Research and Markets has released a new repot titled “Thin Film Solar Cells Market Potential”. Usable energy is obtained from the light of the sun through the technology called solar power. A number of traditional technologies have been using solar energy for many centuries. The solar technology is extensively used in places where grid power is not available such as in remote locations and space.
Global Solar Energy has introduced two versions of universal serial bus (USB) enabled SUNLINQ portable solar chargers in the market. Global Solar Energy is a leading producer of Copper Indium Gallium diSelenide (CIGS) thin film solar products.
Ascent Solar Technologies announced the development of new building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) products with different widths for the US standing seam metal roof marketplace. The development of this new metal roof solution was part of a current agreement with EnergyPeak of Moon Township, Pennsylvania.
Morgan Solar, a solar energy start-up company in Toronto, has increased its first-round investment from the USD $4.7 million as announced in October 2009 to USD $8.2 million.
Solar Energy Initiatives’ 800 kilowatt project with the Canon City School District in Canon City, Colorado is completed and expected to be commissioned in January 2010. Solar Energy Initiatives is carrying out a grass roots campaign called “RENEW THE NATION”. The aim of this campaign is to redeploy a part of the US work force and to reduce the global dependence on fossil fuel by selling photovoltaic and solar thermal technologies.
Woods Hole Landholdings (WHLH) has announced that it has equipped the headquarters of Woods Hole Group with a solar panel installation. The company has teamed up with Beaumont Solar for the renewable energy project. The installation has utilized solar panels from Sun Power. At present, the solar panels from Sun Power are the most efficient panels available on the global solar market. The office building is headquarters for the Woods Hole Group Inc. and its subsidiary, the Woods Hole Group Middle East. The solar power system has 176 panels and occupies approximately 2,400 square foot of space on the roof.
Maryland’s single largest rooftop solar power installation was unveiled by Staples and SunEdison at Staples’ fulfillment center in Hanover. Staples is the largest office products company in the world and SunEdision is a subsidiary of MEMC Electronic Materials and largest provider of solar energy services in North America. The solar installation occupies nearly 175,000 square feet of roof space, which is bigger that three football fields. The rooftop solar installation has a capacity to generate 1.01 megawatt of power.
The basic substrate used for the building of electrical circuits and capturing of sunlight and converting it into electricity is provided by polysilicon, which is considered as the backbone of the photovoltaic business and the semiconductor industry. In comparison with the electronic grade silicon that is used to make semiconductors, the purity of silicon can be much lower for making solar wafers. “Polysilicon for Solar Wafers” a techno-economic report, has been released by SRI Consulting. This report talks about the manufacturing economics and the process design for three major commercial processes.
Solutia has been selected to supply its Therminol VP-1 synthetic heat transfer fluid for a new concentrating solar power plant, Solnova 4, in Sevilla, Spain. The 50-MW solar power plant, which is managed by Abener, is scheduled to commence operations in 2010. This plant will be located in Abener's Solucar Platform complex, where several solar plants will also be installed.
Research and Markets has released a new report titled “Miniature Solar Cells Market Potential.” Usable energy from the light of the sun is obtained with the solar power technology. For a very long time, traditional technologies have been using solar energy. The solar technology is deployed extensively in regions where utility power is not available such as in remote locations. This technology is used for space applications also.
