SolarWorld into first, France 10% additional subsidies photovoltaic manufacturers


Germany SolarWorld (ETR: SWV) has become the first for France, 10% of local production quota requirements in addition to the feed-in tariff (FiT) subsidies photovoltaic manufacturers.

Sustainable Development and the Department of Energy announced more details of the emergency measures in order to promote solar energy industry in France, including 10% of local production quotas for subsidies.

A testing and certification bodies Certisolis confirmed SolarWorld's components are in full compliance with the requirements of the French government for subsidy eligibility.

According to the decree issued by the Sustainable Development and the Department of Energy, if the component contains a battery manufactured by the European Economic Area, or soldering, laminating and electrical test production phase in the implementation of the European Economic Area, feed-in tariff for photovoltaic system will be increased by 5%, . If these two conditions are met, the subsidies will be increased to 10%. If silicon is produced in Europe and meet one of the above two criteria, you can also apply for a 10% subsidy.

SolarWorld production equipment in Freiburg, Germany, covers all stages of the value chain, from silicon to solar panels china until the assembly is complete. The audit performed by the Certisolis, the entire production process of the company in Europe.

Local production quota subsidies designed to help offset the deficit of the French solar industry, prior to the trade deficit has grown to 1.35 billion euros (about 1.75 billion U.S. dollars).

U.S. First Solar (First Solar) announced that its cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar cell conversion efficiency of 18.7%, breaking the world record. The result has been the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) confirmed. The battery by First Solar Inc. plant in Perrysburg, Ohio, and R & D centers to commercial manufacturing processes and materials (glass substrate) production.

First solar company's chief technology officer RaffiGarabedian said the breakthrough, cadmium telluride china solar panel technology compared with other solar technology with great potential, show that the long-term importance of strong support for research and development to enhance product performance; developedadvanced technology and production processes will further improve the performance of the follow-up and power stations.

As the first solar company adhere to the rapid transformation of the R & D results, the average conversion efficiency of solar modules put into operation by the fourth quarter of 2012 reached 12.9%, and 12.2% in the fourth quarter of 2011 increased by 0.7 percentage points.

Since began commercial production in 2002, the first solar company has cumulative production of more than 90 million state-of-the-art thin film solar regulator production capacity of more than 7 GW. In terms of the world average, these solar capacity annually enough to provide clean electricity to about 3.5 million families, and reduce the emissions of 4.7 million tons of carbon dioxide. If these solar modules end-to-end arrangement, and its length can be rotated about three laps of the Earth's equator.
