 Humans have been trying to get the device to automatically capture energy from the surrounding environment. In the early 20th century, researchers have different ways of installing such equipment. Today, Professor Zhong Lin Wang of the Georgia Institute of Technology research team developed while collecting solar energy and mechanical energy of complex nano-generators, and the first to achieve a variety of energy sources can simultaneously collect a single integrated device. This latest study, published in the "American Chemical Society" online edition.

Can simultaneously collect solar energy and mechanical energy of complex nano-generator Zhong Lin Wang, Dr. Wang Xudong and doctoral Xu Chen, etc. In their 2006 invention of the DC nano-generator, based on the integration of the dye-sensitized solar panel manufacturers function. Two power units are zinc oxide-based nano-arrays share the same metal electrodes. In addition, different design and assembly processes, the solar cells and nano-generators in series and parallel can achieve integration.

So far, the solar cells used in human and machine to drive a generator are based on different working principles of design stand-alone devices. But the human demand for energy is growing, urgent need for a day to collect all available forms of energy technologies, especially solar energy and mechanical energy.

Wang Zhonglin Group research shows that they can simultaneously developed a collection of solar http://www.sungoldpower.co.uk/ energy and mechanical energy of the new integrated generator. After testing, the two parts function unit can simultaneously achieve both work independently and are not affected. Moreover, by two different series and parallel design, output current, voltage and power to achieve a significantly improved. In addition, the study also found that the voltage output of the solar cells can greatly enhance the nano-generator output voltage.

Wang Lin, said integrated generator in a series, the solar battery cell anode and cathode nano-generator is integrated in the same piece of silicon. In the test, the integrated generator placed in simulated solar light, nano-generator unit is in its lower ultrasonic device. As the ultrasonic driver, zinc oxide between the semiconductor and the metal electrode Schottky barrier (metal has the rectifying characteristics - semiconductor junction) is able to control the charge accumulation and release of mechanical energy to achieve conversion of electrical energy and generates a a piezo-electric potential difference, electron is injected into the intermediate electrode so, while the solar cell in a redox reaction, thereby increasing the output current of the solar cell.

 April 16, the Sino-Japanese cooperation in large-scale photovoltaic power plant projects successfully completed empirical research, marking the province into the city power grid solar photovoltaic technology has reached the international advanced level.

In recent years, the province has increased efforts to support the PV industry, construction of solar photovoltaic industry base, production base of solar power will become the province's future development goals, solar energy will become the province's nascent fifth pillar industries.

With industrial development, in the conventional energy shortages, rapid economic development and the global environment deteriorating triple pressure, dc to ac power inverter energy resources has been the world's attention, the photovoltaic industry with an average annual growth rate of 35%.

Qinghai is the most abundant solar energy resources in China one of the provinces, the annual average sunshine 2500 hours to 3650 hours, with other provinces outside the TAR incomparable advantages in resources, and the province has been basically formed from silicon - silicon - monocrystalline silicon - ingot - slice - solar cell manufacturing - components of the package - integrated photovoltaic system more complete PV industry chain, has become the center of the western development of photovoltaic industry.

Back in the 1980s, Qinghai Province began in the vast rural and pastoral areas to promote small solar panels cookers, heating room, Livestock Cattle and other solar thermal project and select parts of the construction of solar photovoltaic power plant demonstration project. At present, the province has built 108 independent solar photovoltaic power plants, photovoltaic cumulative installed capacity of about eight thousand kilovolts.

Meanwhile, several roads in Xining and community adopts solar lights, garden lights, lawn. With the new countryside, new construction of pastoral areas, but also in Golmud City, Airport Road, flower soil Town, West Town and other places to build solar street lamp demonstration project to improve agricultural and pastoral areas with energy methods, improving people's living standards.

 According to the European Photovoltaic Industry Association (European Photovoltaic Industry Association, EPIA) latest statistics released by the Spanish in 2008, is the world's largest solar market, followed by Germany; although the United States ranked third, but with a large gap between the top two .

Total 2008 global solar photovoltaic (PV) market from 2007's 2.4 (Gigawatts, GW) growth 5.5GW; expects this market to continue to expand, reaching 7GW scale. As provisioned solar PV capacity in 2008 the total size of 15GW; this data in 2007 as 9GW.

"Spanish to 2.5GW of new capacity in 2008 of the global cheap solar panels photovoltaic new provisioning 50% of the total scale; 1.5GW in Germany is based on a new building and power generation systems (connected systems), followed." EPIA said the United States last year to build a new solar photovoltaic production capacity was 342 MW; followed by South Korea, in 2008 a new building capacity 274MW.

Italy last year, new build capacity 260MW; others are solar photovoltaic capacity to build on the good performance of the national scale there are France, Portugal, Belgium and the Czech Republic, while Europe has thus continued to maintain global leadership in solar power.

And due to the global economic crisis, in 2009 the solar http://www.sungoldpower.co.uk/ photovoltaic industry is also facing challenges; "For example, Spain has recently revised the subsidy policy, might be 2009 global solar PV market produce market growth restriction; But from countries including the United States, Germany, France and geography and other national needs, hoping to fill the defect. "EPIA represents.

 Recently learned from Yangzhou Economic Development Zone, with a total installed capacity of 100 kilowatts of solar power demonstration power plant was put into operation recently, the future development zone "three new" public service center in the building no longer dependent on daily electricity transmission grid, but mainly by the solar demonstration power plant to provide electricity.

The solar power demonstration plant built in the west side of the public service center building. Total installed capacity of 100 kilowatts, a 50 kilowatts. Power is a set of tests, demonstrations, landscape, science and technology, environmental protection, energy conservation in one of the landmark solar DC to AC Converter power plant, a solar cell array, the DC junction boxes, grid inverter, AC distribution box, anti-backflow device monitoring system components .

Sunlight on the battery plate, produce direct current through the conductive wire busbar concentrated by the inverter means, into a high-voltage alternating. After calculation, the first year of the solar power generation of about 60,400 degrees, considering the efficiency of the solar cell module attenuation 20 years the average annual generation power plant is about 54,000 degrees, the average CO2 emissions of about 50 tons.

According to the person in charge zone, the plant used in solar cells, battery modules and upstream polysilicon, silicon, silicon, and all manufactured by the development zone enterprises, with independent intellectual property rights and independent brands. Among them, the average solar cell conversion efficiency of 17.5%, the system efficiency of over 85%. Judging from the test run, the technical indicators leading domestic and international. Successful demonstration power plant put into operation, it will boost the photovoltaic industry to accelerate the development of Yangzhou, currently has more than 50 megawatts of solar power generation demonstration power plant construction plans submitted for approval.
