The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has embarked on a program to introduce solar energy into the country with the construction of its first water desalination plant that is powered by solar power. In the three-part solar program, the construction of the solar desalination plant is the first part. The goal of the program, which was launched by King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST), is to create stable power and water supplies in the kingdom by constructing solar-powered water desalination facilities.
ITS Innotech Solar, a solar company based in Norway, has purchased land in Eastern Germany for developing a facility to enhance the power output of solar cells. This investment in the city of Halle from the company will provide a significant boost for the photovoltaic sector in the region. Germany Trade & Invest has assisted ITS for the land acquisition.
In the last month’s PV USA (PTC) ratings, solar modules from Canadian Solar are ranked as one of the highest performing modules. The solar module series that received the highest PTC ratings are CS5A- 180M, CS5P-240M and CS6P- 220P, 225P, 230P. To measure the real-time performance and power of the solar modules, the PTC ratings are becoming increasingly accepted as universal standards.
1 SolTech has received full UL/ETC certification for its line of solar PV panels and has also passed compliance and testing audit procedures for its factory. Being one of the few solar module manufacturers in U.S., its panels are top rated and capable of delivering high output power. The panels from the company have the ability to withstand extreme weather conditions including hail and wind, which is makes it suitable for utility, commercial and residential applications.
Northwest Power provides various types of solar powered products including the solar radar speed display sign. The radar speed sign features a super bright LED display that warns the drivers to check the speed. The LED display features 18-inch characters in red or yellow/amber color. The solar powered radar speed display sign has the ability to detect vehicle speeds in the range of 5 to 99 miles per hour.
The Lorentz PS1200 submersible water pump can lift water from a depth of 760 feet. It is capable of pumping 25,000 gallons of water per day. This submersible solar water pump has sand and corrosion resistant features and it reduces the fuel and engine maintenance costs.
KACO Solar manufactures residential grid-tie inverters and off-grid inverters. The reCUBE off-grid system is designed for remote regions. This mobile power supply unit operates with renewable energy sources. This off-grid system utilizes a PV generator to convert sunlight into electricity and stores it in the battery bank. This system also includes a wind generator to provide electricity at night or during low solar radiation.
Defying the impact of a depressed economy on market movements, the Linde Gases Division of The Linde Group closed 2009 with more than 6GWp (Gigawatt peak) of production capacity across its global photovoltaic (PV) customer base. Linde demonstrated increased market traction securing multiple new contract wins and renewals with leading thin-film and crystalline manufacturers worldwide including GS Solar and Suntech in China, Euro Multivision, Indo Solar and Solar Semiconductor in India, and Bosch, Malibu and Masdar in Germany.
For the grid-tie solar systems, grid-tie inverter system is utilized to convert DC electricity into AC power and to transfer the extra power to the utility grid. During excess flow of current or when low energy is used, the excess power can be transferred to the utility company and eventually this credits the energy bill of customers.
”The manufacturers of photovoltaic production equipment will found an individual association platform during the annual photovoltaics conference of the German Engineering Federation VDMA on March 30th in Frankfurt”, explains Dr. Peter Fath, CTO of centrotherm photovoltaics AG and spokesman of the Steering Committee Photovoltaic Equipment within VDMA. With this decision VDMA intends to address the entire value chain of photovoltaics production. VDMA follows a specific request of industry on such an extension.
