China has become the world's leading producer of solar cells

Country in the new energy development momentum of rapid development, especially in the solar cell industry, China has become the world's leading producer of solar cells. According to the Chinese Solar Energy Society's data, in 2007, China's solar cell production is approximately 1180 MW, the world's top 16 solar companies in China accounted for six of the world's most active investment in new energy markets.

However, according to industry sources, with strong demand in overseas markets, in stark contrast, the domestic application is lagging behind, a serious shortage of domestic demand, "there is industry, no market" issues outstanding. Sanyo Electric announced that it would Monterrey, Mexico (Monterrey) factory mppt charge controller module production capacity to the current level of 2.5 times. Monterrey plant is developed by Sanyo Electric to "HIT (Heterojunction With Intrinsic Thin Layer)" construct solar cell module factory made.

Sanyo Electric plans to declare the plant capacity from the current 2.5 times increased to 20MW 50MW. Scheduled in December 2008 to start using the new equipment for production. Investment amount of approximately $ 7,000,000. Through this enhanced capacity, Sanyo Electric will strengthen the demand is expected to expand the North American solar cell business.

   Sanyo Electric plans to end the year 2010 HIT how to make solar panels production capacity from the current 260MW to 600MW raise more. To this end, in North America, in addition to the enhanced module Monterrey plant production capacity, in September 2008 is still Oregon (Oregon) Salem (Salem) City, set up production of solar silicon (Si) and crystalline ingot round of the new company.

The new company's plant will begin operation in 2009, when the silicon ingot and wafer production capacity will be expanded to the current three times, reaching 100MW. 2010 when the Shanghai World Expo site, will become China's largest solar energy intensive applications city. Reporter yesterday from the Yangtze River Delta Technology Forum on Fifth learned that the park will reach 5,000 kilowatts of solar power generation capacity, the China Pavilion, Expo Center, the main hall and studied the plant will be laid on both the construction of photovoltaic cells to capture the sun.

   According to reports, planned land area of ​​5.28 square kilometers of the Expo will be a large area of ​​application of solar parks, major venues and facilities as well as some national self-built museum, will install solar energy facilities, and thus with the Shanghai main grid and power generation, large-scale development for the city explore the experience of using solar energy.
