February 25, the entire staff of the customer service center of Zalantun power supply branch organization, knowledge of distributed photovoltaic power generation and file training. Training is personally taught by the director of the call center, in accordance with the Mondon the unified power company requirements, focus on two views, a standardized "learning.

By the branch leadership attaches great importance to training, deputy general manager in charge of marketing efforts Xin Choi Friends personally participate in the study and in the learning process in their own experiences to share with you, that distributed photovoltaic power generation is specific PV modules, distributed generation systems for the direct conversion of solar panel energy into electrical energy.

It is a new power generation and has broad prospects for development and energy utilization way advocate the nearest power generation, the nearest grid nearest conversion nearby the principle, not only to improve the same scale photovoltaic power stations, also an effective solution to the problem of the loss of power boost and long-distance transport.

Relatively small output power, pollution, highlight the environmental benefits, the characteristics of the local power shortage to some extent alleviated. The requirement belongs powered by the branch, training team after the end of the training, further learning in-depth knowledge of distributed photovoltaic power generation, and to ensure that all staff effectively master the admissibility of business processes of distributed photovoltaic power generation projects.

In addition, in order to further strengthen the service work better and more comprehensive publicity distributed photovoltaic power generation projects, the branch also all distributed PV power generation related files are placed in the operating window, the convenience of our customers to understand, consulting.

Given the slow growth of the solar market in Europe, the emerging solar market has pool parties eyes.
Relevant agencies report predicts that in 2013, China and Japan accounted for 25% of the global share of the total market share. The United States and India continue to promote solar cell energy policy, expects PV installed capacity of the two countries continued to show growth.

Has been the policy of the U.S. solar market is booming incentive. Since the beginning of 2009, the U.S. federal government began to provide a tax credit of 30%, while the installed capacity of state governments have set targets to promote the development of large-scale solar system. It is worth noting that the California Solar Initiative (CSI) and solar renewable energy certificate (SREC) most effective in promoting PV installed capacity. The SREC The only problem is the imbalance between supply and demand, and prices are therefore dropped.

India, Jawaharlal Nehru, the first phase of the National solar charge controller Mission target has been reached. However, the second stage is facing a shortage of funds. Although the Indian government announced that it would start other programs to get the funds, and expected that the market continues to grow, but ultimately the growth rate is likely to be unable to reach the government expected.

In the past few years, the surge in PV installed capacity in Europe. However, due to the lower target, the vast majority of countries had reached before the deadline target, making the vast majority of European countries to cut the feed-in tariff rate to curb the growth of the market.

Austrian enterprises Activ Solar 29 MW PV power plant in Ukraine operational


Activ Solar, Austria PV project developers in Ukraine Nikolaev region 29.3MW the Voznesensk photovoltaic power plant put into operation a few days ago. Four rows of the photovoltaic power plant installed system with 121,176 polysilicon photovoltaic modules and 27 inverters, covering an area of ​​nearly 60 hectares.

Get rid of fossil energy photovoltaic who but myself


Faced with the gradual depletion of fossil energy and the increasing deterioration of the human environment, worldwide, people are gradually recognized that the energy supply must take the road of sustainable development, and gradually change the structure of energy consumption, gradually shift from traditional fossil energyrenewable energy. Each country has to face two serious challenges: climate change and energy security. Governments around the world are taking action to deal with the challenges, and to re-examine the energy development policies. Germany and Japan, was the first announced that it will shut down all nuclear power plants.

G8 summit in July 2008, eight countries will seek together to achieve the global greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 to reduce long-term goal of 50% with the other signatories of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. In 2011, the Chinese government announced its commitment under the Copenhagen Accord to the national unit of gross domestic product (GDP) of carbon dioxide emissions in 2020 than in 2005, a decrease of 40-45%, non-fossil energy accounts for the proportion of primary energy consumption increased to about 15%.

As a has a population of over 1.3 billion, an annual economic growth rate of about 8.2% of the world's second largest economy, China is now the world's largest consumers of energy and the second-largest emitter of carbon dioxide after the United States. Each additional unit of GDP wastewater discharge four times higher than in developed countries, the solid waste generated by the unit of industrial output was 10 times higher than in developed countries.

China's unit GDP energy consumption is seven times that of Japan, six times that of the United States, and even 2.8 times that of India. This shows that we also have a big gap in the quality of GDP. Because our GDP was hovering at a low level for a long time, and also a very low number of cases, the development is very difficult to take into account the quality of. These years, all over in order to increase GDP, some places do not speak science to the neglect of the merits of not paying attention to quality, as long as there is conducive to increase local GDP Yigai welcome, the more the better, and even the people control I put abandoned as I pick.

The Chinese photovoltaic 
solar panel overcapacity is the thanks they give. Mad pursuit of GDP and impulse we have to pay the cost of environmental pollution, high energy consumption consideration. Is this really our pursuit of happiness? This surface prosperity worthy for whom we pay labor? We bear this haze of air, dirty water, contaminated land legacy to their children and grandchildren? 

Before us is only one way: to change the structure of energy consumption, and gradually increase the proportion of renewable energy in the industrial economy, and eventually get rid of the dependence on fossil energy. Renewable energy, solar PV offers unique advantages and opportunities. solar cell energy is by far the largest energy source available on earth, it provides other renewable energy sources can not provide the benefits.

Solar cells to humans to create a across the primary and secondary energy, total source directly to the energy on Earth - the sun, the shortcut to obtain a copy of the energy: energy directly converted into electrical energy. PV is a new energy, most likely as a popular energy, its application flexibility, the breadth of the industry chain, employment covering force, water / nuclear / wind energy can not be compared.

Throughout the various forms of energy: the limited fossil energy resources, non-renewable, greenhouse gas emissions; hydropower, wind power is subject to geographical and seasonal joint unavoidable ecological environmental impact; nuclear power nuclear leak and the danger of nuclear contamination. There is no doubt that solar charge controller photovoltaic (PV) we humans ever found the ideal form of energy production: renewable, unlimited, non-polluting, at your fingertips. Human reason to ignore or even reject it?

2013 Trina solar energy profit status or poor


The loss is a solar module manufacturer Trina Solar (NYSE: TSL) 2012, the main theme, after the company released its fourth quarter and full year financial results prove that this year will also have a similar news. Component average selling price (ASP) decline negative growth in shipments and operating expenses cut, the fourth quarter and full year net loss of $ 87.2 million and $ 266.6 million respectively.

Therefore, Trina reported 2012 net income of $ 1.3 billion, compared with $ 2.05 billion in 2011, down 36.7%. The total shipments of 1.59GW, only a 5.4% increase compared to 2011 1.51GW. Trina flexible solar panels reported fourth quarter net income of $ 302.7 million, from the previous quarter increased by 1.6%, down 30.5% compared to the same period last year. The fourth quarter of 2012, gross profit margin was 1.9%, while profit before the target of low single digits.

Total shipments 414.5MW, 380.3MW increase compared to the third quarter of 2012 and the fourth quarter of 2011 424.9MW. As expected, the increase is due to the increase in demand from China, the phase for the installed capacity target before the government has improved due to the increase in utility-scale re-planning project activities. The Trina mppt charge controller Mr. Gao Jifan, Chairman and CEO, said: "Although shipments in the fourth quarter continued to improve, but our bottom line continue to be an imbalance between supply and demand and the adverse impact on pricing of some competitors challenging.

Under commercial conditions, we are committed to the profits of sales, inventory management, and continued to cut spending, so that we get a positive cash flow from operations. In the fourth quarter, we are still internal systems, global development progress, and is expected to usher in a grid-scale opportunities in China and the United States later this year. "However, shipments by the weakness of its traditional strong European market, compared with major competitors such as Yingli Green Energy late to enter the downstream projects department.

Trina Solar System business sector, including its new project development and equipment, has an evolutionary mode. This classic project development work is currently working on several large utility-scale project planning in China, while some other project components of the company's traditional sales functions combined into a "strategic" partner and the conventional project developers and EPC companycooperation.

Management to discuss the annual results on a conference call to reiterate that it has obtained the approval of the Gansu Provincial Development and Reform Commission, in Wuwei City, Gansu Province, the development of a 50MW grid power station project. However, the management also noted, Gansu Province, the planning of the project in the next four years up to 600MW ceiling, and still further planning 200MW project, their project the company has not yet officially announced.

Management on a conference call that, in the development of its project business, together with the expected new photovoltaic installation projects in the country, will result in 2013 new installed capacity of at least 10GW, Trina mppt solar charge controller will take this country with a growing market share. Management, under the power purchase agreement, the 100MW project in the United States in 2013, and reserve small development projects in the United Kingdom and Italy.

Trina Solar in recent months has been the leading project developers, such as GestampSolar prominent component supply agreement in various projects in Germany and South Africa, these agreements were reached in 2013. Module shipments, is expected in shipments in 2013, China will account for about 25%. This year the company's PV module shipments and systems delivery target 2.0GW to 2.1GW, which means assigned to about 500MW.

However, as many Chinese competitors, the 2012 project delay direct impact on the volume and revenue recognition, especially in 2012, trying to market a substantial increase in the amount of PV gigawatt. The shipments growth targets increased to 31.8% from 25.5% in 2012.

Private investment in the grid of the German-style solar admitted a problem


Trail of a sport utility vehicle speeding in the German state of Bavaria Straubing suburbs, the city of light and shadow disappeared in the vision. The car all the way forward line through one and a vast farmland, winter Germany's sun is not too abundant.

Around a pond, the German car Puke De (Klaus Burkart) unable to bear their own joy, pointing to the front 500 meters: that is my parents' house. "The house is, and that solar panels on the roof, but I am." Puke De said. At first glance, the two large roof dense black PV inverter shop.
In Germany, almost every private cabanas roof covered with solar power light board, issued by the electric or homegrown, or the Internet to buy the electric company.

"Those of us ordinary people on the investment in solar power generation accounted for about 50% of the total investment of solar power in Germany." Puke De slight smile, come up with one when he made the investment in solar research notes, start with his right.

Germany 2004 "Renewable Energy Law" modifications gave him a great deal of confidence, mainly because of high subsidies and ensure that such subsidies are valid 20 years. Subsidies tasted the sweetness of the German, they started to install solar power installations, the original farm into a solar power plant, causing pressure to the German power grid, and the German government also felt the financial pressure brought about by the subsidies.

"Since 2009, the law constantly modifying subsidies decline and electric issued only with investors before 2009 and will not be affected." Puke De felt very lucky.Germany solar grid tie inverter private investment Puke De worked at a fuel service company in Europe, the Netherlands due to work because living in Germany's neighbors.

In 2004, Germany was just great efforts to develop wind power, solar power accounts for only a small fraction of the German power grid, but since then the German government revised the "Renewable Energy Law, enacted in 2000 (Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz), start encourage private installation of solar power installations.

"Later, I will own research for two years." Po sip a Minzui to say, many solar manufacturers will provide free courses for learning the solar power, because you must make it clear what kind of roof for including roof angle and azimuth .

After two years of research, Puke De eventually in 2007 started to invest in solar energy, on the roof of his parents installed solar controller total capacity 45KWH, a total investment of 180,000 euros, 10,000 euros of capital, bank loans of € 170,000. Repayment by selling electricity in 18 years to pay off, and every year since then is the net profit. "But now every year in addition to the bank repayment, every year I will be remaining approximately € 5,000." Po said.

In this case, the new German network peak output power of solar installations reached 1.1 million kilowatts, an increase of nearly 30% compared with 2006.According to the introduction of the Po, then in 2007 the German market and photovoltaic products manufacturer in China, most of the private market welcomed the Japanese brand.

With the person to eat crab tasted the sweetness of solar power, more and more private use of their roofs or windows started to invest in solar power. "Some people have even started to farm rented farmers roof, install solar panels on its roof." Puke De quipped, "It is as the benefits of farmers can rely on their roof rent collection."

Tebian electrician Kazakhstan's first photovoltaic power plant run stability

Improve the accuracy and validity of HCPV solar tracker performance


The solar tracker is used to keep the solar panels at any time of the sun, so that the light of the sun at all vertical exposure to solar panels power plant. The tracker is divided into two kinds of single-axis tracker and dual-axis trackers.

Uniaxial type suitable for relatively low Si solar cell on tracking accuracy requirements or trough concentrating system, as applied to the roof of the system, its direction of development tends to be small and lightweight. Biaxial apply to high tracking accuracy requirements concentrator small solar panels power generation system, the tracking accuracy of up to 0.1 °, mainly used in large-scale power stations, to medium-sized, solid, high-aspect of development.

Solar tracker main sensor tracking, classification according to the tracking method to calculate the the sun trajectory tracking and hybrid tracking. Sensor tracking method using photoelectric sensors to detect the degree of deviation of the sunlight and the battery plate normal feedback tracking, the tracking accuracy of 0.1 °, but affected by the weather.

Sun trajectory tracking method is based on the actual trajectory of the sun at a predetermined program to adjust the tracking device and this tracking method can weather real-time tracking, the tracking accuracy of about 0.5 °. The hybrid combines the advantages of both, in good weather sensor tracking to ensure tracking accuracy; tracking method by sensor tracking to bad weather conditions, depending on the date of the trajectory tracking. According to statistics, HCPV system failure 90% from the tracker fails.

From a technical perspective, the main way to reduce the cost of photovoltaic cells 5: First, absorption through the full spectrum further improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the cell chip, the second is reused to reduce the chip manufacturing costs through the substrate, three, increase the system's condensermagnification and improve the optical efficiency of the entire assembly, are light and heat utilization, five is used to significantly reduce the cost of the condenser system.

From the market level, concentrating 
solar panel price photovoltaic technology to further mature and further expand the scale of production, its costs can be lower than the crystalline silicon and thin film batteries is expected within the next few years. To each kWh to 0.1 U.S. dollar, on the requirements of the installed system costs from $ 5 to 8 / watt down to $ 2 / W chip cost from 8 to 10 U.S. dollars / square cm to 3 to 5 USD / square centimeter. To achieve this goal, there is no certain industrial scale is not possible, which requires more corporate involvement. 

Major development companies in the world from the chip HCPV power generation system of the whole industry chain vertical integration the U.S. Solfocus company, Amonix, Emcore, Germany Concentrix (now Soitec acquisition) and so on. These companies are standing on the the HCPV technology research and development the forefront, have their own independent system design, difficult to participate in making other enterprises, improve the technical threshold to a certain extent, hindered industrial development.

Highly considered the bigger and stronger the British Wotai from the industry has been committed to the technical threshold obliterated by high power concentrating solar panel manufacturers power technology in order to help more companies to successfully enter the industry. The company's main products are components of the receiver, the core components of the photovoltaic modules.

These receiver components for many enterprises do HCPV PV module development and system integration, paving the way into the HCPV industry.Meanwhile, we also do not have any experience in the design of enterprise PV module reference design to accelerate progress in the development of these enterprises.

High power concentrator photovoltaic cells gradually become the new focus of the field of solar energy


After 30 years of development, the high-power concentrating photovoltaic (HCPV) batteries as the third generation of solar power technology is becoming a new focus of the field of solar energy, causing the industry enterprises in the chase. In good sunlight several European countries, has passed the preferential tariff law and multijunction decline in the popularity and cost of solar cells with 40% conversion efficiency III-V semiconductors, high power concentrating photovoltaic cell market to enter period of rapid growth.

Compared with previous generations battery, HCPV using multi-junction GaAs cell, having a broad spectrum absorption, high conversion efficiency, good temperature characteristics, low energy consumption, manufacturing process, etc., so that it can be a high temperature environment of the high power focusing still maintained in a high 
solar panel photoelectric conversion efficiency. Higher threshold of high power concentrating photovoltaic system technology and industry span, covering semiconductor materials and process manufacturing, semiconductor packaging, optical design, automation and control, mechanical design and manufacturing, metal processing and other fields. 

HCPV industry products including multi-junction solar cell epitaxial material, the photoelectric converter chip, and the light receiver assembly, condenser, photovoltaic modules, biaxially tracker. Compared with the silicon-based material, based on a group III-V semiconductor multijunction solar cell having the highest photoelectric conversion efficiency, and substantially higher than about 50% of the silicon solar cell.

Group III-V semiconductor having a high temperature characteristics much higher than silicon, and still has a high photoelectric conversion efficiency in the high illuminance and thus can use the high-power converging technologies, which means to produce the same amount of electricity requires little sun Battery chip. A unique aspect of the multi-junction technology is material - can choose a combination of different materials so that their absorption spectra and the sunlight spectrum close to the same the relatively crystalline silicon, which is a huge advantage.

To almost limit (25%) of the conversion efficiency of the latter, while the multi-junction theoretical conversion efficiency of the device is up to 68%. Is currently used most three pn junction is formed by germanium, gallium arsenide, gallium indium phosphide, three kinds of different semiconductor materials, in this multi-junction solar charge controller  not only the lattice constants of these three kinds of material substantially match, and each a semiconductor material having different band gap, respectively absorb the different bands of the sunlight spectrum, which can be full spectral absorption of sunlight.

The concentrating solar cell chip was encapsulated into the light receiver, the receiver package to protect the solar cell, converging light homogenizing the same time play the role of cooling. The receiver assembly further comprises a bypass diode and the lead terminals. Chip reflow welding process and eutectic solder, the two most important difference is that the former uses flux welding, need to be cleaned to remove flux residue after soldering, the eutectic solder flux solder lug.

Gold band bonded to the chip and peripheral circuit connected in order to export electricity from the chip is required. The receiver component test indicators, including the empty rate and electrical performance tests, empty rate is a standard test welding is good or not. Electrical properties, the photoelectric conversion rate of 5.5mm × 5.5mm receiver components in sunlight of 500 times as high as 38.5% or more.

In actual use, also need the receiver assembly and the secondary optics, the radiator package together to form a complete receiver. Secondary optics can reduce the requirement of the high accuracy of the tracker, and more evenly through the Fresnel lens focused spot irradiation to the battery on the chip.

Ghana Government is actively promoting the use of solar energy


Recently, the Government of Ghana has been actively promoting the use of new energy to the residents of rural areas, the Government of Ghana Ghana Times reported issued 200,000 sets of solar lights, lighting in remote rural areas to solve the problem. Ghana there are more than 20% of the region is not energized, the people of these areas use kerosene lighting, the Government of Ghana to implement a 52% price subsidy on kerosene annual subsidy spending more than 40 million Ghanaian Cedi (about $ 21 million). The Ghana Government plans coverage of more than 80% of electricity by the end of this year, some of the remote villages and islands will give priority to the use of solar energy, thereby reducing the use of kerosene, reducing government subsidies expenditure.

Foreign media said, the latest research shows that solar cell dispute in Central Europe to impose punitive tariffs on Chinese manufacturers may eliminate a large number of jobs. German "Handelsblatt", February 19, according to a research report of Switzerland forecast Institute released in Brussels on the 19th, the punitive tariffs are different, only Germany could in the three years up to a decrease of 84,700 jobs in Germany will therefore become Europe the most severely affected countries.

Studies suggest that solar panel prices will slash demand, installed capacity and maintenance requirements will be reduced. Although punitive tariffs will give the European solar equipment manufacturers a competitive advantage, but the resulting jobs is only one fifth of the jobs lost in other areas.

The Principal of the study is "cheap Solar Alliance, the coalition of organizations from the field of solar charge controller energy production and service enterprises, the objective is to oppose trade protectionism measures in the solar market.

Reported that since 2012, the United States imposed punitive tariffs on solar products imported from China. In September 2012, the European Commission accepted the complaint EU support solar Organization of the Federation of European solar enterprise, and is considering whether to impose punitive tariffs on Chinese. The industry association accused competitors engage in price dumping from China and enjoy illegal subsidies.

In 2012, China's exports to the EU 21 billion euros worth of solar panels and other accessories. Devastated German solar energy companies considered their present the troubled main reason is the so-called cheap competition from China.
Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the National Energy Board announced on New Year's Eve 2012 annuity cheap solar panels demonstration project directory (second batch), Sunshine earth led to the construction of the Southampton sun photovoltaic power generation system demonstration projects in the list. This project will be gathering in Southampton bathroom plumbing business park, for these enterprises to install a total installed capacity of 20MW of rooftop solar photovoltaic power generation system.

Deluxe Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd., chairman Lin Wen opinion, since the experience "double reverse", originally in the industry upstream silicon material purification and polycrystalline silicon wafer manufacturing sector competition is most intense, the situation now appears in the terminal market competition.

Not only enterprises in Fujian, now the national PV industry rise BIPV, photovoltaic power station construction surge. Original market blocked companies from manufacturing terminal is also compelling. "Lin Wen opinion, this large-scale applications of distributed photovoltaic power generation demonstration area project and Golden Sun demonstration project reporting hot. 

EU plans to China to the implementation of photovoltaic products double reverse retroactive period


After the United States, the European Union began brewing the China PV products double anti increase retroactive period, Prior to the retroactive principle is very rare in China-EU trade war. On February 21, the Ministry of Justice of Nanjing, a photovoltaic enterprises who briefed reporters, the European Commission is being discussed by the EU Customs registration into the customs of the Chinese PV module (silicon wafers, solar cells and components) from March, which prepare for the retroactive anti-dumping duties, likely from March 8 to start registration. "

February 18, 20, two days, the European Commission held two hearings that China PV anti-dumping cases. In this hearing, the prosecution German solar panel World EU ProSun (European Photovoltaic manufacturers Union), including Yingli Green Energy, Trina, Artes sun PV companies in China and support China's European colleagues are participating.

Two hearings is to review the legality of the anti-dumping case while EU ProSun the request of the Chinese photovoltaic products imported into the EU before the end of February to register, and thus to add retroactive tariff pave the way for the future. "The Ministry of Justice said. The EU ProSun think the EU anti'll eventually make the trip, the Chinese PV products will increase exports to Europe in the preliminary June.

The data show that in 2011 China the European Photovoltaic exports up to $ 20.4 billion, directly employed population of over 30 million people. If the EU passed Chinese PV "dual" case, it will become the largest in the history of China and the EU trade disputes.

July 24, 2012, EU ProSun submitted to the European Commission anti-dumping lawsuits. Sept. 6, the European Union officially announced that it will be crystal silicon components, battery, silicon solar cell products imported from China, including anti-dumping investigation.

Earlier, Solar World U.S. subsidiary has successfully brought in the United States in October last year for Chinese enterprises countervailing anti-dumping investigation, which led directly to the U.S. Department of Commerce to impose high tariffs of 30% to 250% in this year's final ruling on China PV .

Talk about steady growth, where all of a sudden find photovoltaic industry $ 20 billion export?, Of which there are over 100 billion from Jiangsu Province, Jiangsu Province is very great importance. "Artes sun Qu Xiaohua, chairman, told reporters.
Photovoltaic Industry Association of Jiangsu Province, office main Ren Fanguo is frankly far, last year, the statistics of the number of PV companies in Jiangsu probably nearly a thousand, a workforce of about 170,000.

"In fact, most European PV companies the the double reverse action against China photovoltaic products. Example, similar to the double reverse and the United States, this appeal in addition to Solar World, no other European companies out front chime, even when we competitors, Europe's largest photovoltaic company Q-Cell also launched a similar move. "Qu Xiaohua expressed frustration.

Support Chinese enterprises AFASE (EU parity solar Union) 63 corporate members participating in the hearing. AFASE speech emphasized that China tremendous negative impact on earnings will most EU PV companies and double reverse this effect, including employment, to delay the pace of implementation of parity, the market is shrinking.

Independent international economic consulting firm the Prognos near Adams published a report, The report is based on hypothetical tariff of 20%, 35% and 60%, on the case of the trade within the European Union as a whole "jobs" and "economic value added" the impact of the quantitative evaluation.

Executives feeling of a JinkoSolar (NYSE: JKS), by the end of January, its annual sales targets have been completed in half. Not just JinkoSolar fourth quarter of 2012, the domestic photovoltaic module shipments soared reached 11GW, a record high, including Yingli, Artes, Sunergy listed companies in the United States also will usher in a beautiful four seasons reported.

February 20, Solarbuzz senior analyst Lim Rui said that the European market to pick up, to be due to market demand growth in the United States and Japan, the domestic market expansion 
solar panel PV Market warming, "and at the same time in the past year, many small and medium-sized photovoltaic enterprises discontinued or reduced, making the problem of excess production capacity is part of the solution ". 

While shipments to new high, the domestic market accounts receivable problems again placed in front of the photovoltaic business. Along with the rapid growth of China's PV market, from investors to EPC manufacturers, to suppliers of components and auxiliary materials, "triangular debts" PV companies have not been able to sort out.

Solar chairman Wang Xinghua frankly, this year, the domestic photovoltaic applications market compared to 2012 will be doubled to grow, but the company has been are more cautious, "because we have been more concerned about the back section of the domestic projects", and therefore can still the main international markets.

"We have to see some second-hand equipment is brand new or have not started production long
According to the data provided by the solar cell professional research institutions Solarbuzz PV installed capacity in 2012 is about 4.5GW, an increase of 55.7% compared to 2011's 2.89GW become the major powers of the world's second largest PV installed in Germany.

In Lian Rui seems, except for the new projects, together with the 2012 projects, the installed capacity of China's domestic PV market in 2013 will be a new high. Many projects not started in 2012 is that time a number of projects on the fourth quarter of the year tenor approval; same time the end of 2012, module prices fell by nearly 50% compared to the beginning of the year, taking into account the photovoltaic electricity subsidies has not lowered, some companies will choose 2013 and then started at the beginning of the year, and thus enhance the project's financial yield.

In the national energy work conference on January 9, the National Energy Board has established the goal of this year, China installed 10GW of photovoltaic power generation. The 10GW target, compared to 2012's 4.5GW again doubled. "We are basically not bid, because that would be the price bayonet.

A JinkoSolar sales person said, the company mainly to establish a strategic alliance with the five major 
solar charge controller power groups and local state-owned enterprises, thus driving the sales of components, "In the past, sales of the domestic market is basically blank, but in the domestic market in 2012 shipments of hundreds of MW of shipments. " 

The reporter was informed that January, Suntech, Hareon is five major PV companies in Jiangsu domestic sales of 2.33 billion yuan, a growth of 37%, accounting for 76% of the month's total sales chain raise four percentage points.
Oriental Sunrise (300118.SZ) said in the announcement on February 7, companies in energy-saving solar technology (Zhenjiang) Co., Ltd. signed a contract for the sale of solar modules, with a contract value of 408 million yuan in total.

The Xinjiang Hejing County photovoltaic enterprises autonomous regions "Lutiao,"


And static, February 21 Recently, the reporter learned from the Xinjiang Hejing County Development and Reform Commission, a photovoltaic power plant, Changzhou Yixin 20MWp project to obtain the "flagging" of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Development and Reform Commission, agreed to carry out preparatory work. As of now, Hejing County has five PV companies obtain autonomous regional "Lutiao.

It is understood, Hejing County is located in central Xinjiang, Bayingolin Mongol Autonomous Prefecture, northwest region, northwest of the Yanqi Basin, the climate is temperate continental climate, sufficient sunlight, the annual number of sunshine hours is 3,000 hours or more, the annual global solar panels radiation reached 6000 MJ / m 2 or more, the conditions are very favorable development of photovoltaic power generation.

The second five years, the state has great support of new energy projects, many PV companies targeting the western geographical advantage, to increase the investment and construction of photovoltaic power plants, Hejing County take advantage of the unique geographical advantage, to connect the PV power station investment enterprises, there have been 10 Yujia Guang-volt power station Hejing enterprises to invest and research,

Currently, there are Hejing Asahi Dual buy solar panels Energy Technology Co., Ltd., SUNTIEN Co., Jintan ZhengXin PV Electronics Co., Ltd., Guodian Xinjiang Kaidu River Hydropower Development Co., Ltd., Changzhou Yixin New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. 5 Autonomous Region Development and Reform Commission Lutiao home photovoltaic power plant enterprise, plans to invest 1.369 billion yuan to build 130MWp PV power plant projects, and plans to start construction this year. At the same time, another three photovoltaic power plant companies have been signed to complete the investment agreement, and actively fight to the Autonomous Region Development and Reform Commission approved the project procedures, and another two photovoltaic power plant business is under negotiation.

Lu Jing, Hejing County Development and Reform Commission, said: "Accelerating PV grid power generation projects, both to meet the electricity demand of the economic and social development, but also the implementation of energy saving energy development policy, and static County plans to use for 2-3 years Hejing County to build the Nanjiang largest photovoltaic power base.

Yesterday, the reporter learned from the meeting of the province's economy running TV, for the completion of the province's energy efficiency goals, this year will be the introduction of the "solar industrial thermal system of financial subsidies for this year in the industrial sector to promote one million square meters of solar collectors save standard coal 18 million tons.

In February 2012, the Shandong Provincial Commission by letter, the Department of Finance jointly issued a notice, the reward the solar industrial boilers as a 2012 major energy-saving technology industry, the single most important award of the project up to 100 million. According to the estimates, the country boiler 500,000 if all the flexible solar panels boiler replacement market capacity will reach 1.32 trillion yuan.
In fact, the current central rate of acquisition of the power station is also extremely demanding. In 2012, a power station in Xinjiang because the grid is not in accordance with the contract on December 31, a central enterprises will as a pretext for refusal to acquire the station, the construction the investment life habitat of the power station hit in the hands.

"International trade has China Export & Credit Insurance Corporation (hereinafter referred to as Sinosure) protection, so little back section," said Wang Xinghua, more stringent rules of international trade, and more important, "In simple terms, the domestic market integrity than international. "

"China is a closed market, in fact, the player is relatively fixed, most of the power enterprises in the top five four small and local state-owned enterprises, we basically only doing business with them." Above JinkoSolar sales person said the company in the domestic account of no more than 30 days, "and the domestic property rights there, the customer does not pay, we put the components moved back here, and abroad can do?" In addition, bad debt problems abroad, Sinosure also lost a lot last year.

Golmud, Qinghai fastest national power station construction, for example, in the new grid 583MW power plant in 2011, 5 generation Group companies occupy 63%, while only 12.5%
​​of private enterprises.

The aforementioned solar company executives said, as the debt as a means to offset the domestic photovoltaic enterprise applications practice of barter, to offset the risk of bad debts. "For example, we do business with TBEA, we are working with them to build power plants, they buy our components, we use their inverter, and then offset receivable on, do not need to be paid in cash."

Cognex technology to optimize the production of thin-film solar


JENO PTIK-VOTANTM Solas100/200 is used to draw a pattern on the thin film solar modules using a laser and / or needles in each of the processing step (P1, P2, and P3). Standard machine model contains six industrial camera and Cognex VisionPro? Vision software can be used to calibrate the processing tools, to determine the state of wear, and check the correct processing of solar module.

Settings for each module, processing and follow-up of the detection process only takes 60 seconds, which enables manufacturers able to obtain a yield advantage in the fierce competition in the sustainable energy market. Photosensitive semiconductor-based thin-film technology is based on a glass substrate a vapor deposition or sputtering, less energy and materials generally used, and lower production costs compared to silicon solar cells.

Manufacturers lower production costs in the pricing initiative, Germany has reduced incentives for solar charge controller products. Modern thin film solar cell by a metal layer, a semiconductor layer and a transparent conductive oxide layer.

In the first processing step, VOTANSolas100 drawing pattern in the bottom layer using a multi-beam laser, referred to as P1. CIS / CIGS modules with mechanical tools underlying the above two layers, called P2 and P3. The the integrated gilling device can be up to 1.5 m / s speed accurately diagram drawn on the surface.

In the process, each needle is a separate operation and positioning system according to the battery size quickly adjust and accurately respond to changes in demand. The automated needle adjustment method can minimize set-up time and increase production.

The visual system in a matter of seconds to record the actual position of the tool. At the same time there will be another three camera measurement automatically feed solar cell P1 trajectory. The camera can be provided to automatically adjust the three reference points, and the VisionPro data used to adjust the machine coordinate system and corrective tool path can also be provided according to the orientation of the P1 structure.

The goal of the process is to minimize the P1 structure relative to the dislocation of the P2 and P3 layer, thereby improving the cell efficiency. And then deal with the tools to continue drawing a positioning accuracy of 5μm layer of P2 and P3. In the final detection step, the other two cameras again careful examination of the solar module, and by the VisionPro vision software detection quality, find minor damage, broken glass, and the layer between the particles may occur separated.

You can easily machine with VisionPro vision software quick integration into complex production lines. The software will ignore irrelevant differences on the surface of the solar panel, to focus on the important features of the relationship between product quality. The world leader in visual software with a variety of tools, without any complicated pre-processing the image, thereby increasing the speed of application development and reduce the cost of the product life cycle.

SolarX Energy photothermal photovoltaic hybrid system will be introduced


The before, headquartered in New York City, USA SolarX Energy announced the launch of the photothermal photovoltaic hybrid systems SolarX Hybrid system combined solar thermal power technology and photovoltaic manufacturing.

SolarX Energy, SolarX Hybrid containing SolarX Energy Patent SolarX-164 trough collector solar modules. Sun Hound of our patent product tracking device to locate the position of the solar. System assembly of solar panels capable of generating enough power to support the tracking motors, surplus electricity can be used elsewhere or feedback to the grid.

"As early as five or six years ago, I foresee console will inevitably saturated retail market, began to shift the focus of the market development of mppt charge controller water heating projects, but the past few years large enterprises begin to force engineering market, home machine market Price reshuffle war replica. Zhangyun Jun said, starting in 2011, he decided to become a sales-oriented enterprises in transition from manufacturing enterprises, no longer self-made water heater products.

With social connections that Zhang Yunjun accumulated 18 years of experience in the solar water heater market, only more than 10 employees in its five kiosks Jiaozi water heater factory, mainly engaged in the marketing of the hot water works, and solar hot water project design and construction, and other relevant qualifications.

Since 2012, with the first national "energy-saving" project given sales subsidize energy-saving air source heat pump water heater, flexible solar panels hot water project market soon form a larger impact. The Zhang Yunjun introduction, "For many companies, the air can be lower than the purchase cost of solar energy installation site.

A 50-room budget hotel, if you select a solar water heater cost $ 80,000, the air can only take 30,000 yuan. But air at low temperature in northern use is limited, so we can only promote solar and air to the hot water energy solutions to reduce this impact. '

Not just Zhang Yunjun and his Wuting, Jiaozi, even the Emperor Ming, brilliant, Sunshine, and Sang Le, Tsinghua sun, a large number of industries, including large enterprises are faced with how to get rid of dependence on the rural market. " transformation predicament. Last year, the three companies before IPO or dismissed or voluntary withdrawal.

18 years of industry experience, Zhang Yunjun the short term and do not want to give up in the development of the solar cell thermal industry. For the 2013 competition in the market has been opened, Zhang Yunjun frankly, "the situation is not optimistic, but new opportunities have emerged, the key to the development of the entire solar thermal industry, or To standardize and improve government policies, regulations, standards and other means, at the same time but also to reverse and change the understanding of the real estate developers and Architectural Design Institute of the solar hot water system. "

February 17, Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province, an energy company workers in the export inspection of solar photovoltaic products. According to the site of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Deutsche Bank recently released a report, said the field of solar power in the world, China will surpass Germany to become the market leader. Deutsche Bank expects China's solar power generation capacity will be doubled this year, emerged as the world's largest solar market.

Lease solar photovoltaic new opportunities


Despite the few people able to resist the temptation of the low cost of living, but the use of more energy-efficient residential solar system, the vast majority of families have chosen to give up. The reason mainly lies in the high upfront investment - the cost to install a residential solar system, equivalent to the purchase of a new car.

The good news is that, as consumers have come to accept the car rental, residential solar systems market also showed the same trend: the households receiving lease Photovoltaic Panels system is gradually increasing. According to the American Solar Energy Industry Association data show that, in 2011, the installed capacity of the nation's residential solar systems compared with 2010 increased by 11%, mainly from growth in the third-party owners, and that the rental market.

The OneRoof Energy Company is the practitioner of this new trend. This company is located in San Diego to households rent their own solar system: the full amount to buy the system, you need to spend $ 3-4 million, but the company signed a lease contract with tenants can its installation, households only need to pay a small (even without pay) upfront capital, pay monthly lease charges can be. According to the OneRoof company president and CEO David Field (DavidField), OneRoof users monthly savings of 15% to 25% of the electricity bill.

's New SolarSelect leasing program is the introduction of market need more wisdom financing initiatives. Raise working capital, OneRoof also need to create a tax equity financing facility (taxequityfund) for their own to cover the upfront capital required by the lease plan, taking full advantage of some of the policy advantages, such as enjoyment of the investment tax credit (investmenttaxcredit) this special tax relief measures for investment in solar controller power projects company.

Some investors have seen the hope in this market. In September 2011, owned by South Korean companies Hanwha Group (HanwhaGroup), Han Huaguo International, Inc. (HanwhaInternational) OneRoof the sum of $ 50 million investment.In March this year, Boston clean energy technology investment company the black coral capital (BlackCoralCapital) to its capital injection of $ 3,000,000. Black Coral Capital vice president Ligier Gag (NikhilGarg) said the OneRoof company is very careful and complex financing initiatives to make it a team was impressed.

Rumsfeld hoped to complete the round of financing before the end of the year, the goal is to receive a $ 100 million tax equity financing fund, and the sum of $ 20 million in operational funds. OneRoof taken prudent expansion strategy. Rumsfeld said, this is mainly due to the nation's only less than 10 states to meet its development conditions - sunshine, high tariffs, the relatively favorable market rules and local government stimulus, such as tax-privileged or installation fee rebate these are OneRoof toward profitability necessary conditions.

But with the continued low prices of the solar panel system products, as well as norms and favorable policy environment more, this situation will improve. Since the start SolarSelect leasing program in October 2011, OneRoof business from California expanded to Hawaii, also plans to Arizona, Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York expansion.

Today, the company's solar system has been installed hundreds of sets. Rumsfeld revealed that the company is on track to be completed in 2012, the 4000 system installation, the total value will reach $ 120 million. "People want to own the roof with a solar system, but at a higher price to buy, install and maintain the solar system has forced them faltering," Rumsfeld said, "We offer a more compared to serving households good solution. "

Zhejiang photovoltaic enterprise multi-faceted breakthrough seek breaking


Although the U.S. Department of Commerce announced photovoltaic double reverse "the final results and there are all kinds of unfair, but PV enterprises in Zhejiang has not died down. The reporter delighted to discover PV enterprises in Zhejiang are actively cope with the dilemma, explore the method of breaking up, seeking industrial development.

For more than 300 Zhejiang photovoltaic enterprises, the mppt charge controller industry is still full of charm, imagination now all the predicament for the healthy development of the industry in the next. How's collapse is the key. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce's final determination, if US-bound components used in solar cell origin for areas outside the Chinese mainland, it will not impose anti-dumping and countervailing duties. The Chint new energy development company chose to the procurement abroad Cell circumvent the U.S. policy of "dual", although compared with last year's total exports declined, but the third quarter, or more than 10 megawatts of exports.

Yuhui Solar has subsidiaries in the United States through the purchase wafers from domestic use of outside foundry "in this way, to produce its own brand of components to accelerate into the U.S. 
flexible solar panels PV market. "In case of the European Union 'double reverse', we will take the same way to bypass the barriers." ReneSola vice president En told reporters. 

October 8, the EU announced anti-dumping of Chinese enterprises involved in the list which the Jinhua photovoltaic enterprises "boss" Dongyang DMEGC ranked.Under tremendous pressure to survive, the company has prepared hundreds of millions of attorneys' fees, responding to the decision to the European Court to fight a lawsuit.

€ 300 one hour attorneys' fees, the respondent form and nature of the company, the sales price, the financial statements, net profit, the nature of the land and other data, add up covered with a desk. "Said the import business DMEGC Minister Lu Ligangbefore October 25, the East magnetic forms and information will be submitted to the European Court of Justice, through a variety of methods such as air transport, Fax, although the odds are not high, but also effort, on behalf of the Chinese enterprises.

Addition to "Quxianjiuguo" and the head-on confrontation, many PV companies take advantage of the industry reshuffle, independent innovation, improve value-added products, focusing on product differentiation, jumped out of the vicious circle of price competition of homogeneous products, a firm foothold in the rain.

Backplane of crystalline home solar panels with high fluoride together with independent intellectual property rights, Hangzhou United Technologies AG of new material, not only for PV modules in the enterprise in the winter reduces production costs, also won the market for themselves. Doubling the company's sales this year than last year.

Professional to do the solar PV stent Hangzhou
Sheng Solar Energy Technology Co., Ltd., sales this year are expected to reach 400 million yuan, up 300% over last year. The same 10-megawatt power station, the bracket installation costs than traditional reduced by 40%, a 70% reduction in working hours. "Says Marketing Director Wang Donglin.

The Zhejiang Province photovoltaic industry technology innovation strategic alliance Secretary-General Zhao Yonghong always insisted, the future PV competitiveness of enterprises will come from more specialized, the operation of the fine, the lack of core technology, only to earn processing fees of price competition is difficult to sustain.

In addition, many PV companies in Zhejiang regarded expand the market as the primary means of response to the crisis. Photovoltaic Technology Co., Ltd. of Zhejiang Xinshun 2010, 90% of PV products exported to the EU last year, in the case of the debt crisis in order to reduce Xinshun timely steering Currently, 60% of the company's products have been exported to Japan, Thailand, IndiaAfrica and other places.

Wenzhou high-energy Co., Ltd. is a "novice" one last year transferred to the photovoltaic industry, PV-powered devices to market a portable family flagship high-end consumer market in the United States to close the door to the European market Fengyuyulai The sales outlook is not optimistic. Therefore, the high-energy are preparing for the launch of a simple system of a more affordable price and convenient to enter Africa, the Middle East and other emerging markets.

Lost market prone, difficult to capture the market. The vast majority of Zhejiang PV companies believe that trade remedy measures are temporary, just survive, always keep one finally see the bright.

A photovoltaic project in Gansu Axel formal grid


A time when the Spring Festival, the photovoltaic power generation project in Aksai County news came Chint a 10 MW PV project formal grid.

It is understood that the project is located in the photoelectric industrial park, Aksai County Industrial Park, a total investment of 140 million yuan, covers an area of
​​260,000 square meters, started construction in November 2011. Photoelectric industrial park where the project Aksai County planning area of ​​50 square kilometers and a planned installed capacity of 1 million kilowatts,

2012, Axel County invested 80 million yuan, to build the road network structure based "three vertical and three horizontal" Park "photoelectric Avenue", and gradually supporting the construction of water, electricity, roads, communications, flood control, green and other public services and facilities for the development of the optoelectronics industry park to create a good infrastructure conditions.Currently, three companies of the Zhejiang Chint Technology Co., Ltd., can Samp Technology Co., Ltd., front electric energy companies have settled in the park, the total installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation of 130 MW.

Fu-energy mppt solar charge controller stakeholders and Yang Feng said, and not too high a risk to set up factories in Africa. African PV market has just started to weak purchasing power, the market environment is relatively unstable, can be overcome.

In fact, not only in South Africa, the policy changes in many African countries.Ethiopia before the development of solar energy scheme, government enthusiasm is also high, but then postponed because of funding problems related plan.

Shandong PV companies become more cautious in the African market. Ding Wenlei purchasing department Marino PV Herald reporter, said the company has been aware of the potential of the African market, just beginning to Africa layout.

Marino 
flexible solar panels PV market is still concentrated in Europe, the Americas, as well as more lively in recent years in the Middle East and Asia-Pacific. African market is not included in the strategic planning of the company in 2013, focuses on the development of the marketing area. Europe and the United States is still the focus area, the Asia-Pacific region will force the three core markets of Australia, Japan, Thailand, the Middle East will be leveraging existing customer resources, joint construction of photovoltaic power plants. 

Li earlier interview, Marino 
mppt charge controller PV for African business, also said there was no plans to build factories in Africa, the initial investment will be relatively small, slowly bigger as the business development. Sales in Africa mainly simple and practical products, such as daily necessities such as flashlights, camping lamps, low price, belonging to the African market can bear. Of course, the product margins are relatively low, generally around 10%. 

In fact, in the light and heat, walking on two legs of the photovoltaic field Linuo Group, the comparative advantage in Africa seems to be more significant. Regardless of the government tender, just one million solar water heaters in South Africa and 300,000 private rooftop market for photovoltaic and solar thermal, are a large cake.

PV companies in South Africa


Not only BYD January of this year, Paul Weinan non-engineering department commenced the construction of the 94.5 MW in South Africa De Aar PV ground power station project, the construction period will last one year; same month, Trina teamed Spanish Gestamp, as the two of South Africa's Northern Cape Province large total installed capacity of 30 megawatts of solar cell photovoltaic power plants to the formation of the third quarter of this year, will be delivered; Prior to this, Suntech also signed an agreement with South Africa will build the capacity of 100 megawatts of solar power plants, total investment is expected to reach 350000000-400000000 U.S. dollars.

It is understood that the Chinese-funded PV companies involved in solar PV projects in Africa are generally European companies led project development, and then look for the Chinese photovoltaic solar module to form a production plant. Domestic PV companies and not independent bid.

The threshold is not high, does not mean that the threshold does not. Yang Feng said, local production in South Africa, will have an advantage in the tender of the project, but the price disadvantage than domestic product. Currently, the quickest PV companies Jingke rumors they have rented in South Africa plant upcoming preparations for production. However, Yang Feng, Jingke action too early points.

"BYD also plans to set up a module factory, but will wait until 6-7 months of this year," Yang Feng explained, mainly because the South African government tender schedule dragged on, and did not settle down, recently off than originally planned for six months. And bidding policies may also have new changes still need further observation, waiting for the policy and market environment tend uncertain Otherwise, "Once the the tender policy advantages can not make up for the price disadvantage, it is really not sell the."

Yang Feng told the Herald reporter, BYD hopes to get as much share the one hand, the government tender piece, strive for 100 megawatts per year, while actively expanding private rooftop photovoltaic market. He expects that, after 2035, the South African private rooftop market scale reached 300 trillion -500 MW.

According to the South African government departments the green economy Agreement signed in 2014, South Africa will be in the private residential installation of one million charge controller water heaters; renewable energy utilization will reach 3725 MW by 2016, South Africa; 2020, residential, commercial and industrial building roof to install at least 300,000 solar PV installations.

The Paul Green Billiton solar power generation can look forward to


Today is the last trading day of 2012, Hong Kong stocks before the resumption of trading, the United States can "financial cliff" breakthrough, will directly influence the performance of market conditions, but changed the trend of hot money inflows, the material continued favorable investor deployment bargain Jiancang national policy support plate and stocks, as a priority to collect objects.

Mainland photovoltaic industry in recent years, rapid development, has formed a complete photovoltaic industry system, together with the State Council reiterated that the PV industry as a strategic emerging industries, and to determine the policies and measures to promote the industry, the main development of solar power projects downstream Gogreen assets investment ( 0397) benefit the stock's recent trend has also been rejuvenated, it is worth to continue to keep an eye on.

Paul Green's existing three solar panels power projects, the end of last year, Xuchang, Henan New Area Administrative Committee signed an investment agreement, the development of cooperation, "the National Golden Sun Demonstration Project" to build a total installed capacity of 20 megawatts of solar in district buildings roof photovoltaic power stations, involving funding of about 322 million yuan, the project has been officially put into operation. The large grid station project in Golmud, Qinghai 10 MW ground in this grid operating condition is also good. Government demonstration project, Zhengzhou City, a 20-megawatt rooftop power station projects have been put into operation.

Group and is principally engaged in the solar module power business Sky Solar Holdings entered into a framework agreement. Under the agreement, China Gogreen will have the opportunity to participate through the subscription or purchase solar projects or held by such entity equity investments Sky Solar solar projects. Framework agreement is valid for two years. According to the management, the collaboration would help to consolidate the downstream solar power generation business, can participate in more potential projects.

Paul Green full expansion of solar panel price power generation project, in addition to access to Golden Sun program heavily subsidized, grid and then provide a stable electricity revenue can be regarded as the main benefit from the shares of the national support new energy policy, not to mention the stock current price 0.059 Yuan, PB is only 0.29 times its assets large discount material favorable price laggard.

It is worth mentioning that before Gogreen transformation of high-quality medical examination business and property assets, the future existence of the spin-off condition, the situation once retroactive discount. In terms of stock prices, stock since last week, with 10 antenna officially broke the antenna 20 and further on Friday recovered 50 antenna the trend also report better. There are signs that the recent market hot money increase in hot pursuit of new energy stocks, the rebound potential Gogreen can be expected continuation midline from the "immortals", return cents for the shares is a great opportunity.
