Luxembourg Institute of the University developed a solar cell conversion efficiency of 12% of the CIGS (Cu, In, Ga, Se)-based solar cell modules. The Institute is located in Luxembourg at the University of TDK's industry-university co-operative research projects "TDK Europe Professorship" under the framework in April 2007 established. Mainly engaged in the new solar cell materials and manufacturing process development.
In order to enhance solar cell conversion efficiency of the Institute, developed a thin-film solar cell absorption layers and isolation layers. The future will be located at the Institute in Berlin, Germany, Helmholtz-Zentrum Munchen layer to develop the use of these solar cells.
In addition, the Institute has also successfully developed a non-high In the solar cell. Manufacturing methods can be used in the plating method to reduce costs. Conversion efficiency of 3.2%. According to the Institute of solar cells that use the same kinds of material conversion efficiency of solar cells is the world record of 3.4 percent.

Excess production capacity of solar energy market prices down
iSuppli recently reported that the global solar energy industry is facing weak demand by the end of 2008, it has been unable to effectively control the problem of excess production capacity, resulting in declining prices. Statistics show that in 2009 Q1 the average of the overall solar industry stocks reached 122 days the number of days than the same period in 2008 increased 48 days, an increase of up to 65%.
Henning Wicht analyst at iSuppli, said the 65 percent average increase in the number of days inventory is equivalent to the global solar energy industry in 1 year more than one and a half out of stock. According to current trends, the future there will be more industry into solar industry, then the situation of excess production capacity even more serious, I am afraid, can not be expected to rebound in the short term prices.
iSuppli said that the recent investment in a number of polysilicon suppliers to set up new plants, in order to cost-recovery had to maintain a certain production capacity, excess capacity is created one of the reasons why. iSuppli estimates the price of polysilicon by the end of 2009 will fall to 50 U.S. dollars per kilogram, and the beginning of the 180 U.S. dollars per kilogram compared to the price, fell as much as 72%.
Yingli, REC, SolarWorld, such as integrating suppliers in this wave of trends in the solar energy industry has become the hardest hit by the industry. These industry single-handedly from the polysilicon, wafer to solar cell supply chain, so in the past had the advantage of adequate resources. However, by the end of 2008 to combat the global downturn after the market demand, integrated business model instead of the various aspects of mutual containment, resulting in this type of industry has not been able to make contingency plans.
Solar cell and module manufacturers to the same serious injuries. iSuppli data showed that a quarter of the first solar cells and modules to meet the average number of days inventory 105 days, 3 more than the first quarter of 2008 increased 58 days, mainly in the demand for the industry must live up to after declining earlier and upstream suppliers to sign the orders due to .
Compared to the horrors downstream manufacturers, suppliers of polysilicon and wafer upstream industry, such as relatively minor trauma. The links in the first quarter a number of days the average inventory of 98 days, only to increase over the same period in 2008 than in 24 days.

LDK Solar: The first batch of 5,000 tons of polysilicon projects are under test
Recently, LDK Solar's annual production capacity of 15,000 tons of polysilicon a world-class project to make significant progress, the first batch of 5,000 tons of project construction and installation of equipment has been completed.
It is reported that the first batch of 5,000 tons of polysilicon projects have been completed public facilities, infrastructure and external facilities, the basic completion of all facilities systems before and after the test, so as to pre-production ready. LDK Solar in the second half will focus on the achievement of the first batch of 5,000 tons of projects to achieve the goal of full load operation.
