It would make sense.
Thermal concentrator cost is basically fixed: mirrors of a specific quality, tracking mounts, an eye of sauron cooling loop. That tech doesn’t change.
But the bulk of photovoltaic installation cost is the panels. And those get exponentially cheaper.

They’ve gotten cheap, in fact, that the panels are sometimes less expensive than the labor and mounting hardware.
