Downturn in the economy a good choice: solar energy investment

Intel 20,000,000 U.S. dollars investment in Shenzhen Science and Technology Yi Chong, a member of the World Bank Group International Finance Corporation (IFC) yesterday to a new group of the new Austrian Olympic Solar Co., Ltd. invested 15,000,000 U.S. dollars, And organized a total of 121,000,000 U.S. dollars of loans.

Some varieties of renewable energy return on investment as high as 20%, China is one of the best in the field of investment, after Zevi Jiangxi LDK Solar Peng Xiaofeng, chairman, said the financial crisis The photovoltaic industry is not to combat but to promote the procurement of materials and manpower investment costs of 40% -50% of the cost of solar power will be substantially reduced.

China Institute of solar photovoltaic Zhao Yuwen, director of the professional committee, said in an interview: thin film solar cell technology will be the first to achieve the goal of parity of power, so that a clean alternative to conventional solar energy's new strategic importance, Obviously very popular with capital chasing.

Thin film solar attention

the new parent company of the new solar Austria Austria Group also includes a new Austrian Gas Holdings (2688 . HK), is a giant liquefied petroleum gas, liquefied petroleum gas production alone basis, the country second only to China National Petroleum Corporation, Sinopec and China National Offshore Oil Corporation, ranked fourth. Wang Yusuo held by the Group of the man-made, and his wife Zhao Baoju, has just been introduced in the 2008 Report of the rich energy resources in order to top 9.0 billion in assets of the wealthy in the mainland ranked 53rd place.

In addition to 15,000,000 U.S. dollars equity investment, the plan includes

IFC loan will be provided by the new Austrian solar 45,000,000 U.S. dollars loan its own funds , And 76,000,000 U.S. dollars syndicated loan. The financing will help China building the first large-scale thin film solar module production lines, after the completion of the project is expected to thin film solar modules with an annual output of 60 megawatts, will be put into production in the second quarter of next year.

New Austrian media group head, said Zhang Guangjun, in November last year, the new Austrian and the United States Applied Materials to build thin film solar cell, brought in the company's full range of automated production line is expected by 2010 Amorphous silicon thin film solar cell production of 500 megawatts, with annual sales of 20,000,000,000 yuan. The project set up in Hebei Langfang Economic and Technological Development Zone, used in the production of thin film amorphous silicon solar cells.

In the domestic photovoltaic industry, "silicon material" and the "thin film battery" is the most talked about the two words. Thin film solar photovoltaic cells with the conventional crystal silicon cells co-exist, a new technology, the semiconductor industry is a branch, through a coating of amorphous silicon solar glass will be converted into electrical energy. New Austrian

solar energy projects with a total investment of 14,000,000,000 yuan, the construction in three phases, the thin film solar cell production technology can reduce the solar cell production costs and improve photoelectric conversion efficiency, such as the application of solar roof Battery power, solar photovoltaic power stations and the external walls of buildings, such as the installation of photovoltaic cells.

At present, solar cells, about a dozen enterprises, but through the silicon material to solar energy into, and the silicon itself is a high-energy consumption products; thin film technology is one of the world The development of solar photovoltaic cells hotspots, according to the reporter learned that Intel recently injected a benefit of the Shenzhen R & D is the main direction of thin film solar technology.

Capital is chasing the pet

dollar credit expansion has come to an end, global access to "de-leverage" the pain Adjustment, "Kyoto Protocol" has been established within the framework of a "carbon currency" prototype, which relies on expansion to increase the size of the total income capital markets business was able to escape doomed. While

since December 2005, Jiangsu Suntech in the success of the New York Stock Exchange listing, with the Olympic "Bird's Nest", light engineering, and other large-scale photovoltaic projects launched one after another , The photovoltaic industry has become more and more capital chasing most of the industry.

year in October, Intel Capital Corporation to 20,000,000 U.S. dollars of investment is in a period of expansion of Shenzhen's record beneficial science and technology, Intel CEO Otellini said: "We pay attention to investment in clean technology investment opportunities This is taking into account the increasing importance of environmental protection, oil prices rising, and the development of clean technologies, and so on, this is a very good opportunity. "

Zhao Yuwen Said that at present, governments are encouraging the use of some form of renewable energy, including solar, wind and tidal power and even nuclear power, not as long as carbon-based energy, the government strongly encouraged, because they can reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to the new

Austrian group, It is understood that the German solar BES plans to Suzhou, Nanchang, the construction of two thin film solar plant project, the amount of investment in 25 million. Suzhou plant production time is scheduled for the end of 2008, the Nanchang plant for the first quarter of 2009. If planning to achieve this, Germany will be the BES has the world's largest thin film solar cell plant business. While

Suntech revealed in 2008 to build a 50 megawatt thin film solar cell production line.

Solar power generation, "1 yuan a degree?"

the allegation that, the cost of solar power is too high, "expensive consumer goods" and that Zhao Yuwen, thin film solar cell technology suitable for large-scale photovoltaic power plant applications, Is likely to be the first to introduce power parity. Suntech

chairman of the board, said Shi Zhengrong, solar power generation in the field of raw materials and manufacturing costs are significantly lower, only on the Tak in the past two years invested 1.2 billion U.S. dollars to build the industrial chain, the lower silicon raw materials Costs. He estimated that in 2012 the domestic price of electricity, solar power will be reduced to "a degree of power 1 yuan money."

And wind power, solar power is currently profitable prospects to attract large-scale state-owned enterprises, adding that competition in this area will also bring the cost of solar power and double the price drop, solar cell prices by as much as in previous 100 U.S. dollars / kw, the current prices of about 3 U.S. dollars / kw, the cost per unit of electricity of about 0.4 U.S. dollars. It is reported that

, Guodian has announced the establishment of the State Power Co., Ltd. Ningxia solar energy, pre-construction polysilicon thin film batteries and battery, the overall plan for 10,000 tons / year.
