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.
