we should not be worried for Germany PV price falling

January 31st, 2010

France in Europe this year, is known to be the first to buy back the roof to generate solar electricity subsidies, feed-in tariff) rates will be reduced by about 24%, due to the total amount of solar France is relatively small, so that the impact on the market is not great. But Germany as a leading solar energy company in the world power,VGP-BPL8 , VGP-BPL8A ,VGP-BPL9  the reduction of subsidies on the global Solar Energy industry, the impact of a greater German role in the industry benchmark (Germany in 2009, installed capacity of up to 25 billion watts or more, on global market share of more than 50%), could also urged other countries such as Italy, the adopted measures to reduce the subsidies.
Undoubtedly, the practice of short-term in the solar industry in Germany is on in full swing poured cold water, but the long term, we believe that this will benefit the entire industry. Since the emergence of a new preferred form of energy in its early growth process of the government policy to growth for its early support is very important, we note that in recent years, European countries frequently issued preferential policies, but the growth of a new industry, it will be able to survive completely separate market-oriented environment is the most important and profitable to reduce the government subsidy policy gradually and finally start to be inevitable. Photovoltaic industry in Europe, North America and Japan at the start, subsidized for a long time, the whole industry chain is already very mature, and already has a certain ability to withstand risks, and a corresponding reduction in subsidies would be more conducive to independent development of the industry.
From the development of the industry status quo of view, the important position of the photovoltaic industry is no doubt that the future of the global PV market significantly increase capacity, economies of scale will reduce costs. From 2008, the world’s total PV installed capacity has reached 14730MW, the last five years at a rate of more than 39%, an annual increase in installed capacity also showed a significant increase in the trend is expected in 2009 newly installed capacity reached 6802MW, 2010, there will 10790MW . reach From 2009, three quarters of the largest battery manufacturers shipments have increased expected sales of Yingli from 450MW to 490MW, 600 MW of Suntech sales of 660mW. The increase in the size of the unit installed to bring lower costs for electricity generation, solar battery cost per watt, is the beginning of 2008 at about $ 3 per watt has been falling to about $ 1.3 now. Therefore we may think that to eliminate the future costs of the battery gradually reduce subsidies to offset in large part by rising operational costs, is the photovoltaic industry in the future is bright.

Investment advice:

We believe that the domestic photovoltaic industry in a period of rapid growth, reaching the level of Europe at that time, there is still a long way to go, so for a long time only a VGP-BPS10A/B,VGP-BPS10B,VGP-BPS11 ,VGP-BPL2C good policy to promote the development of the industry and we remain optimistic about the domestic PV industry and associated companies. In order to focus on “the Emperor Bao-change”, “Aerospace Electrical and Mechanical Services,” “New expansion is” Hai Tong Group. “

$350 million for electric car company boosting

January 27th, 2010

 An Israeli-American entrepreneur has brought in a $350 million investment to help finance his ambitious plan to lay down the world’s first electric car grid by next year, his company announced Tuesday.

Project Better Place said it signed an agreement Dell Inspiron 1520 batteryDell Inspiron 1521 batteryDell Inspiron 1525 battery with an HSBC-led investor consortium that marks one of the largest clean-tech investments in history. Other investors included Morgan Stanley Investment Management and Lazard Asset Management.

Better Place’s founder, 41-year-old Shai Agassi, called the HSBC move a “validating step of investing in a private company intent on bringing innovation to the trillion-dollar automotive and energy industries.” Agassi’s company is valued at $1.25 billion with the new financing.

The project’s backers say the electric car would drastically reduce oil dependence, cut carbon emissions and blaze a trail for more environmentally friendly means of transportation. But experts caution that technical pitfalls, such as a limited battery range, must be overcome before the car will be marketable.

Another looming challenge is the huge investment needed in charging stations for the cars.

Other car manufacturers are gambling on gas-electric hybrids as the green cars of the immediate future, but the HSBC-led investment signals growing confidence in the fully electric model.

Israel’s government endorsed the project two years ago, and the country is slated to be the first to have electric cars on its highways in large numbers, starting next year.

The Danish energy company DONG Energy AS has adopted the Better Place model and plans to have thousands of cars running on electricity generated by wind turbines by 2011.

The Israeli project is a joint venture between Renault-Nissan, which will provide the electric vehicles, and Agassi’s Silicon Valley-based startup Project Better Place, which will operate the recharging grid. The replacement and charging of the lithium-ion batteries is supposed to work like cell phone batteries.

Drivers will pay a monthly subscription for the batteries, with different plans like those of cell phone users. The company says the rates will come to less than the average monthly expenditure on gasoline.

As part of the deal, HSBC’s head of global capital financing, Kevin Adeson, will join Better Place’s board of directors and HSBC will own approximately 10 percent of the company’s shares.

“We are confident that Better Place has the technical and commercial solutions to allow for the mass adoption of electric cars in the near term,” Adeson said in a statement.

“The Better Place switchable battery solution, which addresses the range limitation of fixed battery electric cars, will offer the consumer an affordable and attractive alternative to current combustion engine and hybrid vehicles.”

Israel has been touted as the ideal laboratory toGW240G1947RN873Y6142,GK479  test Agassi’s vision because of its high gasoline prices (around $6.30 a gallon), dense population centers and supportive government. Some 90 percent of Israeli car owners drive less than 45 miles per day, and the country’s major urban centers are less than 100 miles apart, making the use of battery operated cars more feasible than in countries with longer commutes.

Green cars are also particularly attractive to Israel, which hopes to weaken the political clout of its oil-rich enemies.

New Chevy Volt For a Test Drive

January 26th, 2010

Washington Auto Show to the public. One of the biggest attractions will be the Chevrolet Volt, a new electric vehicles.

General Motors to the media, including ABC 7, Dell XPS M1330 battery,Dell XPS M1530 battery , Dell XPS M170 battery Chris Cliff, members of Congress and a few other people have access to behind the wheel of the Chevrolet cars, mainly its future bet. Plug-in electric car may impact on GM’s recovery.

Three years ago, V is just a concept, because it is the lack of battery technology to the country. Now the car is ready to go.
Vehicle safety, the researchers said in August Burgett V, “handling, acceleration, smooth ride, impressive performance.”

“What is the most prominent motor and electric drive system, which was only silence when you drive added:” Trent Dawoenke, voltage development engineer.

Core is a four-car – British Pound Sterling lithium-ion battery, running in the cabin. This will get 40 miles on a single charge. If you continue driving gas-fired generating machine between 300 and 400 have been extended the scope of racing miles. This is different from most of the kick when you exceed a certain speed into the hybrid engine. Plug into a standard socket it, give it full eight hours of battery time.

According to Chevrolet spokesman Robpedeson, “This is a very environmentally friendly vehicle capacity of being the first car of the family, can do everything.”

As promised, the first thing you will notice that when you press the start button is the purchase price to remain silent. Even in the engine speed there is very little noise.

In sports mode, the voltage to accelerate rapidly, the maximum speed of about 100.

This is a high-level science and technology from its appearance and inner feelings. From your smartphone, you can start the car, warm up, cool down or tell it when to charge.

“A lot of people say they feel that they are promoting their iPod,” Peterson said.

In most cases, motor vehicle drivers from the test Tuesday highly. A phenomenon is that the back seat a little bit comfortable.

The car is expected to Dell XPS M1710 battery , Dell XPS M1730 battery be on our floor space of 11 months or 12 months. The price has not been announced, but there is speculation that may be up to 40,000 yuan, but the 7500 U.S. dollars in tax credits.

Guard against a relapse into a monopoly charging station cycle

January 25th, 2010

” National Grid, China Southern Power Grid, CNOOC’s oil prep race there is …  and the Sino-pekipnida. Gian - all the central thrust of his company’s participation claims monitoring stations, HD438 KD186 Y9943 FK890 RN873 ,NF343the threshold is not high technology, does not require the amount of money. charging station of the market, the table does not shut down a big cake, ambiguous already been planted, “the central company’s proprietary” tag, and the deep power resources The reason for sitting on the gas network in the country, a high level of exclusivity.

Control of the advantages of using the power supply, power station company, “” I promise you can charge the monopoly. Looking at the current public information, also in terms of pure electric vehicle powered by two power grid companies out of 12 is not hard to find, charge, rather than providing services directly to the battery replacement service is preferred. As the charge, the central level, private enterprises and foreign investors the same for the two major power companies will not be able to ignore related.

The power of the downstream revenue pie, the two power companies to charge undoubtedly show up for the electricity supply is proprietary capital. If you are not in the terminal penetration, only the upstream suppliers of power stations are charging. In the future, the popularity of charging station charging station for the benefit of electricity sold by the owner set up his eyes, the side benefit of station owners and builders are welcome. The future of electric cars in the large-scale development purposes, two grids, a number of major cities at once, charging stations, terminal layout, acceptance, and future replacement of the gas stations charge you know, the power company and the state oil company, now you can have a significant .

This China National Petroleum, natural gas, the gas station behind CNOOC’s layout takes the very clearly. Although CNOOC Ltd. does not manufacture a car that can deliver the energy companies concerned, but the battery replacement stations to review the possibility of construction of the national network. July last year, CNOOC Tianjin Lishen Battery Co., Ltd. of 50 billion yuan (732 million), Tianjin City, 20 new plant investment in battery production line. God of the California power company set up a joint venture with Koda the car. Koda vehicle sales plan for 2010 in California, the second half of God’s pure electric vehicle battery power is used.

The electric car charging stations, as well as overseas construction can save the land for the construction of cloth points, depending on the existing petrol station, but is not necessary to repeat the trend of the layout. The current policy is not evident in the situation, a large number of gas stations nationwide, and KD476 TD347 U4873 D5318 G5266 Sino-point of PetroChina pekui kept silent. Silence, silence does not give the opposite meaning reflects the solid foundation - the market is maturing foreign models to point to refer to the cloth around the petrol station is too old, “depending on the petrochemical & Hutch”?

In addition, construction of terminal facilities, and power companies for early completion of the internal standard in the charging station is expected to end as a national standard. The undercover “surveillance, and two of them claimed to accelerate the power,” the root cause of the speed. This is the future of China’s vehicle charging station in the market continue to be puzzled face oligopoly means.

For this reason, the domestic industry for electric cars charged yeokbuteo order to start the race, including the target of a variety of investments, and the standard of early intervention, developing a good program, encourage private capital department-related functions,.

A $500 iSlate with a long-lasting battery

January 22nd, 2010

OLED display, and movies – the top features of Apple’s rumored tablet will be the price and battery life. If the iSlate is really Apple’s next big thing, it shouldn’t cost more than $500 or force us into another monthly data plan – and it absolutely must run at least six hours on a single charge (solar charging would be a plus).

As you know, Apple’s rumored tablet could debut at a media event next Wednesday, 10am Pacific time, at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. As the day draws closer, analysts are running spreadsheets and polling would-be consumers in order to figure out what people want from an alleged 10-inch apple MacBook Pro 15 inch batteryapple PowerBook G4 12 inch batteryapple PowerBook G4 15 inch batteryA1045multitouch gizmo and determine a possible impact of this thing on Apple’s fortunes. Make no mistake about it – the iSlate has a chance to emerge as Apple’s next big thing provided the company plays its cards right. If not, the gadget could easily file as a dud and die a slow death as a niche offering, like so many tablets before it. Analysts see a huge window of opportunity for the rumored device.

According to RBC Capital Markets’ analyst Mike Abramsky, the iSlate is likely to become a nearly $3 billion business. His assumption is based on a $600 price point, an estimated sales of five million units throughout 2010 and a 30 percent gross margin – all totalling to a $2.8 billion of additional revenue. The figure includes an estimated three  percent Mac and iPod touch cannibalization and would represent a six percent increase in Apple’s total revenue, adding 30 cents EPS to Apple’s stock, Abramsky explained in a note to clients Friday. He also wrote that “anticipation for an Apple Tablet resembles that of Moses bringing down the 10 Commandments.”

The analyst has estimated sweet price point at $500. This is the right price that would make the iSlate a mass market consumer gadget that could sell millions of units and up Apple’s revenues by a cool $4.2 billion (42 cents EPS). Abramsky has envisioned two possible iSlate versions: WiFi/3G and WiFi only, priced at $500-$700 and $200-$300 unsubsidized and subsidized, respectively.

A recent ChangeWave survey echoed RBC’s data points, confirming that consumers are reluctant to spend more than $700 on the iSlate. More precisely, three quarters of interested consumers said they’d pay $500 or more for the iSlate and 37 percent would be willing to hand over more than $700 in exchange for the tablet. Overall, 18 percent of computer buyers said they would be “likely” to buy the iSlate when it becomes available.

ChangeWave’s findings have been corroborated by a Retrevo Pulse Report survey that polled 500 randomly selected people between January 16 and January 20, 2010. According to the study, most respondents would take the plunge if the iSlate is priced between $500 and $799. However, 70 percent respondents specifically said anything above $700 would be a deal killer. Interestingly, three quarters (75 percent) singled out a battery life of more than six hours as their #1 feature, while only 17 percent cared about the ability to run the existing iPhone software (18 percent for Mac OS X apps). Just 39 percent would absolutely require 3G connectivity in order to buy the iSlate, while 28 percent would want an e-book store with large selection.

Features that would prevent consumers from buying an Apple tablet include a required monthly data plan (44 percent), AT&T-only 3G connectivity (34 percent), and lack of e-books (22 percent). The number one feature that people would like the Apple tablet to have was solar charging (39 percent), which beat out apple iBook G4 12 inch batteryapple iBook G4 14 inch batteryapple MacBook 13 inch batterya forward looking video camera for videoconferencing (24 percent), WiMax/LTE 4G connectivity (22 percent), and two screens like a book (19 percent). Whichever way you look at it, consumers want Apple’s tablet but that doesn’t mean they’ll write Apple a blank cheque. Hey, Steve Jobs – are you listening?

competition between different power supplying

January 22nd, 2010

Low power consumption and low pollution-based economic model is a global green trend, which Youyi inexhaustible solar energy development potential of the best, especially the more common amorphous silicon thin film technology has been widely accepted. At home and abroad in the past to many manufacturers of crystalline Dell Studio 1536 battery ,Dell studio 1537 battery ,Dell Studio 1555 batterysilicon cells buy thin film battery production equipment, tried to enter the market thin film battery. Analysts estimate that the majority of these companies to buy foreign equipment is often confronted with problems of high cost.

Yang has just completed the transformation of solar energy technology Platinum Holdings Limited (Hong Kong Main Board listed company number: 0566) are the only two when the same access to global certification body TUV SUD Germany and the United States UL (Underwriters Laboratories) Certification of equipment for thin film production solar cells and providers of integration solutions to enable customers to more easily enter the European markets. As the platinum chain, Yang Sun is in even the most upstream development of high technical threshold, then the market competition, low profit margins high, is far better than the downstream firms.

It is reported that China will soon announce the price of photovoltaic grid reference may be SET 1.1 RMB / kilowatt-hour or so, the future of May that the lower price, it is impossible to improve. Therefore, the future be able to effectively control costs, manufacturers will have more living space. Platinum-producing solar panels Yang, production costs are lowest in the world rankings. With the modernization of equipment and technology, platinum-yang solar panels to generate electricity is expected to enable power plants to 1 RMB / kWh in the next two to three years, platinum-yang, energy Solar thermal electricity as the price of electricity will be peaking unit flat.

Yang Platinum Solar has over 30 patents and technical secrets, including two key patents for PVD (physical deposition vapor) and PECVD (plasma enhanced deposition technology chemical vapor). Yang Platinum solar production of single area PECVD of 57 square meters, one of the largest in the world, are the material of the cooling gas in the solid state, and deposited in a thin layer on the substrate 72 ; PVD in vacuum evaporation condensation forms of different surface materials, the two patents are the key to the complete line of production processes, increase productivity and profitability of key importance.

In addition to two brand-new technology, solar platinum chain-yang quality and safety standards comply with international standards in more than 25 MW (megawatts) and high performance mass scale Production reached 93.8%, far exceeding the national average Liu Cheng and abroad Bacheng, so that the cost of production to maintain a low level.

Platinum hand-Yang sun after the transformation is not only be highly valued, but also because of good prospects for the industry attracted by the IDG, JP Morgan Chase and Dell Studio 15 battery ,Dell Studio 17 battery,Dell Studio 1735 batteryother foreign investment funds. Platinum Executive Director of Solar Libin Yang Peng, said: “The platinum-Yang in 2009 have been delivered more than 200MW of production lines, the new single has also signed up to 175mW. Newly signed to provide a single place of business of one billion yuan, while the guaranteed profit of 5,500 million euros. East of England titles on November 6, 2009 issued a report, expected to platinum-yang of solar energy in 2010, the annual profit of up to 760 million yuan, and in 2011 increased 63% to 1.23 billion yuan. ”

More recently, platinum-yang Solar has announced a partnership with a contract to customers in Henan, providing a total of 200 megawatts of thin film silicon solar PV module manufacturing equipment. This marks the platinum-Yang energy solar China has continued to grow, but also to improve the platinum-world market share of Yang and competitiveness. Peng Libin said that platinum-yang Solar also plans to invest over the next three years, 100 million U.S. dollars as research on related technologies and development costs, and also to ensure solar access tariff platinum Yang price advantage to make an effort to protect the environment

Canon PowerShot SD940 IS with Great Performance

January 20th, 2010

The Canon PowerShot SD940 IS ($300 as of 1/19/2010) might look familiar to you, especially if you’ve seen the Canon PowerShot SD940 IS. Both models have an eye-catching design–including a lens casing that’s IBM ThinkPad T43 batteryIBM ThinkPad T60 battery FRU 92P1141 the same color as the camera’s body–and both are available in a range of colors (the SD940 IS comes in black, brown, blue, and silver).

The similarities between the two cameras go beyond aesthetics. Both offer 12-megapixel image resolution, effective optical stabilization, 720p high-def movie capture (in MOV files at 30 frames per second), an HDMI-out port, (along with about 19 other scene modes), and very good image quality for a pocketable camera.

The differences between the two models are minimal, but they may be enough to justify the extra $50 for the PowerShot SD940 IS (the SD780 IS currently sells for about $250). For one thing, the PowerShot SD940 IS fared a bit better than its earlier sibling in PCWorld Labs imaging and battery tests.

In the Labs’ subjective testing for image quality, the SD940 IS earned a higher score for overall image quality, with particularly high ratings for color accuracy, exposure, and flash exposure. Though the PowerShot SD940 IS lagged behind the SD780 IS in sharpness and distortion, both cameras earned an imaging quality score of Very Good.

In battery testing, the PowerShot SD940 IS took 290 shots on a single charge of its rechargeable lithium ion battery–about 30 shots more per charge than the PowerShot SD780 IS. The SD940 IS earned a battery life score of Very Good, versus its sibling’s score of Good.

Other than the higher overall scores for image quality and battery life, the key differences between the two cameras are these:

– With the PowerShot SD940 IS, you get a 4X optical zoom with a wider-angle lens (28mm to 112mm). The SD780 has a 3X optical zoom lens that offers 33mm on the wide-angle end.

– The SD940 IS has a slightly bigger LCD screen (2.7 inches, versus the SD780’s 2.5-inch LCD screen). The tradeoff is that the SD940 IS doesn’t have an optical viewfinder above the screen; the SD780 IS does.

– The PowerShot SD940 IS fixes the menu navigation quirks found in the SD780 IS. That is, all the scene mode options are available simply by scrolling through a list; you don’t need to press a Display button to access “hidden” scene modes.

And that’s about it for the differences, which is a good thing for the most part. This is a slick, easy-to-use camera with impressive image quality, and it shares the SD780’s decent performance IBM ThinkPad R40 batteryIBM ThinkPad X60 battery 40Y6799 40Y6795at high ISO levels. At ISO 3200 and 1600, details are splotchy, but the camera did a good job of snapping bright and usable shots without a flash in near-pitch-black settings.

The SD940 IS also has a few of the same drawbacks as its nearly identical sibling, such as a zoom ring and buttons that are a bit too small for comfort, as well as flimsy plastic doors to cover the HDMI port, the A/V-out ports, and the battery. While shooting video, you’re limited to a digital zoom; you still can’t zoom optically. And the lack of an optical viewfinder will be a disappointment for some–but keep in mind that the tiny viewfinder on the SD780 IS was barely big enough to be usable.

If you’ve been considering the SD780 IS, I’d pick the PowerShot SD940 IS instead. It has the same great looks, the same quality performance, and a step up in specs that make it one of the best ultracompact point-and-shoots we’ve seen in the past year.
