With the continuous advancement of technology, thin film photovoltaic solar cell conversion efficiency was rapidly rising, now more than 2 years ago raised about -40% 30%, although in comparison with crystalline silicon cells have very different, but the materials used small, simple, low energy consumption and the cost advantage is increasingly being accepted by the industry. So almost 3 years, thin-film solar cell industry developed rapidly.
As traditional manufacturing power and solar energy, the Japanese in the development of thin film solar cells are also spared no effort. In 2008 as a result of global demand for silicon raw material prices lead to boom, the Japanese solar cell manufacturers have transferred to low-cost thin film materials sectors. For consultants in the research department of the latest energy industry that in 2008 Japanese film solar cell production capacity of 440.5MW, an increase of 133.7%.
Another good news is that June 24 the United States the world's leading thin-film solar FirstSoalr legal description in Las Vegas said the plan to 2014 thin-film CdTe solar cell module manufacturing costs per watt will reach 0.52 ~ 0.63 U.S. dollars, which per watt than the current cost of about 0.93 U.S. dollars fell 30 ~ 40% conversion efficiency rose to 10.9 percent from the current 12.5 percent, 1.6 percentage points to upgrade.

European enterprises to invest 400 billion euros to build solar power plant
July 13, to Munich Re and Siemens AG, led by 12 large companies in Munich, Germany signed a cooperation letter of intent to set up "Desertec Industrial Initiative" (DII), to invest some 400 billion euros, the Sahara Desert in Africa to build solar power plant , this will be the world's largest solar energy project.
12 plans will be set up before October this year, DII, and the feasibility of the 3 year plan by 2050 to meet the energy requirements of Europe 15%.
Sahara Desert is the world's most abundant sunlight areas. Siemens said that if there into a 300 by 300 km area of the "parabolic mirror zone" may meet the energy needs of the entire planet. Therefore, the past few years, European scientists have been active on this project.
Obvious benefits of this project is the development of clean energy, but the cost is very high. Therefore, it is signed or the technology leader in the financial strength of large companies, in addition to the above-mentioned two companies, the contract also includes Deutsche Bank, Germany, "Hamburg, Schleswig-Holstein North Bank", Germany's two major energy companies, "intended to Ang" and "Rhine", ABB Switzerland, as well as a number of solar energy specialist.
