July 18: California, the central city of Fresno airport is being installed is said to be the largest U.S. commercial solar project, the project will be 9.5 acres of land to install 11,700 solar panels, the daily generating capacity will be Enough to provide the airport daily consumption of 40 percent. Airport official said the use of renewable energy will reduce their daily expenses.

First Solar And Edison International Reached Two Solar Energy Trading
Thin film solar cell maker First Solar Inc. (FSLR) Wednesday said it would and Edison International (EIX), a subsidiary of Southern California Edison started with two solar power projects.
First Solar will supply the roof of a 2-megawatt solar system, this will be the roof of California's largest solar power plant.
The company also plans to sell Southern California Edison, California Blythe a new solar power plant by the production of electricity, this plant will be the state's largest solar power plant on the ground.
California Public Utilities Commission has this power plant approved a 20-year power purchase agreement.

Thin Film Solar Cell Sales In 2015 Will Be Over 20 Billion U.S. Dollars
According to the U.S. NanoMarkets forecasts, thin-film solar cells in 2015 of generating capacity will reach 26 GW, sales of over 20 billion U.S. dollars (U.S. released data). The main reasons for growth, all the popularity of thin-film solar cells, as well as the crystallization of the mainstream than the current silicon solar cells low cost, easy to bend and easy to manufacture the appearance of thin-film solar cells. The company expects 2015 pre-solar generating capacity of more than half will come from the thin-film solar cells.
Thin-film solar cells due to low cost, light weight and can be flexible on the manufacturing floor, in residential areas more welcome. Thin-film solar cells is expected to residential market by the year 2015 will grow to 2.3 billion U.S. dollars.
From the type of view, is expected to CdTe thin-film solar cell market will continue to grow, the market's 2015 sales will reach 8.7 billion U.S. dollars. CdTe semiconductor with light absorption and to be able to take advantage of the gap higher. In addition, the company said, after worried about the impact on the environment has become smaller.
CIS / CIGS solar cells although the high prices, manufacturing problems, but in the field of thin film solar cells still maintained a clear advantage. NanoMarkets expects the market sales by the year 2015 will be close to 5 billion U.S. dollars.

U.S. Scientists Have Developed New Technologies Windows Can Collect Solar Energy
Have such a window, it can provide a clear vision and illuminate the room, can use the sun to the building to provide an effective supply of electricity » According to the July 11 "Science" magazine reported that the U.S. Massachusetts Institute of Technology engineers to create a novel method for solar concentrators, this novel can imagine into reality.
Responsible for the study, associate professor of electrical engineering • Mark Bartholomew said that this new type of solar concentrators for use of a coating, in the large-scale (such as a window) to collect sunlight, and then gathered at the edge. In this way, does not require the entire roof covered with expensive solar cells, solar cells and simply Wai embedded in the flat glass plate on the edge, so that everyone will be able to collect solar energy increased 40 times over.
Before the solar concentrators are used for large mirror to track the movement of the sun condenser, and now the technology to avoid its disadvantages. The new system is very easy to create, because reducing the size of the solar cells and therefore reduce costs. The researchers believe that in three years to achieve commercialization, or even add to the existing solar system, but also with a minimum of 50 per cent of additional costs to improve efficiency, thus greatly reducing the cost of solar power.
The U.S. Department of Energy Office of the scientific basis of energy science program manager Alaweida • Gini believes that this innovative design without the need for optical tracking could be achieved under the conditions of the outstanding conversion of solar energy, which proved to be "in a cost-effective Use of solar energy "access to the leading results of a revolutionary, innovative research is the basis of essential importance.
