Webel - Sl Energy Systems, Inc. recently said that because of global demand for clean energy increasing, the company now is trying to take this opportunity, so the eastern part of the company's investment in India, 1.8 billion rupees (35.7 million U.S. dollars) building a second production of photovoltaic cells factory.
Webel - Sl Energy Ambarish Bangur Marketing Manager for Dow Jones Newswires in a telephone interview said, "at the plant can be put into operation within one month of operation." Mr Bangur said that the construction of the new plant is located on the outskirts of Calcutta, the plant will improve Webel - Sl Energy Company annual production capacity from the current 12 MW to 42 MW.
For the United States, Europe and Australia's total exports accounted for Webel - Sl energy company's total sales of 95%. He also added that we have only 3% -5% sales are from India. "However, he said, the company also witnessed a country more and more attention to renewable energy and the promotion of the regional demand.
It is reported that China plans to install on the roof of solar panels to subsidize the cost 50%, Bangur said, "China is a potential market", but the company has no plans to set up factories in the country. He said, "My product prices than goods produced in Europe 10-15% Low Price", "If there is demand in the Chinese market, we import from India will be able to compete with other companies."

Webel-Sl construction in India's eastern second solar cell factory
The world's largest thin film solar cell power plant built
The world's largest thin-film solar power plant built in Germany, which was known as the "Rote Jahne". JUWI SOLAR from the station to build, the scale there is 6MW. In order to get enough sunlight, a total of 90,000 applied to the solar cell component. Thin-film battery components than in ordinary crystalline silicon solar cells cheaper components, and units of installed capacity will have more energy. The solar power station has been built on an abandoned military airfield on top of the battery components of the surface area of about 16.5 acres. Power station every year 5.7 million kwh generation, enough of the 1900 home consumption.
Juwi Solar at the same time scale is the construction of a 40MW solar park, its thin-film solar cells by the 550,000 block components. The project is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2009.

Chinese photovoltaic system cost subsidies accounted for almost half
Person in charge of the Chinese Ministry of Finance on March 31 in response to a question, pointed out that the photovoltaic solar power in 2009 on the grant application and demonstration of building standards identified as 20 yuan / kw, accounting for the cost of the current system of near 50%. Subsidies to reduce the cost of power generation after the one yuan / degree, greatly enhanced the competitiveness of PV.
Completely covered the cost of battery
Person in charge of the Chinese Ministry of Finance said that in 2009 the principle of subsidies on the standard 20 yuan / W, specific criteria will be based architecture combined with the degree of technical sophistication of optoelectronic products and other factors to determine classification. After the annual grants in accordance with industry standards will be the development of an appropriate adjustment. The focus of policy support are building integrated photovoltaic solar power applications, architecture combined with the use of photovoltaic power plant using photovoltaic and other forms of support for this policy is not within the scope of.
Application of photovoltaic solar power system cost the main building consists of two parts, one component of the cost of solar cells. In recent years, with the domestic photovoltaic industry technological progress and expansion of the rapid decline in the cost of solar cells has dropped to 20 yuan / W or less; two applications are the installation costs, including design and construction, balancing system, such as grid access. Combined with the use of architecture in accordance with the different levels, the actual cost to install different applications, higher integration and higher cost of installing an application, the current average cost of installing an application at 20 yuan / watt or so.

North America's largest photovoltaic roof inaugurated
China PV maker Trina Solar announced that the company in March 2009 at the United States, "Atlanta Convention Center" as a template 13400 Trina Solar energy Solar energy power plant comprising inaugurated, the device total power of 2.4 MW , the largest in North America are installed in a single roof solar power generating equipment.
The project was completed by the end of 2008, is expected to be powered for 280 users, which can be 2132 tons per year to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The Convention Center station to meet a quarter of the energy required, and in the next 20 years for the center to save up to 4.4 million U.S. dollars in energy costs.

China promulgated "solar roofs program"
China journalist from the Ministry of Finance was informed that the State Council for the implementation of strategic energy-saving emission reduction, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Construction of housing and urban and rural areas has recently issued a series of policies and views to speed up the solar PV technology in the field of urban and rural architecture.
The two departments, at the initial stage of development taken by way of demonstration projects, the implementation of "solar roofs program" to speed up the construction of urban and rural areas of optoelectronics at the popularization and application, to create conditions for large-scale promotion.
And formulate the Ministry of Finance has recently issued the "application of solar PV building Interim Measures for the Administration of financial subsidies." In addition, the department also stressed that the two areas of policy support to strengthen the construction.
