Sunpower Planned 35 MW Solar Power Plant Construction

Sunpower solar energy company recently said it would establish the nation's largest solar photovoltaic plant, Florida Power service lighting company's customers. Sunpower plans in Florida, de Soto, the establishment of this 25 MW power plant, the company will also be in Florida at NASA's Kennedy Space Center set up 10 megawatts of solar power plants.

Sunpower plan in 2009 to complete the construction of 25 MW, 2010 to complete the construction of 10 MW. 25MW solar power plant will use Sunpower's solar tracking system, two solar power plant of the total generating capacity to supply 4,100 families use. But these two construction projects also need to be Florida Public Service Commission's approval.

SHARP Solar Power LCD TV

SHARP recently developed a 26-inch LCD TV, LCD TV The biggest feature is the use of solar power, according to SHARP that such products are mainly for third world countries, because there is more poverty, for solar energy -- Users can save the next than not a small expenditure.

In the performance parameters, this 26-inch LCD TV is also equipped with a 10,000:1 contrast ratio, and the panel thickness of only 20 mm, HP official did not disclose the price of this television, but to this product positioning to , Believe that it will not be very high price.


SHARP display 26-inch television solar

In July 7 to 9 in Hokkaido, Japan Lake Toya at the G-8 summit, SHARP show a 26-inch LCD TV prototype solar power, we understand the product's energy consumption is only the traditional two-thirds of the LCD TV 1, in addition to its power-saving features outside, SHARP LCD TV prototype with its own solar modules.

Shi Zhengrong: Solar Cell Prices Will Drop 50% Within 10 Years

Shi Zhengrong the richest man in China's energy recently in the "China International Industrial Fair," said the large number of companies to enter China's photovoltaic industry, so that the industry upstream products polysilicon demand, prices rose, but the homogenization of competition will result in , 10 years after the silicon chip prices fell half. At the same time, in his view, the real competitor is the solar thermal power generation and other traditional industries, rather than the same trade between the escalating price war.

Shi Zhengrong that, in order to make the prices of end products batteries can be declining, the need for technological innovation and transformation equipment. And technological innovation, is the use of thin film battery, which is the original 300-battery-for-2 to 3 microns for even thinner battery, so not only cost savings, could also apply to a wider range of industries. If the film battery with the existing mature cells polysilicon conversion rates, namely 15 percent over the next film battery market will be dominated.

U.S. National Semiconductor Corporation Enter The Solar Photovoltaic Market

U.S. National Semiconductor Corporation officially announced that solar photovoltaic products into the market. SolarMagic the company's new technology, can effectively improve the solar system's power output efficiency. Even if the battery side-by-side panels of the shadow of the region was obscured, there debris, or cubicles with bad batteries, the U.S. National Semiconductor Corporation of SolarMagic technology can give full play to each one of the board of solar photovoltaic cells efficiency, bring into full play the power generation system Good performance.

U.S. National Semiconductor Corporation Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Brian L Halla said: "enter the solar PV market is the United States National Semiconductor Corporation develop energy-efficient products marketing strategy a natural extension of our engineering experts have now resolved the thorny practical issues. Now, solar power systems can operate in adverse circumstances to ensure that customers have Yuanyuanbujue of green energy supply. Client's return on investment cycle is much shorter. "

SolarMagic technology can ensure that the solar battery panels for each system can operate independently, thus allowing the system to be the greatest power output. The current market structures of the solar system can be compatible SolarMagic technology.

U.S. National Semiconductor Corporation SolarMagic technology has now entered the field test stage. California's largest solar power generation equipment suppliers, one of the REgrid Power companies have begun on the U.S. National Semiconductor Corporation SolarMagic technology system testing.

Is expected in the coming months there will be more than solar power equipment companies SolarMagic technology for application testing. In addition, the U.S. National Semiconductor Corporation plans to expand the scope of application of testing outside the United States to other countries, especially solar energy technology more popular areas. U.S. National Semiconductor Corporation in the second half of the formal launch SolarMagic products, will supply solar energy system can launch products SolarMagic built-in system.
