News May 14, China will start the domestic photovoltaic market. In order to speed up the development of China's new energy industry as an important initiative, the National Energy Board is preparing to start the recent domestic photovoltaic market, the number of the initial installed capacity will reach 100,000 kilowatts, which is to promote the development of photovoltaic industry in China to ease the photovoltaic business the pressure of excess production capacity is important.
National Energy Board new and renewable sources of energy New Energy Division Director Liang Zhipeng in the May 12 opening of "the fourth investment and financing of renewable energy forum," said National Energy Board is studying how the size of the domestic photovoltaic market development the early stage, may start a few of the 100,000 kilowatts of photovoltaic power station project.
Prior to that, as a move to try and find out, the National Energy Board in March this year was held in Dunhuang, Gansu and net 10 MW of photovoltaic power generation market franchise tender the project, 18 bidders for a majority of the purchase price at 1.5 yuan / degree within, the power to vote and the composition of Yingli Green Energy Consortium also voted out of 0.69 yuan / degree of ultra-low prices. Liang Zhipeng, said the judge from the photovoltaic business and the current industry chain to see the price of 1.5 yuan / degree within the PV has a more realistic price, China has come to accelerate the development of appropriate scale photovoltaic power generation phase.

China will reach 100,000 kilowatts of new solar power plant
Suntech Power will be building a factory in the United States
May 12 news, solar panel manufacturer Suntech Power plans to the building of factories in the United States, to enter the U.S. market as a long-term strategy.
Chinese solar panel manufacturer Suntech Power said Monday plans to build a factory in the United States, the site has not yet been selected.
Suntech Power said that currently the United States, several states to look out for opportunities to expand in the U.S. solar market, the company plans in the next six months the new site selected.
Company CEO Shi Zhengrong in a statement that the U.S. utility demand for solar energy growth, and government incentives to promote solar, Suntech Power decided to set up factories in the United States.

Solar cells in Japan under the Japan's economic growth to support the technology
News May 10, the Japan Economy, Trade and Industry recently decided to put solar cells will support economic growth in Japan's position of technical fields, and actively promote its technical research and development, the expansion of Japan products in the global share; amendment "in Japan popularize and promote the domestic use of solar energy action plan "in order to enhance public facilities for the use of solar energy.
Japan Patent Office (JPO) Statistics 2000 to-2006 in Japan, the United States, Europe, China, South Korea in five countries and regions, the total solar cell patent applications from Japan amounted to 5,449 applications, accounting for 68.4%; which At present, the most popular applications for silicon solar cells reached 75% -81%, far ahead in Europe (8% -11%) and the United States (5% -7%). In other words, in response to global warming green energy - solar cell area, Japan is still the world's largest number of patented technology. However, a more universal type of thin solar panels a new generation of materials technology - an organic semiconductor solar cells, originated from Japan, the United States and European patent applications were 45%, 29% and 19%, and European research institutions in the important journal published papers in the field of 126, is Japan (29) more than 4 times. JPO accordingly that the Japan area of organic semiconductor technology research and development of solar cells has lagged behind Europe and the United States.
According to relevant information, Economy, Trade and Industry in March 2009 on the Japan scale of the next solar industry forecast: the current environmental protection has been widely favored energy background, the Japan production of solar cells will be rapid growth in product sales to the industry in 2020 will expand to 10 times lower than the current, amounting to 10 trillion yen (about 7,040 billion yuan), the staff size from the current 1.2 million to 11 million people.
