IMEC crystalline silicon technology is still developing in the solar cell highlight of this one, but also in trying to adopt IMEC silicon thin film, composite materials and a group of materials for solar cell technology. "Crystalline silicon solar cells in the solar cell market share of 90% of the share, and over the next 10 years will continue to maintain this ratio, the" European Institute of Electronics R & D Section Head JefPoortmans expressed PV projects. 

   Poortmans said that, IMEC's ​​solar cell development program is the introduction of efficiency greater than 20% and the materials used weighs only one gram of silicon solar cells. European project in 2020 to make solar power generation capacity of 400G Watt, 12% of its total electricity supply. Such R & D projects will help Europe achieve this energy goals. 

   "The sun's daily production of 165,000 too watt solar controller (TeraWatt), as long as we get from the small part of the energy to solve the energy crisis on towards a major step forward", IMCE COO LucVandenhove representation. "We are now facing the biggest technical challenge is how to reduce the cost of solar cell power and efficiency." 

   IMEC's ​​JefPoortmans believe that in the next 10 years, the crystalline silicon solar cell technology will become mainstream technology research and development. Poortmans that the use of other membrane materials (such as cadmium telluride) of solar panels cost than crystalline silicon-based solar panels will be more limited. 

   Poortmans said, "I personally convinced that in the next five years, cadmium telluride technology (R & D in the field of solar cells) have a place, but once we have to offer each year tens of G watts of energy, so they use a substrate (such as tellurium ) the supply will be limited. " 

   "With the technology companies, such as FirstSolar will find new mines got them going." FirstSolar emerging from a film company has grown into the top ten solar panel manufacturer. IMEC plans to launch in 2020 of only 40 microns thick crystalline silicon solar cells and the thickness of only five micron silicon thin film solar cells. The cost of these batteries is expected to decline 2.5 times per peak watt (peakWatt) to be less than one euro.

 As people's living standards improve, more and more people on the planet need to consume more energy - particularly in emerging markets, global energy demand reached unprecedented highs. Meanwhile, in order to protect the natural environment, human for cleaner and sustainable energy demand continues to grow, solar energy will continue to be to meet the Chinese and global demand for energy is one of the best solutions.

For the global PV market, we started to see that in some capacity rationalization PV markets such as the European. But at the same time, we also see a lot of new growth points, particularly in emerging markets; as well as in the field of public utilities. Advanced component technology, declining costs and grid capabilities have allowed large-scale grid-connected solar power plants as a viable energy source. In some areas of the grid fails, the existing sources of electricity by a liquid hydrocarbon fuels based on reciprocating engine produces, in such areas, polycrystalline solar panels energy has important economic significance.

In the high-growth regional aspects, obviously, in the Middle East is one of the most exciting markets. Potential for solar energy development in the region is evident. For example, in Saudi Arabia, they are consumed during the third generation of hydrocarbons. Taking into account the demographic, economic and social growth in consumption, if they do nothing, by 2020, the power generation process will burn 50% of the hydrocarbons.

Therefore, they must pass an open market, reducing the consumption of hydrocarbons, and choose a better technology to generate electricity. flexible solar panels offers an attractive alternative. Thus, Saudi Arabia announced that 40 gigawatts (GW) of photovoltaic program is also expected. Middle East and other regions with a similar situation, we saw a similar opportunity.

India is also a very interesting market. They have a billion people in low energy consumption levels, and largely still using liquid fuels - so there will be a solar energy development in the Indian market space; expected to be about 25-35GW. In Latin America, Chile, for example, has the world's highest levels of sunshine, but they face a serious energy shortage, or to hydrocarbon fuels. If they wish to promote economic growth, then they must use renewable energy sources, including solar energy. Thus, Latin America is another exciting market.

In the Asia Pacific region (APAC), Australia, Indonesia, Thailand, especially in Japan, have exciting opportunities. In China, we all know, the Chinese government has set ambitious solar energy development goals. By 2015, the goal is to installed capacity of over 21GW (and may even exceed 35GW). The State Department also has put photovoltaic industry into strategic emerging industries, at many levels contribute to national development. Annual growth of 10-12GW, China will undoubtedly become the world's largest solar photovoltaic market.

 Looking back, in 2001, China joined the WTO decision, making the country's economy in an irreversible way to become a part of the world trading system, and with the rest of the world struggling linked together. Despite widespread controversy, but this decision was later proved to be one of China's most correct action.

Since joining the WTO, China's exports from less than $ 300 billion had soared to $ 2.1 trillion in 2012. Even when subjected to weak demand in key export markets and the RMB exchange rate continued strength two resistance 2012, China still achieved 7.9 percent growth in exports and became the world's largest trading nation.

China's accession to the world and its own economy into a strong driving force for the world market with a large number of highly efficient workforce. Now we can finally feel that China is the impact on the world economy: inflation subsided, interest rates down, people's purchasing power is growing. This is one of the world's largest economies of China free trade brought about a win-win model.

However, China's dramatic appearance on the world stage, was to be China massing and economic strength of the country's increasingly scared to resist. This resistance most of the time by the U.S. against China at the WTO brought a large number of anti-dumping proceedings and conduction. Some successful, but most of the time failed. Other means of containing China, including concocted special safeguard mechanism, does not recognize China as a market economy, as well as eight years after China's accession to re-audit to ensure that it complied with the terms of the original.

In the past the U.S. boycott of Chinese imports is the most intense countries, but recent European stance on China's trade has become more aggressive. Last year, EU Competition Commissioner Carlo De Gu Hete initiated a Chinese buy solar cell exports to Europe price survey. The findings published in May, he announced that within the EU imports from China imposed a solar panel from 37% to 67% of the tariff, far higher than the current 3.3%.

The policy will take effect on June 6, such as six months after the EU Member States to continue to support, will become a permanent policy. These tariffs are punitive in nature. Even high barriers to countries such as Brazil and India, similar products tariff levels were only 14% and 7.5%.

 Flexible plastic back plate and strip plate for the integration of photovoltaic products, opens the door to new applications. So far, however, the integration of photovoltaic products produced by the photoelectric conversion efficiency of only the traditional process of crystalline silicon solar cells by half. 

Recent Caltech physics professor Harry Atwater and his research team developed a new way of preparing batteries, this approach requires only very little silicon material. New technologies for the needs of only the traditional silicon technology 1% to 2%. "Our technology needs only the traditional process of silicon material 1/50 to 1/100 between", HarryAtwater says, "The technology to evenly The line-shaped silicon base classes, based on the absorption of light as well as the collection and conventional battery photoelectrons not much difference. " 

Pipeline that smile stacked on a silicon substrate under the microscope, showing the brush shape. Since conventional batteries are based on expensive high-purity silicon material, so this design or have a high economic value. 
What does this mean? Manufacturing performance in the integration of photovoltaic diy solar panels products with only 1% to 2% of the silicon material. As the cost of conventional crystalline silicon cells silicon accounted for 2/3 of the value of this technology for material savings showing its huge market potential. 

Strengthen the control of light scattering and thus enhance the conversion efficiency of silicon photovoltaic china solar panel materials are the foundation, you might think so using less silicon material will affect the conversion power, the actual not as you think, Atwater said that this technology also has good optical conversion. 

Flexible, sheet valued one important reason is that this material can be bent, you can imagine, they can be installed on top of any shape, such as: car roof top of the ship, or any non-flat surface. 

Caltech professor, said his commercial operation of this technology is very optimistic, because this technology is based on conventional technology improvements, and not require large movements. He also said that this will help greatly reduce the cost of photovoltaic power. 

Solar power is the most favorable place, anywhere in the world can receive sunlight, thick clouds of the Nordic whether or sunny in North Africa or Australia, and South Asia. This is the solar energy can go the root cause of the world. 

 Recently, Taian Ningyang with Huang Ming Solar Energy Group signed a strategic cooperation in the book, the two sides agreed, and strive to three years, promoting the use of solar energy in ningyang 120,000 square meters, in order to achieve Ningyang government to build "China promote the use of solar energy first county "target.

    "Solar energy is not only economical, but more importantly is the energy conservation, the election to choose partners trust the government and the people of the brand." Ningyang Energy Office Director Jiang Wei brought that to ease the pressure on energy saving, energy-saving Ningyang actively open up new way, the development of solar energy, straw burning power generation projects. Recently, Ningyang government proposed to create "the first county in China promote the use of power converter energy", they chose to partner with Emperor Ming Huang Ming Solar is the value of the brand and quality.

    Strategic cooperation in the book, Ningyang government and Himin agreement: strive to 3 years, in the county promote the use of all kinds of Emperor Ming of 120,000 square meters of solar products, users can enjoy no less than 15% of the cost of the special grant funds.

    Huang Ming Solar Energy Group, the relevant responsible person said, in order to boost ningyang early realization "Solar first county" objective, Emperor Ming Company timely adjusted its strategy for ningyang provide a more favorable price and better service. Preliminary estimates, only this solar one, Ningyang year can save about 30,000 tons of coal.
