Tibet Will Be The Use Of Solar Energy 180,000 Peasants And Herdsmen Solve The Problem Of Electricity

SDRC Director Jin Shixun Tibet Autonomous Region recently, "said 11 th Five-Year Plan" period Tibet will invest 1.27 billion yuan for the state, through the construction of small-scale PV power plant system and the issuance of household, 187,500 peasants and herdsmen solve the electricity problem of the masses.
Jin Shixun said Tibet boasts rich solar energy resources, in the current conditions, the use of solar photovoltaic technology to solve villages in remote areas without electricity, and scattered peasants and herdsmen households without electricity, the programme is feasible and effective.

Tibet is China's most abundant solar energy resources, direct radiation of the total annual radiation ratio of 56 to 88 percent annual sunshine hours up to 3400 hours.

From the mid-1980s, Tibet has gradually expanded to the study and promotion of solar energy technologies, build county and township levels are nearly 400 photovoltaic power stations, with a total capacity of nearly 9,000 kilowatts.

Outstanding conflict between supply and demand of electricity is constraining the development of Tibet's social and economic factors bottleneck. At present power shortage in the rural and pastoral areas of Tibet more serious, "11 th Five-Year Plan" period in addition to the use of solar energy in Tibet, also through grid extension and the building of small hydropower in the form of the farmers and herdsmen transmission, in order to achieve "11 th Five-Year Plan "basically solve the peasants and herdsmen in the end the goal of electricity.

Germany SCHOTT Solar Silicon Technology Upgrade Is Expected To Reduce The Loss Of Raw Materials

Recently, a global leader in the solar industry SCHOTT Germany came the news, the company reduced silicon material loss, increase power generation made technological progress. The company solar As a result of the new surface structure, its power generation efficiency by greatly improved. This new structure was named for the ISO structure, from SCHOTT Solar Research Center development, and be with the German Institute with the help of the factory building industry.

Improved solar surface structure will enable each component of solar cells produced a watt of electricity required by the scarcity of raw materials - by reducing the amount of silicon. This new technology, the battery can be received more sunlight into energy in order to achieve greater power density, save resources and reduce the loss of raw silicon, to improve the overall efficiency of production.

In addition, the new surface structure improved the appearance of products, a dark blue uniform texture to the appearance of SCHOTT Solar Cell harmonization.

At present, ASE-165GTFT/MCI series battery will start the introduction of the new structure, product names, the "I" that is representative of ISO structure. Subsequently, this new technology will be gradually applied SCHOTT all products and production facilities.

"By using the ISO structure means that we can improve the stability of solar products SCHOTT the effectiveness of the. On our customers, which means that they spend little money to get high-quality products and more energy." Michael Harre, SCHOTT Solar Limited, the management of marketing and sales members of the Committee, explained.

Solar cell research and development manager Wilfried Schmidt then added, "the market is generally difficult to laboratory and the results of research on existing lines combine," he said, "R & D departments and production departments are working closely together is the traditional SCHOTT Solar strengths, that is, in the near future we can implement this project soon.
