India's Gujarat province plans to build the world's largest solar power generation facilities, which cost 10 billion U.S. dollars, generating capacity 3000MW scheme has been agreed by the Clinton Foundation to assist the United States is expected before the end of the year completed the acquisition of 6000 hectares of land.
It has been reported, Gujarat Province, and former U.S. President Bill Clinton presided over the foundation on September 8 to sign a preliminary agreement. Gujarat province, officials said, the Clinton Foundation will assist in this scheme to the Asian Development Bank and other institutions to obtain low-interest financing, as well as the introduction of producers and generators. This project might be in the Gujarat province, 150 kilometers to build three solar energy within the park, a total area of 10,000 hectares, take five years time to develop.
In the energy-deficient India, solar energy is a promising development in renewable energy sources, it is estimated the demand for electricity in India is expected to be in the next 20 years, an increase of 5 times. India's goal is to achieve the 2020 goal of 20000 MG solar power, but reached only about 5MG.
In addition to the Clinton Foundation, Gujarat province and the U.S. solar energy company AES and the Spanish Abengoa suppliers such as solar energy companies, for other solar energy plan, the province has the supply of solar electricity 716MG.

Oerlikon Solar a-Si solar cell conversion efficiency of 10% breakthrough
As the world's leading thin-film silicon photovoltaic production equipment supplier Oerlikon Solar today announced that its amorphous silicon (a-Si) single-junction photovoltaic cells gained a new record of stability and conversion efficiency. Recently by the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) re-affirmed and recognized the test results show that the energy conversion efficiency of more than 10%. The results of the amorphous silicon thin film photovoltaic technology to create a new world record. Oerlikon Solar in Neuchatel R & D team can consistently produce a high similar to the efficiency of solar cells, demonstrating a stable and repeatable process.
"The achievements are impressive demonstration of the rapid promotion of Oerlikon Solar thin-film silicon PV technology to reduce electricity costs unique ability," Jeannine Sargent, CEO Oerlikon Solar said. In the amorphous silicon technology to obtain a high cell conversion efficiency is a proprietary high-performance amorphous silicon and microcrystalline silicon cells laminated photovoltaic technology a key driver.
A record of solar cells to demonstrate the superior performance of the Oerlikon advantages of thin-film silicon photovoltaic technology, once again demonstrates the company's integrated research and development planning. Oerlikon Solar's advanced deposition equipment and technology and its large number of process know-how eventually to create a higher conversion efficiency of solar cell design optimization. The recent success of amorphous silicon cell efficiency has laid a-Si modules laminated acquired or produced more than 10% efficiency basis.

Sanyo developed a thickness of only 0.1 mm thin film solar cell efficiency
According to Japan's Kyodo News agency reported that Japan's Sanyo Electric Co. announced the 18 developed only half of its original thickness, about 0.1 mm of solar cells. The battery-piece basic components of solar cells, solar energy conversion rate reached the highest level of 22.8%. Sanyo hopes to mass production a few years later, when the solar power system is expected to push prices down.
Solar panels from a combination of solar cells. The existing ordinary cell thickness of about 0.2 mm, and the cell thickness of only 0.098 mm. Usually the battery thickness thinning will reduce the amount of light absorption, resulting in current and voltage goes low, the output power decrease. However, according to Sanyo's introduction, by improving the bonding technology to improve the absorption effect by preventing the decline in power output.
Thin film batteries will allow the use of silicon raw materials, reduced by about 25% lower costs help drive down the price of solar panels. In addition, the battery can also be adjusted to expand the use of film curvature. Sanyo announced in May of this year developed the world's first solar energy conversion rate (23%) of solar cells.

China has also decided to take two years to feed-in-tariff price of
Hapoalim Securities analyst Gordon Johnson recently published research report, China may need two years of time before the adoption of compulsory photovoltaic electricity price (feed-in tariff) policy, unlike the market generally expected in 2009. Johnson mentioned that the Chinese Energy Research Institute in Shanghai, an official who told reporters that the Government needs to at least two years of time to decide whether to adopt the policy FIT.
Johnson also pointed out that, including Yingli Green, Suntech Power, Canadian Solar, LDK Solar and First Solar have announced that China in the near future the building of large-scale solar power program, which is based on the number of building programs in China to adopt policies based on FIT. He believes that investors should be warned that these companies related to the construction program will be faced with the extension.
The media had reported September 15, the National Development and Reform Commission of Energy Renewable Energy Development Center, said researcher Hu Runqing, photovoltaic power station is still online price will follow, "thing" approach to pricing, not because individual Several projects will be laid down throughout the industry benchmark price, there is no timetable yet. Hu Runqing 9 14 in the meeting told reporters on the sidelines of the wind power benchmark price set by the six-year period, photovoltaic certainly not for so long, but the need to determine the number of items to measure the level of profits is expected to take 2 years .
Government of Germany for green electricity price for a period of 20-year price guarantee to encourage homeowners to enter the solar energy generation unified national power grid, that is, feed-price (feed-in-tariff).

Thin-film solar plant to achieve 4.1 billion in orders for Nanosolar
It has been reported, Nanosolar inception in 2002, the company has a considerable amount of funds raised from about 500 million U.S. dollars, however, it is difficult to know the outside world is not publicly traded on the actual operation of Nanosolar. Nanosolar recently broke his silence, indicating that 4.1 billion of orders, its customers include solar power plant builder NextLight, AES Solar and Germany Beck Energy.
Nanosolar CEO Martin Roscheisen near Berlin, Germany Luckenwald panel on behalf of the company's assembly plant opening ceremony said that the plant every 10 seconds can produce a panel, annual production is equivalent to 640MW. Nanosolar is the use of CIGS solar technology, lower production costs, higher conversion efficiency. In addition to receiving orders from outside the Berlin plant became operational, Nanosolar said in a laboratory by solar cells made from CIGS conversion efficiency of up to 16.4% by the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) verified, the conversion efficiency of solar panels over 11%.
