Solarfun Power and the U.S. signed an agreement photovoltaic technology
United States, a private technology company - Innovalight, Inc. Today announced PV module manufacturers in China - Solarfun Power (SOLF, 10.81, -2.35%) signed a three-year commercial agreement.
Innovalight has a silicon-based nano-ink technology (silicon ink) patented technology and provides related platform technology license. The platform technology enables the upgrade of photovoltaic cell production line, so as to enhance the performance of photovoltaic cells and reduce production costs. Silicon ink technology through a patented unique Innovalight ink jet printing method to produce photovoltaic panels.
Back in 2007, California has been declared Innovalight production technologies and processes that can reduce the production cost of PV modules half, and has a higher photoelectric conversion efficiency.
Previously, Innovalight conducted an independent study of the technology, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and the German research institute Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems confirmed that this ink technology to produce crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules , can produce up to 18% of the photoelectric conversion efficiency.
Solarfun Power recently announced plans to increase the production of photovoltaic panels in the photoelectric conversion rates. Innovalight signed in accordance with the commercial agreement, Solarfun Power photovoltaic cells will be the authorization of new production technology of crystalline silicon from Innovalight buy ink to produce high conversion rate of polycrystalline silicon photovoltaic solar panels.
Kyocera solar modules for “long-term test”
Kyocera has announced that its main 210-watt solar modules by the German Rheinland Japan's "long-term test" of the preliminary test, independent assessment of solar modules of the quality and reliability.
According to a statement, long-term continuous testing by a third party certification bodies - Germany Rhine technology companies on the solar modules were tested in four areas: heat, thermal cycling and humidity freeze, bypass diodes. These tests than in accordance with International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) also strict conditions designed to test components all-round performance and quality. In addition, the company reported that each sub-test with the traditional application of the different individual components of the test mode is used long-term continuous test panels in the same four sub-components of the test conducted on the same model. Thus, those who actually use it with the situation of appears closer to achieve a good evaluation results.
Said, 210 watts of solar modules have passed the four technology companies Rheinland tests to demonstrate that our component has always been a stable output power, with the traditional industrial testing methods compared to the two sub-tests take longer time. Currently, the company during the rest of the test. Humidity is expected to freeze and bypass diodes in the two tests will be completed in December 2010.
2015 cost of halving the car battery
China Automotive Safety and Energy, Director of State Key Laboratory of High Ouyang Ming in Shanghai, said China's market has to determine the selection of lithium iron phosphate-based battery technology is expected by 2015, electric car ownership reached 100 million, power battery capacity of 100 billion watts, car batteries, costs will be reduced by half.
He is in the SAIC Group and General Motors on October 15 at the Shanghai World Expo, held jointly Automotive Museum, "2030 World Expo will direct the sustainable development of the automotive industry," concluded the forum made the remarks. Ouyang Ming Gao is the energy-saving and new energy vehicles 863 major projects team leader, but also the automotive industry, "second Five-Year" plan members of the Group.
According to China Securities News, understanding at the meeting, the NDRC, the Ministry of Industry, Science and Technology are in the early development of new energy vehicles and related policies. Ministry of Science and led by the "electric vehicle technology development," second five "special plan" has been developed is completed, China's plans to promote the development of electric vehicles, industrial chain, battery, motor, electric control as the core of future development.
Ouyang Ming Gao said that power electric cars and small relative to the trend of convergence of the two is the "second five" and after the direction of small electric cars already have commercial potential and technical maturity.
At present, China electric vehicle demonstration project has reached million level, but the batteries are very expensive. Ouyang Ming Gao believes that the current battery energy than is relatively low, difficult to fully meet the needs of mid-level cars. The current focus is the demonstration of the Government subsidy, especially in transit-focused model. In the cost of hybrid, there are still challenges such as fuel cells remain in the forefront of short-term oriented.
Forum gap in the day, SAIC chairman Hu Maoyuan said SAIC vehicle drive power of new energy trend of targeting specific technology development route is the main direction of electric power to drive. In accordance with the Group's 'second five' plan, SAIC 2015, the goal of new energy vehicles will be synchronized in the traditional market share of car market share to reach 20%.
Nissan electric vehicle market competition for eight years battery warranty
New energy into the national strategic and emerging industries, new energy vehicles and lithium batteries directly benefit. Managing Director of Nissan Hashimoto Taizhao investment is expected in 2020 China's new energy vehicles on our roads will account for 20% of the share. As the state and local subsidies for new energy vehicles have been issued the policy, the new energy vehicle market share of the increasingly intense rivalry, in order to compete for market share, the manufacturers have played a different banner.
By General Motors for the purchase of its Volt electric car program provides U.S. consumers a period of 36 months, down $ 2,500, as low as $ 360 per month rental program, but also for the Volt provides for 8 years or 16 thousand kilometers of long quality security services. In addition, the federal government for the purchase of U.S. consumers Volt maximum $ 7,500 of personal income tax credit limit. General Motors estimated that, Volt in 2011 will reach around 10,000
Nissan and GM volt to fight for market, will hear the wind in the battery to provide 8 years / 100,000 miles warranty, and the official end of the year in 2010 in Japan, North America, Europe, started selling in 2012, worldwide sales . 8 year warranty with, Volt Master wind than 60,000 km above the choice, if not highlight the advantages in price, Nissan snatch GM electric car market there is no chance of winning a few minutes.
TI greatly enhance the mobile phone battery
Yesterday, Texas Instruments Semiconductor Manufacturing (Chengdu) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "TI Chengdu") opened in Chengdu. According to Xie Bing, chairman of TI, Chengdu, TI Texas Instruments, Chengdu, global production chain as a very important part of the world to provide "Chengdu-made" wafer.
"The first quarter of next year, TI will produce the first set of products in Chengdu." Xie told reporters that soldiers, TI Chengdu's first set of products will be used for power management, "This product will greatly extend the battery usage time of equipment in the equipment of the product such as mobile phone batteries and other power equipment will greatly enhance the use of time. "future" Chengdu-made "Texas Instruments products will supply the world," which will promote the semiconductor industry chain, the improvement in Chengdu, Chengdu increase in high-tech manufacturing and IC industry, a global influence.
