Suntech Power Holdings Co., Ltd. (NYSE: STP), the world's leading manufacturer of crystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) modules, today announced it will develop a 10MW solar power plant in Dongtai, Jiangsu Province in conjunction with its strategic partner Huadian New Energy Development Co., Ltd. (HNE). Suntech will supply high quality solar modules and design and manage the installation of the plant. Suntech holds a minority share of the project.
Applied Materials, Inc., the leading supplier of equipment and services to the solar photovoltaic (PV) industry, announced today that it has acquired substantially all the assets, including the intellectual property, of Advent Solar, Inc. for an undisclosed cash amount. Advent Solar is a developer of advanced technology for crystalline silicon (c-Si) PVs. This acquisition is expected to complement Applied’s portfolio of solar PV technologies and enhance its leadership in the c-Si equipment market.
The Greek solar PV market is ready for take-off, following Spain and Italy as the next interesting Mediterranean top spot. Greece is set to become one of the global top ten biggest PV markets in 2010. This optimism is driven by the generous feed-in tariff in combination with a sunny climate. Even the problems of bureaucracy seem to have been resolved after two years of struggling.
Italy has been on the global PV investment map for the last three years. The reason is the generous feed-in-tariffs that have been offered since 2006. This, combined with remarkable solar irradiation, led to a quick boom on the Italian PV market. The purpose of the report is to study the Italian PV market situation and analyze the market potential and forecasts for the coming years.
Scientists are making progress toward development of an "artificial leaf" that mimics a real leaf's chemical magic with photosynthesis — but instead converts sunlight and water into a liquid fuel such as methanol for cars and trucks. That is among the conclusions in a newly-available report from top authorities on solar energy who met at the 1st Annual Chemical Sciences and Society Symposium. The gathering launched a new effort to initiate international cooperation and innovative thinking on the global energy challenge.
MiaSolé, the emerging leader in the manufacture of CIGS thin film photovoltaic modules received simultaneous certification of its 100 and 107 watt CIGS thin film, solar modules to UL 1703 and IEC 61646 and 61730 standards on October 30, 2009. It was the first CIGS thin film module to be certified by UL to the three most critical certification standards and all three UL certifications were accomplished simultaneously.
Lockheed Martin is upgrading its Lake Underhill Facility in Orlando, Florida with solar-powered streetlights from Carmanah Technologies (TSX:CMH). While building on the company’s past successes with energy-efficient lighting, this new innovation underscores an ongoing commitment to Lockheed Martin’s commitment to reduce energy usage in its facilities worldwide. The powerful new street-lighting system will be supplied by HD Supply and SESCO, Carmanah’s lighting representatives for the Central Florida region. In addition to providing significant savings on installation and wiring, the stand-alone lighting alternative is expected to return significant energy savings during the next 20 years.
Just three weeks after G24 Innovations (G24i) successfully launched the world’s first commercial application of Dye-Sensitive Solar Cells (DSSC), the global pioneer of DSSC announced that it has signed a formal agreement with three of China’s most prestigious institutes to accelerate industrial development of the technology. Continuing its expansion, G24i has signed an agreement with the China National Academy of Nanotechnology & Engineering (CNANE) in Tianjin, together with the Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry (CIAC), which is part of the China Academy of Sciences, and the Nanotechnology Industrialization Base of China (NIBC).
New scientific discoveries are moving society toward the era of "personalized solar energy," in which the focus of electricity production shifts from huge central generating stations to individuals in their own homes and communities
SANYO Energy, S.A. de C.V. (SANYO Energy), a subsidiary of SANYO Electric Co., Ltd. (SANYO), has officially opened and started production in Monterrey. The plant, located in Nuevo Leon, Mexico, will be assembling SANYO’s patented HIT (Heterjunction with Intrinsic Thin-layer) solar modules. SANYO’s HIT solar cells and modules have the world’s highest solar light to electric energy conversion efficiency per installed square foot. SANYO Energy will be producing at a capacity of 50-Megawatts annually, with the assembled panels to be used in installations in North America, including the United States.
