A Sunny Outlook For Emcore - Barron's

You are missing the most important point of the article:

"THE ECONOMICS OF CPV versus thin-film go like this: CPV semiconductor cells are roughly 20 times more expensive than those used in thin-film technology -- and more difficult to make -- but require just one-one thousandth of the amount of material needed by thin-film. Using CPV technology, a solar park would need one acre of land to generate a megawatt of power; using thin-film technology, it would need 15 times the land area, CEO Hou says. That makes for lower installation, maintenance and real-estate costs"

It will be difficult to gain acceptance at those prices.
