August 19, China photovoltaic product manufacturer Yingli Green Energy announced second-quarter results, solar panel prices have fallen sharply since the company reported sales fell 25 percent during the period, a net loss of 394 million yuan occur. However, to benefit from the European PV market significantly warmer, the company in the second quarter shipments rose 72.3% qoq, net income rose 49.9% qoq, reaching 1.499 billion yuan, gross margin of 15.3% from the first quarter rose to 18.3%. In the second quarter, the company's European sales also rose 46%.

In addition, according to the British interest in the second half of confirmed orders and sales contract situation, Germany accounted for half of the share of other European countries also reached 35-40%, shipments throughout Europe Yingli production accounted for 85% or more.

Investment Advisor in the new energy industry, chief researcher Jiang Qian pointed out that although Yingli Green Energy second quarter results showed continued losses, but the main data chain have seen a more substantial upgrade, this is a clear warming global PV market signals. Especially in 2008 a serious decline since the fourth quarter of the European market to pick up momentum evident.

In contrast recent bustling Chinese market, although successive government promulgated the "Solar Roofs Plan" and the "Golden Sun Project", and has been in the stock market set off a firestorm. But only from the second half of the domestic Yingli Solar PV module shipments will account for less than 5% can be seen, the domestic PV market will take time to really open yet.

Investment Advisor in the Research Director Zhang Yan Lin believes that the stock market run tend to precede real economy, about half the time, which is why the "Solar Roofs Plan" and the "Golden Sun Project" has been the stock market set off a firestorm, and photovoltaic enterprises domestic The main reason is still not known for shipments. This also can be expected, the domestic PV market is really open at least to the second quarter of next year or so.

Although the domestic market but also take time to truly open, but Yingli Solar http://www.sungoldpower.co.uk/ is already ahead of the layout.

Developed jointly with the group of this project is the Spanish Asch Asch Ona Ona Group's solar energy company.

The choice Clark - Asch Ona consortium as a developer was decided by the U.S. Army Engineering Division, Baltimore District, U.S. military base at Fort Irwin cooperation with enhanced use lease (EUL) projects and jointly made by the U.S. Army.

Clarke Energy Group General Manager Francis Cohen said: "We have cooperation with the military will use this abundant, clean, renewable energy to change the base at Fort Irwin's energy security situation. Development project at Fort Irwin Solar grid tie power inverter EUL is far-sighted, This initiative shows that the military in promoting economic growth, but also began to focus on environmental protection, we fully agree with this idea, and the military selected Clark Energy Group is proud to participate in this important project. "

Fort Irwin in California's Mojave Desert. Here is the U.S. military's first heavy-duty mobile combat training center, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's "stone" contact the General Department of outer space where the national training center, which is primarily responsible for tracking and communication space missions.

Fort Irwin Solar EUL pilot project is funded by the U.S. Army Senior Energy Council, launched at the initiative of the Secretary-General. The Council's mission is to promote energy security and military coordination and policy-making, by taking measures to protect and rational use of energy, while encouraging all companies in the U.S. military on land production of alternative energy sources.

Army Senior Energy Executive Director Jerry Hansen said: "The military has been actively looking for opportunities, such as this project is the use of renewable energy as a substitute for conventional energy sources. Meanwhile, we also improve our energy security attitude towards the problem, working closely with other government agencies and relevant private partnership between. "

It is reported that the proposed development will eventually build capacity of over 500 megawatts of solar power plants in the Fort Irwin area with an annual output of renewable electricity 1250 kwh. Taking into account regional characteristics, objective constraints, the existing available resources, current and future technologies, cost, access to transmission lines as well as the time spent and the approved projects in various stages of construction of the integration process, Clark - Asch Ona consortium plans for the phased implementation of the Fort Irwin Solar  http://www.sungoldpower.co.uk/ EUL items. And will take a variety of technical methods to improve its power generation capacity to 1,000 MW. The Clark Group and Asch ona company's proposed building program within the industry not only highlights the concentrating photovoltaic solar technology also highlights the poly thermal solar technology.

Base commander of the garrison at Fort Irwin, Colonel Jim Qifulier said: "The Fort Irwin in the Department of Defense approved hereinafter Clark Group and Asch Ona companies, to carry out this groundbreaking project, is proud to present the proposed construction solar technology power plants are the largest U.S. Department of Defense in solar power projects, its construction shows that with the military base at Fort Irwin, have pledged to integrate environmental management into all levels of the operation. "

 New energy industry revitalization plan has been the focus of the industry. According to Liu Qi, deputy director of the National Energy Board in June introduced, being prepared for new energy development plan, define the new energy mainly in two aspects: First, on wind, solar, biomass and other new sources of energy, the second is the traditional energy for the formation of new technological changes in energy, such as the clean and efficient use of coal, new fuel vehicles, smart grid.

As a new energy plan in an industry, solar thermal industry have definitely been the industry's attention.

China Energy Research Society, vice chairman and secretary general of the Fifth Bao Yunqiao August 4 to editors said that flexible solar panels thermal utilization is mainly manifested in two aspects: First, solar water heaters, solar thermal power generation is two.

"As one of the representatives of solar thermal utilization of solar water heaters in China has formed a scale, and large, private use is also more popular, and now our country is already the world's largest solar water heater production and sales countries, some solar water heater companies are already on the market. "Bao Yunqiao tell the editor, but solar thermal power and solar water heater is not enough compared to the use of common. Thermal power generation equipment used mainly refers to focus sunlight exposure tower boiler, using the generated steam to generate electricity, which power generation plant and the general principle is the same.

Bao Yunqiao said that solar thermal power generation technology is still no real breakthrough has yet to be able to popularize technical aspects need to be further improved. But if the technical problems can be resolved, then the prospects for solar thermal power generation is very nice. For example, in the sunny desert regions to generate electricity, the cost of electricity is lower than the cost of solar PV.

"Photothermal enterprises mainly rely on the market, Photovoltaic Panels thermal industry is only one field of renewable energy developed by the operation of the market growing industry." China Academy of Building Research Fellow, China Renewable Energy Society, thermal Professional Committee Zhengrui Cheng August 4 In an interview with China Economic Times reporter in a telephone interview that the solar photovoltaic industry and rely mainly on foreign markets is not the same, solar thermal industry is mainly based on the domestic market, and the country's solar thermal market is recognized as the world's largest market.

Zhengrui Cheng believes that countries are developing a new energy industry planning for the solar thermal industry is undoubtedly good news, showing the Government's efforts to support the solar energy industry is growing, but also to solar companies brought good opportunities for development and market prospects .

China solar thermal industry is one of the leading enterprises in Jiangsu sun rain on the 4th Group Chairman Xu told the China Economic Times reporter, in their own business, for example, in accordance with the third five-year business plan objectives - in five years, The "Solar Rain" playing China solar thermal industry in the first ten billion yuan output value of enterprises, five years later, their business will accrue to promote water heaters nearly 100 million square meters, can replace conventional energy accumulated 20 million tce tons of carbon dioxide emissions can also be reached 30 million tons. 20 million tons of standard coal, if converted into electricity is 87.4 billion kwh, while the completion of the Three Gorges power station in 2008 the amount of 80.812 billion kwh electricity generation, five years after the "Solar Rain" is equivalent to annual savings in energy consumption 1.08 Gorges power plants.

"The new energy industry revitalization plan can be said catalyst to accelerate the development of our industry, but also greatly changed the people's consumption habits." Xu told the reporter, with the gradual weakening of the financial crisis, the rural the core of the domestic market started. National revitalization plan and the recent series of China-US Strategic Economic Dialogue will include important new energy issues, the country experienced the energy crisis starting to focus the development of new energy industries, which industries and businesses, are huge opportunities.
