Solar cells and Vista polysilicon prices continue to grow for Laptop Batteries
According to Taiwan’s Commercial Times news, although the world’s leading polysilicon material (Polysilicon) supplier actively expansion last year, but the global semiconductor and solar cell production capacity also continue to grow, increasing demand for polysilicon materials, Hemlock, therefore including the United States and Japan, Tokuyama (Tokuyama) and other supply giant set out in the first quarter price rose 15 percent from a year earlier and above, the semiconductor with the high-purity Apple Battery polysilicon per kilogram pricing 80-85 U.S. dollars, Solar Cells Price per kilogram of polysilicon 60-65 U.S. dollars.
Kushou the last half of the world’s semiconductor plant suffered excess inventory, wafer foundries and integrated components manufacturer (IDM) a marked decline in capacity utilization, the original market that polysilicon shortage problems can get a little ease, yet because of Microsoft’s new the upcoming Vista operating system, the impact, DRAM prices to stay high in the fourth quarter did not fall, the global DRAM factories are 12-inch plant increase its investment to expand production capacity, as NAND suppliers Samsung, Toshiba, Hynix, are also in order to fight for market share, last year’s resolution Four Seasons silicon surge doubled as compared to the same period the previous year, so demand for semiconductors continue to increase with the polysilicon material in short supply market conditions remain unchanged.
In the solar market, part of the semiconductor plant last year, as many have been put into solar markets, such as Powerchip, Mao-silicon solar cells on the active production program, of course, pre-existing businesses, such as Motech, E-TON, Sharp, etc., are also optimistic about the future of Solar comprehensive business expansion, so even if the recent U.S. and European markets solar cell prices are no longer rising, the industry is still estimated in the next eight years, solar cell production capacity is 30% compound annual growth rate of fast-growing, so demand for polysilicon a stronger is fast, A1008, A1012 the same phenomenon did not see demand weakening.
In the semiconductor and solar cell market demand continues to expand, although the Hemlock, Tokuyama, REC, Wacker, MEMC polysilicon suppliers and other global top five last year, build a new factory has been put into the work, it is necessary to wait until the result of the new capacity in the first half of next year it bears flowers, in the polysilicon shortage market conditions have become more serious circumstances, Hemlock and Tokuyama recently opened the first quarter of the contract set out the price advantage of the opportunity, as expected, rises in the price.
According to foreign media, China has adopted a new comprehensive energy law A1022, A1039 two years after its solar energy industry is a large-scale access to the world market.
The U.S. solar market, experts say the future of thin-film solar energy products. He said the film product is a traditional black roof solar panels are now innovations. It is very thin, but conversion sunshine and high efficiency. As more and more Chinese film products into the market, prices, margins will shrink.
This expert predicts that the future of thin-film solar products are the winner, as compared with silicon and low prices for more than money. The lack of solar-grade refined silicon photonics products to traditional prices, this shortage will not ease in 2008.
According to industry said that it is from China’s Suntech solar products to the world market, the only beach-goers, their products have to go abroad. Many companies also wanted the same thing. The company signed a contract with Germany next year will be the German company’s global projects photoelectron templates, the total value of 270 million U.S. dollars.
SolarfunPower one of the smaller companies have followed the global trend and SolarfunPower company announced in January this year, a new distribution agreement. Under the agreement, Solarfun will be in the next three years, Spain’s solar power project templates 140,000 kilowatts. In 2007 the contract value of 40 million -5000 million. Solarfun the company stressed that their goal is to increase international sales, the company believes deal will increase a company’s current market share, improve product visibility in Spain. Solarfun companies believe that their optoelectronic products will be in Spain, Italy and other emerging markets in Europe to maintain high growth A1057, A1060 rates.
According to press reports, 7% of China’s energy demand will come from new energy sources.
The new energy law in 2005 called for new energy sources by 2020 provided the country’s total energy consumption accounted for 10%.
Industry sources said the Chinese government to listen to expert advice and intelligent people who made the decision to implement his policies. 2008 Olympic Games is another reason. These led in 2005 to become the number one national energy policy must perform tasks. Government’s support for solar There are many ways, they provide research funding to universities to promote technology transfer. Local investors – provincial, county or city, play a very important role. The central government, mainly through policy changes (such as the 2005 Energy Policy) on their green light.
Not all observers agree that the optimistic view, China Sustainable Energy Program of electricity and new energy A1061 officials said the manufacturers to expand production, but he did not find the domestic installation of solar power generation device driver. Right now solar power without a strong stimulus package, most manufacturers focus on exports, then the value of public investors in the domestic rural electrification projects.
Florida International University academics were not so, he believes that China focus on water heater solar energy products, and has done quite successful. Chinese solar companies in China are doing pretty well, because the technology is mature and market demand, as well as thrifty in the hearts of Chinese people lightly. 2005 law requires that all new construction and installation of small solar water heaters.
The European launch of polymer solar cells
2007-4-24, several European research institutions (including the Swiss State Secretariat for Education and Research) has announced that the latest collaborative R & D results: weighs only two grams of polymer solar cells, can be used in smart cards and music design of mobile phones .
This polymer polymer battery less than a millimeter thick, can produce 0.6 volts of current through the battery and can be added to increase the current to bring an extra bar.
It is reported that the battery can absorb the sun light and artificial lighting, is designed for those who A1078, A1079 “relies heavily on mobile phones to communicate with people” design. However, such as office lighting, there may be too weak to generate enough current.
