Energy Storage Would Get U.S. Tax Credits in Bipartisan Bill
Chris Martin for Bloomberg Politics:  Energy storage would gain access to the same tax incentives that helped make renewable energy the biggest new source of electricity in the U.S. last year under a bill introduced in the Senate.
Batteries like the lithium-ion ones in phones and electric vehicles would be eligible for the tax incentives when connected to the utility grid at homes and businesses under a bill introduced Tuesday by Democratic Senator Martin Heinrich from New Mexico. The bill has eight co-sponsors including Dean Heller, a Nevada Republican, according to a statement.
Other energy storage technologies such as pumped hydroelectric power, flywheels and compressed air would also have access to the tax credits, modeled after incentives for the solar industry, which reimburse as much as 30 percent of installation costs. Â Cont'd...

PVinsights: Solar prices fall on worries about oversupply
Solar price fell this week amid sign of a global oversupply and evidence that producers have now adapted to lower prices. Due to the shrinking demand in China, the 2nd tier Chinese module manufacturers, who heavily depend on the domestic demand and rapidly expand production capacities, have suffered most severely with increasing stockpiles. Due to the entry limitation by trade barriers in EU and the US, the 2nd tier producers enhance fierce price competition in China, India, and emerging countries to get rid of the stockpiles. Although 1st tier Chinese module makers intend to stabilize the price quotes, the attempt is limited in success due to the pressurized prices offered by the 2nd tier suppliers.
