U.S. Applied Materials (AMAT) in solar cells show "PVJapan 2008" on display at the Indian Moser Baer Photo Voltaic the manufacturing floor size of 2.2 m × 2.6m film solar cell modules.
Moser Bare is the first production line using AMAT solar manufacturers. Moser Bare display modules, Construction show that AMAT production lines have been successfully launched. However, the module conversion efficiency, and other specific details were not released. AMAT Health Production lines are characterized by the floor size is capable of producing 2.2 m × 2.6m of large-size thin film of silicon solar cells.

U.S. AMAT Display From India Ordered The Thin-Film Solar Cells
Dupont Invested 160 Million U.S. Dollars In Building Shengang Film Solar Panels R & D Base
DuPont announced that it will in the Hong Kong Institute of building solar power, solar cells in Shenzhen building module parts manufacturing plant. The company expects demand for the next few years, solar power will continue to maintain the annual growth rate of more than 30 percent, in order to meet this demand, the company decided to conduct the large-scale investment.
DuPont earlier in the crystalline silicon solar module manufacturers in the various parts. This time, in Hong Kong, Shenzhen and the newly established Institute for Research and the plant will manufacture amorphous silicon thin film solar cell components. These components include transparent or translucent glass-like solar panels and strengthen the module sealed materials.
DuPont Photovoltaic power generation is the world's major industrial materials suppliers, the company will invest 160 million U.S. dollars in construction in Shengang film solar panel research and development bases. Project research and development center in Hong Kong Science Park, the production base in Shenzhen City, Guangming New Area, June 6 this year, the project in the Guangming held a foundation laying ceremony of the new district. DuPont project using the latest research and development of amorphous silicon thin film solar panel production technology, with an annual output of thin film solar panels of 50 megawatts, the output value of 200 million U.S. dollars.

Aferrotec Japan Plans To Increase In China's Output Of Photovoltaic Equipment
Japanese semiconductor manufacturing equipment components manufacturers in China Ferrotec plans to increase the output of solar cell manufacturing equipment, the company will be in this capital equipment investment of 850 million yen.
It is understood that the company will be the year the equipment manufacturing crystalline silicon production capacity increased to 50 per month, representing an increase of about 40 percent at present. To this end the company will invest in capital equipment of 850 million yen. At the same time to cope with the increase in demand for solar cells, plans related to the 2008 business year will increase to 07 annual sales of 2.2 times to 10.2 billion yen.
It is learnt that, Ferrotec Shanghai plant will increase production of polycrystalline silicon and silicon manufacturing equipment manufacturing equipment. Year plan will be high purity, good power generation efficiency silicon manufacturing equipment to increase the monthly output of 10 to 40.

Toshiba's Solar Power Generation Business "Is Still In The Feasibility Stage Of Business"
Some media reports for the "Toshiba will cooperate with the United States in Japan sales SunPower solar system," the content, Toshiba said in a statement: "The current business is still in the feasibility study stage." For the company from July 18, 2008 from the sale of the system reported to be negative, said: "Sales have not formulated any specific plans" (the company).
On the other hand, SunPower CEO, Thomas H. Werner on television on the relationship between the company and Toshiba, said: "through the combination of Toshiba's electronic technology with our high conversion efficiency of solar cells, the market share from 0% to 10% . "
SunPower unit developed a conversion efficiency of the highest commercial crystalline silicon solar cell modules of the conversion efficiency of about 22 per cent (see this site reported 1, this site reported 2). In addition, the company in May 2008, the large size of 12 cm square to the solar cell modules, and created a 23.4 percent conversion efficiency record. July 17, 2008 issued by the settlement report shows that in 2008 the second quarter (April to June) in sales from 200 million the first quarter of 7370 U.S. dollars soared 40 percent, reaching 300 million 8280 U.S. dollars. Than the same period last year increased by 120 percent, far more than the entire solar cell industry an average of about 40 percent of the growth momentum.
