Japanese media reports, Mitsubishi Electric Corp. Director Wang Village Festival, held in 21 said that the trading strategy, the company will be solar power generation system as the cause of great growth potential and is expected in 2011 to expand its production capacity to 600MW size, about the current (2008; 220MW) 3 times.
Village President pointed out that the cause of solar power generation by the recession, although growth has slowed down the impact, but the future is bound to further expand the size of the market, so the company plans to generate electricity in addition to the highest level of efficiency of solar cells as early as a walk outside the advancing stage of mass production also plans to expand in Europe and America and China's solar power generation systems sales.
Mitsubishi Electric on February 18 this year, announced that the effective absorption of sunlight by a new method of infrared, the company already has the world's number one 150 mm square polycrystalline silicon solar cell conversion efficiency of 0.3 to further boost percentage points to 18.9%.

LDK Solar silicon wafers in 2009 to maintain production capacity in the 1.5GW
News May 18, due to the downturn in the global photovoltaic industry conditions, the manufacturer's production capacity expansion of the pace seems to have been greatly affected. However, according to the latest news that leading enterprises in China Polysilicon LDK Solar 2009 years of silicon wafer production capacity remained at 1.5GW.
Peng Xiaofeng, chairman of the company said that the company still maintained a steady volume of the standard, the average quarterly shipments can be maintained at more than 200MW. He also optimistic about the prospects for solar energy industry. In his view, the solar energy industry is very healthy long-term fundamentals, demand is still there, only to face financial crisis, the impact of business credit financing, but the impact will be very short.
Jiang Qian Energy industry analysts said that as the European countries, especially in the field of solar energy in Spain in the event of a major policy change, the global PV market caused a sharp contraction, which led to the first quarter of the global photovoltaic business is generally not the ideal operating conditions. China (including Taiwan), Germany, the United States and other countries one after another photovoltaic manufacturing companies released the first quarter of the recent results have shown this trend.
