Hi mate, I think you misunderstood me.

It captures 30% of energy as PV and 60% as heat energy. The whole system itself is about 80% efficiency in terms of the energy captured from the sun, not the PV itself.

This makes it more effective than if you somehow had a molten salt and a normal PV plant in superposition on the same site.
