings.com ].
