Results of a manufacturing cost analysis of heliostats are presented. The two primary objectives are: (1) providing a base for uniform cost analysis, and (2) providing facility and manufacturing cost estimates for planning purposes in the development of a heliostat industry. The manufacturing analysis provides materials, labor, equipment, and facility costs for each step in the manufacturing process. Detailed procedures are presented for cost estimates. These include estimating worksheets for each component of the manufacturing costs.
