China Sunergy Signed 400 Million U.S. Dollars Worth Of Silicon Supply Contracts

China Sunergy from reporters yesterday that the company has recently signed and the European REC value of more than 400 million U.S. dollars of silicon supply contracts. This means that plagued photovoltaic components manufacturers of raw materials bottlenecks will be eased temporarily.

It is learnt that, China Sunergy the company signed with the European REC seven-year period of 156 high-quality single-crystal silicon supply contracts, contracts for the 2009 -2015 period, the total contract amount is estimated more than 400 million U.S. dollars. China Sunergy believe that with the new supplier partners, will reduce its reliance on the spot market silicon, thus easing the recent high cost of silicon the pressure on profits.

Data show that in 2006 the global solar cell production of 2521 MW, of which crystalline silicon solar cells 2132 MW, polysilicon consumption of about 23,000 tons, accounting for the total demand for polysilicon 45,000 tons of 50 percent. And that the global output of 37,000 tons polysilicon, the market shortfall of about 8,000 tons. If the solar cell production capacity was calculated, then the greater the numerical gap.

The World's Largest Solar Multimedia Curtain Wall Construction Completed


Jun. 24, 2008 night, the world's largest solar multimedia walls built in Beijing. This is the curtain wall of multimedia Beijing Huihuang Jingya Hotel on the external walls, with a total area of 2,200 square meters, cost as much as 20 million yuan, from 2300 piece, nine different types of PV panels composed. Suntech Power by the construction.

The wall using solar panels and LED lights. Is the most important feature of the energy cycle of self-sufficiency in energy conservation can be substantial and operating costs. During the day, each of the glass behind the absorption of solar photovoltaic cells will be stored, the evening will save electricity supply to the wall surface of the LED display.

Marburg Become Germany's First Legislation To Promote Solar Panels City

According to German media reports on the 21st, has about 80,000 residents of Germany and Central City University of Marburg have legislation requiring all new building construction and renovation to make the installation of solar panels. Marlborough also became the first German to the mandatory requirements of the city.


Reported that the relevant law on the 20th of Marburg were later adopted by the city council and will take effect on October 1. Act provides that all new construction and expansion, the transformation of the old building to install solar panels, and offenders will face at least 1,000 euros (about 1,500 U.S. dollars) fine.

The controversial decree in Germany. Some critics said Marlborough City Council for "green dictator," but many people expressed support for that which is conducive to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. By the German government set the goal of Germany to the 2020 national need to reduce the level of greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels of 60%.

Marlborough City is the seat of the University of Marburg, two-thirds of the residents are students and researchers.
