The biggest problem with solar panels is they cost too much for the power they generate. AccuStrata Inc. is developing a technology that could change that.
Due to the sharp drop in polysilicon price, most solar cell manufacturers have reduced the price, which led to a fall of most manufacturers' earnings. However, as to the output, most of them keep it the same to 2008 or more.
The Ministry of Finance of the People's Republic of China released its list of "Golden Sun Demonstration Projects" in December, which includes 222 on-grid photovoltaic projects, 18 off-grid photovoltaic systemh projects and 35 large photovoltaic plants. Astronergy Solar has been awarded six of these projects, with a combined capacity of 7.86 MW.
Cyrium Technologies Inc. announced today the introduction of the company’s first commercial product line: QDEC (Quantum Dot Enhanced Cell), a line of high-efficiency concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) cells for land-based, commercial solar applications.
Kyocera Corporation (NYSE:KYO)(TOKYO:6971) today announced that it will provide approximately 13 megawatts (MW) of solar modules for the Ohgishima Solar Power Plant "Mega Solar System," planned by Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) with construction by Hitachi, Ltd. Scheduled for completion in 2011, the installation will be one of the largest in Japan, providing electricity for approximately 3,800 homes and off-setting about 5,800 tons of CO2 emissions each year. To promote land-use efficiency, the Kyocera solar modules, covering about 57 acres, will be installed on an artificial island just outside of Tokyo Bay.
Evolution Solar Corp. (PinkSheets:EVSO) today announced that the Company has received a purchase order from an international customer for 8.5MW of mono crystalline solar panels. The purchase order resulted from introductions made by Beacon, Ltd. a Bermuda based consulting firm recently engaged by the Company to assist with the introduction of its renewable energy solutions to the Bermuda market.
Adding cerium oxide to phosphate glass rather than the commonly used silicate glass may make glasses that block ultraviolet light and have increased radiation damage resistance while remaining colorless, according to Penn State researchers. These cerium-containing phosphate glasses have many commercial applications for use in windows, sunglasses and solar cells.
First Solar Inc. (Nasdaq: FSLR) today announced it has manufactured and shipped more than 1 gigawatt (GW) of its photovoltaic (PV) solar modules in 2009, becoming the first PV company to attain this production volume in a single year. One gigawatt of solar modules produces enough electricity to serve the needs of approximately 145,000 average American homes and saves roughly 1 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually.
Yingli Green Energy Holding Company Limited (NYSE: YGE) ("Yingli Green Energy" or the "Company"), one of the world's leading vertically integrated photovoltaic ("PV") product manufacturers, today announced it has signed a sales agreement ("the agreement") with IBC SOLAR AG ("IBC SOLAR"), one of the leading specialists in PV systems worldwide. Under the terms of the agreement, Yingli Green Energy has agreed to supply 130 MW of PV modules to IBC SOLAR from the first quarter through the fourth quarter of 2010.
Yingli Green Energy Holding Company Limited (NYSE: YGE) ("Yingli Green Energy" or the "Company"), one of the world's leading vertically integrated photovoltaic ("PV") product manufacturers, today announced that it has successfully commenced trial production and reached certain key technology and operating milestones at Fine Silicon Co., Ltd.
