The United States of New York city mayor Michael Bloomberg 15 in Times Square to enable the solar garbage bin ribbon, government of New York city to reduce pollution, increase the recycling rate series of measures prelude.

The first times square into use 30 solar garbage can cost $250000, by the private fund investment. The site said at a news conference, about 500000 people a day left in Times Square, 15300 tons of garbage, more than any other community in the city garbage. He urged visitors in accordance with the requirements of classification to throw garbage, together "will New York into a more clean, reduce pollution, energy conservation and sustainable development of the city".

Solar garbage bin sales director Rick Gaudet told Xinhua News Agency reporters, city hall at the end of this year in the city on the 1000 of the garbage box. This dustbin for ordinary garbage, newspapers, plastic bottles and cans recycling. Garbage bin is arranged at the top of a solar cell receiver, can compress the garbage, storage capacity is 5 times that of ordinary dustbin. When the bins are full of will send out a signal, the staff can see the signal and timely processing via the internet.

The opening of new small solar panels garbage bin is the government of New York city to improve the recycling rate, reduce the pollution of the city master plan part. City hall plans to 2017 will be the city's recycling double the total, including the construction of a new recycling plants, expansion of plastic waste recycling categories. In addition to food and other organic waste recycling program will also launch a new. New York city currently discarded every year up to 200000 tons of food, the food is the cost of $80 per tonne, and will spend the discarded food into fertilizer or energy much lower.

Recently, as one of the world's new energy leader, with solar energy, energy storage power station and electric car dream of the three Byd Company Limited announced that its solar modules have passed from the world's leading inspection, verification, testing and certification bodies SGS sand and dust test set according to IEC60068-2-68:1994MethodLa2 standard. This marks the BYD solar module entirely suitable for installation in desert regions (such as the Middle East).

BYD photovoltaic department general manager TomZhao said: "because of the application of solar panel manufacturers energy in the world, more and more regions need to use solar energy this clean energy; at the same time, customers also improves the solar component used in the desert area requirements. BYD the dust test SGS high standard, that our products can meet the requirements of different environments and customer needs."

"Xinjiang wind, solar and other new energy resources are very rich. Far, new energy Xinjiang has proven reserves of 800 million kilowatts. Now available for the development of new energy reserves in Xinjiang has more than one hundred million kilowatts, the actual The installed capacity of more than 300 million kilowatts, is also very small.

As can be seen, Xinjiang enormous potential for future development and the development of new energy. "National People's Congress, the party secretary of the Xinjiang New Energy (Group) Corporation, chairman of Wuhan Iron and Steel in two sessions during the interview with this reporter, On the Road. Reporter: Please tell us about the Xinjiang New Energy and Industrial. Wuhan Iron and Steel: The originator of the new energy industry in Xinjiang in 1986, is the early entry into the field of wind energy in China is also the world's regions, and has formed a relatively complete industrial chain.

At present, the development of new energy industry in Xinjiang has ushered in a historic opportunity for the country's industrial structure adjustment, the rise of strategic emerging industries, central Yuanjiang intensified. The regional party committee, the government last year to integrate the formation of Xinjiang New Energy Group. Today, this group of companies are actively develop strategic emerging industries, the formation of wind, solar charge controller technology development and application, and solid waste treatment and waste-to-energy and related environmental protection industry development, new energy and comprehensive utilization of modern agricultural development situation, its direction is developed into new energy localization backbone enterprises to promote the construction of the new industrialization of Xinjiang, to promote the rapid development of new energy industry in Xinjiang.

Wuhan Iron and Steel: Xinjiang to develop the biggest advantage lies in its resources, the biggest disadvantage is the distance. So, the Xinjiang Production and Construction focus is to bring a variety of channels built, if the channel is completed, Xinjiang this game of chess on the country's strategic support of the value of the structural adjustment and growth pattern can give full play to come out.

Channel construction, aviation, railway, highway, is a class of channels, oil and gas pipelines, power channel. The power channel resources in Xinjiang conversion, energy outgoing played a very important role. The last time the central work conference in Xinjiang determine channel the goal of building 30 million kilowatts electricity transportation from Xinjiang to the mainland, for the realization of the strategic framework of the national smart grid, Xinjiang electric delivery with westerly East "will play a very large facilitating role.

Bottleneck restricting the development of Xinjiang wind, charge controller and other new energy is not to send out "people strong and so on, very anxious, very urgent task. Break this bottleneck, the state authorities should be implemented as soon as possible and to promote the construction of a major thoroughfare of western the grid and eastern grid as soon as possible so that Xinjiang abundant wind energy and other new energy into electricity, and coal-fired electricity with baling East, accelerate the westerly East the process, this would both provide quality green electricity to the developed eastern power shortage provinces and cities, but also make the process of new industrialization in Xinjiang to speed up the benefit of the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang. Westerly countries to the East as to support Xinjiang, support an important content in Xinjiang.

Reporter: Next, Xinjiang New Energy Group under the theme of the times in the national innovation-driven strategies to consider?

Wuhan Iron and Steel: the use of wind power, solar energy this one, we have to continue to promote and increase the promotion of new products, new technologies, at the same time take into account environmental factors, seeking the latest, best, most efficient technology development in Xinjiang.

In particular, we propose a lookout, light, energy storage technologies, and agricultural organic combination, explore new energy applications in the fields of modern agriculture, planting, breeding, circular economy, do a better job of ecological protection of the article. Xinjiang per square kilometer of solar and wind energy are very rich, and we also hope that through such a demonstration can be more development and utilization of new energy.

France Energy, Ecology, Sustainable Development Department announced will have installed capacity of more than 250KW or greater of the total installed capacity of 400MW project to tender. The French government said in a statement: the important thing is the location of erosion development of photovoltaic power plants, so as to avoid the use of farmland conflict. But the ground-based power plants and rooftop projects will also be included. 

France bidding for 400MW of large-scale photovoltaic power station France Energy, Ecology, Sustainable Development Department has been abolished in the abolition of the bank deposit requirements prior to the submission of the subject in order to avoid the passive position of small and medium-sized companies in the bidding. 
Moreover, the bid will also consider the carbon footprint of the project and the project to increase the French innovation and R & D to make the contribution. 

Submit the bid deadline for the end of 2012, France cumulative PV installed capacity of 3.5GW. The 2013 minimum installed capacity of 500MW from last year to this year 1GW. According to CNN, said the latest report of the American how to build solar panels Energy Industries Association (SEIA), the 2012 growth of 76% to more than 3.3 GW of installed solar capacity, the highest level in history, enough to supply the electricity demand of 500,000 households. 

SEIA significant increase in installed solar capacity last year due to the decline in solar panel prices, stable tax incentives and financing options more. "We last year on the new line of solar energy to be more than the sum of the first three years of" SEIA president RhoneResch in the report said. "Each one solar panel is installed by American workers." It is estimated that the U.S. solar industry practitioners 119,000, an increase of 13% over last year. Expected installed solar capacity this year will be another record. 

Solar panel prices down 60% since the beginning of 2011, the the panel main material silicon to promote lower prices and large-scale investment in production capacity (especially investment) decline in panel prices. Although the proportion of solar energy in the total energy is less than 1%, but is expected to grow rapidly in the coming decades. In California, New Jersey and other lucrative subsidies and high tariffs, the state, the cost of solar is already competitive with other power. If you exclude a large number of subsidies and trade promotions, national new on solar energy prices are still more than the lowest-cost natural gas power generation more than doubled. 

Jin Wei as CEO, began under pain killers, the P2 dozens of production lines shut down, leaving only one production line. While in traditional photovoltaic market in Europe and the United States, China launched the dual investigations, for PV china solar panel exports set barriers, the Chinese market is becoming the world's largest emerging market competitors Yingli Jinko etc doing all they resorted to the price of a license.But the gold weft served as CEO, but tightly fastened sales price does not relent, project bidding price is lower than 3.9 yuan / watt in the country, the weft only allows Suntech domestic division shipped to a price of 4.1 yuan / watt, such a result in the second half of 2012, the largest orders of Suntech 100 MW photovoltaic - SUMEC company signed component supply strategic agreement fell through. 

Distraught Suntech domestic division vice president Thunder governance, occupy more than 30% of the market share in China, but control of the weft of the sales price, so within a year, the Suntech domestic market share shrink to 10% less. The weft so starting point for decision-making in its financial logic - the Chinese market sales prices low, carried a long period, it is not suitable for Suntech's financial position. But the decision-making and outdated. 

2012 domestic market share Yingli is also human evaluation at a loss to retreat into its founder Liansheng Miao internal speech, frankly, "(loss increased shipments) is also a very dangerous move, but also in capital chain can withstand the circumstances to do so. "Unfortunately, the debt-ridden Suntech unable to follow up, has lost share of the largest emerging markets it is also unable to comeback.Government or not as stringent as in the past, even behind Suntech. One insider said, "Mao Xiaoping (Wuxi Municipal Party Committee Secretary) Suntech leadership hair after stepping down, the new leadership is not necessarily recognized on the term of the account."

According to New Scientist reports, Fukushima, Japan after the 2011 earthquake, the tsunami and the nuclear accident, has been started in the agricultural production vigorously develop the application of solar energy. Place in the 1st distance Fukushima nuclear power plant 25 km, the new starting a solar Agricultural Park, Park photovoltaic solar panels to better meet the energy needs of their own agricultural production.

Fukushima rejuvenation the solar agricultural park has installed more than 2000 photovoltaic inverter to provide energy for the two vegetable greenhouses base. Currently, a large local supermarket chains bulk purchase of 64 tons of lettuce from the agricultural park. Half Valley Wing Shou (EijuHangai), chairman of the Agriculture Park, said: "The Fukushima nuclear accident destroyed the local community.

Since then, I vowed to find a feasible way to help the Fukushima disaster rehabilitation, which may require 20 or 30 years time. Semi Valley Wing Shou had served in the Tokyo Electric Power Company, in the months before the nuclear accident, he resigned from the Tokyo Electric Power Company.

Agricultural park to build a a unique inflatable greenhouse dome factory, looks like a wheel rotating container with a certain interval, the contents of the container crops, extending outward from the center, so that eliminates workers back and forth sowing and harvesting, workers all work in the middle of each wheel.

Aquatic cultivation of agricultural products are the vegetable greenhouses base within, temperature control is very important, precise temperature and humidity control the Agricultural Park through the computer system, to optimize the conditions means that crops can grow faster than normal conditions. Semi Valley Wing Shou their vegetable greenhouses base compared with traditional greenhouses, productivity and efficiency are improved doubled Agricultural Park grid connected inverter power to generate excess electricity to meet the electricity needs of 170 families, these power also could be sold to Tokyo Electric Power Company.

Semi Valley Rong Shou said: "The project of agricultural production and solar power are economically viable, it can set an example for the industrial reconstruction of the affected areas." The agricultural park covers an area of ​​2.4 hectares at the same time will also build an education institutions, to enhance the awareness of green energy of the primary and secondary school students.

In addition, solar Agricultural Park will also be involved in other projects in the Fukushima local, such as offshore wind power plant, and Japan's largest solar industry park, and thus help Fukushima achieve the goal of energy self-sufficiency by 2040 renewable.

2007, China solar cell industry is still rapid growth driven by domestic manufacturers of solar cells have increased yields. Produce 1MW solar cells on silicon consumption, driving the rapid development of the solar cell industry solar silicon market demand. Hynix and ST joint venture to build the 12 "production line put into operation in the field of semiconductors by SMIC in Beijing 12" production line capacity can enhance the favorable, driven, and domestic chip production line production can maintain a good level of semiconductor wafers market demand alsomaintaining good growth. Semiconductor and solar wafer market driven, the Chinese silicon market demand in 2007 than in 2007, an increase of 103.5%, the third consecutive annual growth rate of over 100%. And by the impact of the global polysilicon shortage, silicon prices continue to remain strong in 2007, the Chinese silicon market demand amounted to 21.21 billion yuan, an increase of 107.7% compared to 2006. 
   
   
   Occupy more than 90% of the market share of solar inverter manufacturers silicon market in China, the demand for silicon wafers, relative to the huge demand for solar energy market, the lower demand for semiconductor-grade silicon semiconductor wafers for purity requirements than and polished wafers and other products mainly its production process and the difficulty is much higher than solar-grade applications, which makes semiconductor wafer price is higher than solar applications. Higher average price of making a semiconductor wafer demand in 2007 amounted to 5.39 billion yuan, and its share of the market also increased to 25.4% from 6.6% of the demand. Solar wafer demand amounted to 15.82 billion yuan, the market share of a decrease of 18.8% compared to the demand, accounting for 74.6% of the overall market. Both from the demand exceeds or demand point of view, the field of solar energy has become the main consumption of silicon. 
    
    
   Crystalline silicon solar cells divided into monocrystalline silicon cells, polycrystalline silicon cells and thin-film crystalline silicon solar cells. The monocrystalline silicon cells with a high conversion rate, good stability, but also has a higher cost of less than. Polysilicon battery having stable conversion efficiency, but the highest cost performance. Crystal furnace initial small investment enterprise engaged in the production of solar cells monocrystalline silicon wafers than casting multicrystalline wafers, monocrystalline silicon cells therefore occupy the main position of the domestic solar battery. But with Ningbo wafer solar Co., Ltd., Baoding Yingli New Energy Resources Co., Ltd., Jiangxi LDK Solar Hi-Tech Co., Ltd., refinement Shaoxing Solar Energy Technology Co., Ltd., polycrystalline silicon wafer production capacity is increasing, the the domestic ingot polysilicon film isThe rapid development momentum, polysilicon films will be the development direction of solar wafers. 
    
    
   Technically less demanding solar wafers, barriers to entry are relatively low, in the huge market demand driven, in addition to some semiconductor wafer production enterprises to enter the market in the case of optimistic about the solar market demand, domestic also appeared in many franchise Solar wafer production enterprises. These companies have formed a number of competitive strength of off grid inverter silicon production enterprises, but is limited by the technical strength of the various manufacturers uneven, there are still a number of the strength of the weak, the production is not standardized enterprise exists, the scale is generally small, strong technical strength enterprise, the quality of their products is unstable.Domestic at this stage due to the lack of industry or national standards, the lack of standard monitoring environment, the rapid growth in the number of enterprises, as well as uneven enterprise strength easily disrupt the normal market order, and at the same time be jointly and severally affect some solar wafers the poor performance of the enterprise will also give the semiconductor silicon wafer manufacturer to bring some negative impact. In order to safeguard the normal market competition order, between enterprises, industry associations, and government should be a joint enterprise to strengthen their own strength, focus on brand building, to ensure that the long-term health of the enterprise development. 
    
    
   In recent years, the polysilicon material continuing shortage of silicon prices continue to rise. Due to the higher requirements of polysilicon production technology, production technology rests in the hands of the few manufacturers. In recent years, in order to alleviate the problem of the shortage of polysilicon, the world's leading producers of polysilicon has been expanding its production capacity of polysilicon production growth rate is lower than the demand speed. Domestic producers due to the many limitations of the technology, capital and other large-scale production of polycrystalline silicon semiconductor grade polysilicon enterprises especially small, domestic demand for polysilicon is mainly dependent on imports, so that the global polysilicon supply situation will directly affect The price of the domestic silicon products. 
    
   
   At present, the global polysilicon is still in short supply, this phenomenon is expected to continue in the coming years. With the growth of the polysilicon production, supply and demand for polysilicon in 2009 may be a certain degree of ease, but the shortage of polysilicon still can not get rid of the status quo in the near future. Affected by the upstream material supply, solar and semiconductor grade silicon prices continue to remain strong.
