Eyes of China for the production of solar panels

Founded in 1999 as First Solar Holdings, LLC) in Phoenix, Arizona, the company took the nation by storm, the expansion of overseas production and sales of panels in the European Union in a market where the government gives promise of a better reward.

But that is changing, with the EU, the two biggest fans Solar (Germany and Spain) by reducing their subsidies following a prolonged recession. Thus, First Solar, whose stock has been hit in Q3 forecasts worldwide solar panels and stored in lower prices for silicon chips, is pulling in their wings and ramps up locally.

First Solar recently invested 100 million dollars to improve its production capacity of Perrysburg, Ohio, the solar panel, adding a fourth production line which will total capacity of 2.8 million panels per year (up to 2 million euros) from March 2010. The property has also added an office and research center, which should create 140 new jobs.

First Solar also manufactured in Germany and Malaysia, and — as solar energy companies in the country's most respected – this in the Standard & Poor's in October. The index S & P is a tool to analyze the stock market since the Dow Jones and Nasdaq leading U.S. companies.

Power February 24, First Solar announced that it has been manufacturing costs of solar panels up to $ 1 per watt, down $ 3 over the last four years, a feat that production has increased 50 times.

The company has expanded production of solar energy on the roof, and utility scale solar energy has 1.3 gigawatts of solar electricity into the ground or is ready to launch This, despite the fact that the total output of the United States (1.6 GW) is the fourth worldwide, behind Germany, Spain and Japan.

The utility projects should face obstacles, both recession and environmentalists and Western politicians who oppose solar farms in or near the Mojave Desert and other areas of critical habitat. These include 550 megawatts for the installation County of San Luis Obispo, California, the 250-megawatt facility in Riverside County and the project of 200 megawatts planned for San Bernardino.

Projects should be completed to include a system of 10 megawatts in Wyandotte County, Ohio;
7.65 megawatts in Blythe, California, 30 MW in Cimarron, New Mexico, and a current contract with the city to provide solar photovoltaic panels on the roof of dwelling.

First Solar recently signed a cooperation initiative with the Chinese government to build a 2 GW plant in an autonomous region of Inner Mongolia, which should start construction in June 2010 – a trend which is likely electricity price to eat in the tariff structure to launch later this year or the year next year, according to an officer of First Solar.

When the next generation of solar PV markets affected very effective and cheap?

I see many new solar technologies and products that are created, some up to 80% … When these hit the market in general cheaper? I buy a solar energy installation in the average home now? or will be replaced by something cheaper and effective 5 times in 3 years? Only two years where I live, a photovoltaic solar energy system has been reduced by 40% in the price, I see China put its scientific research and will lead the world in these technologies in a short period of time

Photovoltaic solar panels are fairly cheap now be a good investment with 10-15 year amortization. The solar hot water is the return on investment even better for 5-8 years. Made in China conventional solar panels should reach parity (Straight-up competition with fossil fuels to produce electricity, no considerations of investment) within 2 years.

China reduces solar power costs with large-scale manufacturing
