United States Renewable Energy Fund the amount of up to 3 billion U.S. dollars
U.S. Treasury Department and the Department of Energy recently revealed company plans to apply for renewable energy development fund guidelines, the Fund about the amount of three billion U.S. dollars, estimated to provide immediate tax credit for 1000 of about 5 solar energy, wind power production facilities, etc. . Reported that the next three years will help fund renewable energy production to reach the goal of doubling, but also allows non-governmental enterprises in the tight credit market conditions are still better access to capital.
The report also mentioned that each program is expected to receive 600,000 U.S. dollars of assistance. In addition, regardless of the construction start time for that, as long as 1 January, 2009 to 2010 December 31 during the day to begin production of renewable energy equipment can make an application; and only started in the construction of the above-mentioned period, and then in 2010 to production before the closing date for applications are also applicable. To solar energy as an example, the application deadline for January 1, 2017.

Japan Government plans for all public primary and secondary schools into solar power
8 reported that in order to achieve greenhouse gas (CO2) reduction target, Japan plans to the Government in 2020 in Japan before all public primary and secondary schools (a total of about 32,000) of solar energy into electricity, and plans to take the lead in 2012 to solar power into a few schools from the existing 1,200 increased by 10 times to 12,000.
Reported that, Japan Government has made plans to import solar power generation, the main because the school facilities and residential, business establishments and factories, compared more to the national and local governments under the auspices of the related equipment in accordance with the plan prepared by the work of the whole, Canada school into the solar equipment, but also on children and students to help education.
Reported that, Japan Prime Minister Taro Aso made in June this year JapanCO2 emissions in 2020 than in 2005 will be reduced by 15% of the medium-term goal, according to the results spreadsheet, in order to achieve the medium-term target is almost no CO2 emissions of the total solar generating capacity must be increased to 20 times the current.

South Korea: DSSC thin film solar cell conversion efficiency can be increased to 16%
Yonhap News South Korean media reports, The state-run Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) 29 announced that has developed to a substantial increase in thin-film panchromatic solar cells conversion efficiency of the manufacturing process can be yellow, red, green three different color layer stack in a layer of TiO2 film. According to the report, the technology can be DSSC solar cell conversion efficiency from the previous level of 11% to further improve to around 15-16%.
Thomson Reuters reports that the United States cadmium telluride thin film solar cell module maker First Solar Inc. President Bruce Sohn on June 24 conference in Las Vegas that is expected in 2014 the company's thin-film solar cell production costs can be Point in 2009 from Q1 of 0.93 U.S. dollars per watt down to 0.52-0.63 dollars, and energy conversion efficiency is expected from the current 10.9 percent to 12.5 percent boost.
cadmium telluride thin film solar cells of the highest conversion efficiency was 16.5%, from the United States reached a National Renewable Energy Laboratory. In addition, SunPower Corp. Just in the near future to introduce a 19.3 percent conversion efficiency of crystalline silicon solar cells.
