Solar PV Report Ed 6 2009

Wed, 22 Jul 2009 07:33:25 -0700

This report provides analysis of the global Solar PV sector looking at the key country markets and the effects of the global economic crisis. 2008 was a record year for solar PV sales, with 5.7 GW of new capacity added. Spain shot into top place, with 2.7 GW added, the largest volume of annual sales achieved by any country ever, followed by Germany with 1.5 GW. Spain's pre-eminence was short-lived and in the wake of the financial crisis the Spanish government announced a cap on the feed-in subsidy for solar PV installations at 500 MW in 2009. This will not only put a brake on Spanish sales but will reduce the global solar PV total in 2009, we believe by at least 50%. The slowdown in solar PV sales has had some good outcomes however. The shortage of silicon, which has been restraining development, is no longer a major issue and by the time recovery starts new supply should be in place. Secondly, prices of solar modules are coming down. Thirdly, small companies in the supply chain are merging and being taken over, consolidating the industry. This report also monitors the progress of two new players in the international market, China and Korea. With the cut-back in Spain, Germany, followed by Japan and the USA still remains the global leader, but new countries are entering the market and the industry is spreading beyond its historical areas.

Adaptable Lithium Battery Pack System from Clayton Power

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 02:36:54 -0700

A Lithium-Ion based power supply system for mobile, storage and industrial use. The Lithium-Ion battery capacity, the 230 VAC performance of the sine wave inverter or even the maximum allowed power consumption from the mains are scalable according to the application. All working conditions are dynamical controlled and monitored by the Battery Management System (BMS). All Battery Management System models allow for charge and discharge control of every single cell, cell-temperature control, cell balancing of each single cell and heating of cells in cold weather. The BMS can provide external displays with monitoring information like voltage alarm, temperature control, capacity indication and a number of other operation parameters which can be set or supplied. The combination of a true sine wave inverter and an intelligent multi charger has a number of benefits thanks to its dual functionality. The intelligent charger consists of chargers from 15 up to 100 Amps. The chargers are intelligent and can be configured 100% in relation to the specific type(s) of batteries connected. The possibility for individualised settings provides maximum utilisation as well as maintenance of the batteries.

Solar Pathfinder

Tue, 07 Apr 2009 16:05:55 -0700

The Solar Pathfinder has been the standard in the solar industry for solar site shade analysis for decades. Its panoramic reflection of the site instantly provides a full year of accurate solar/shade data. The Solar Pathfinder gives an entire year's solar potential for a given site in just seconds. This non-electronic instrument is an easy-to-use tool that accurately measures the shading of any site, allowing the user to see what could shade the system throughout the year. Because the Solar Pathfinder works on a reflective principle rather than actually showing shadows, it can be used anytime of the day, anytime of the year, in either cloudy or clear weather.
