Non-public economy booming, the city’s above-scale industrial added value accounted for the proportion of industrial-scale 67.2%, among which the joint-stock companies have obvious advantages.

Meanwhile, the city’s industrial economic efficiency has also been improving steadily. In the first half, large-scale industrial main business income of over hundreds of billions. Most products maintained rapid growth in the statistics of the 86 kinds of main products, there are 67 kinds of positive growth. Among them, the top four are solar battery, plastic products, feed and ferro-alloys, solar battery with 101.8% growth rate in the first place.

July 24, security chief of the laboratory consultant company Accuvant • Charlie Miller found that the Apple laptop battery chip security vulnerability, and thus vulnerable to hacker attacks, data theft even lead battery scrap.

Will be held in August in the “Black Hat conference,” Charlie Miller, plans to • people report an attack on Apple’s new notebook computer method, which uses a battery of security control weaknesses exist in the chip.

Modern laptop batteries have a capacity to monitor the level of micro-controller, it helps the operating system and recharge the battery charger detection. The chip makes the lithium batteries, even when the computer shuts down can also determine the destination charge, and can adjust the heat to the battery to ensure their safety.

However, in the detection of some of the Macbook, Macbook Pro and Macbook Air laptop computer batteries, Miller found that they are vulnerable to attack. Batteries at the factory with the default password, just cracked the password can control the chip firmware, and may make any hacker attacks, can cause permanent damage to the battery, malicious software can secretly to infect the computer, or even cause the battery to overheat, catch fire or explode.

In order to solve the Macbook battery problems, Apple released in 2009, software update, Miller through its analysis, found the two groups can be used to enter and modify the Apple battery password. With the password, he soon will be able to reverse the transformation chip firmware, free to manipulate the operating system and charger for the chip to read the data, or even completely rewrite the firmware.

Therefore, the battery becomes effortlessly can not be recognized by the computer - Miller has easily scrapped 7 cells (the total value of about $ 130). He pointed out that from the criminal point of view, even on a chip installed in the persistence of malicious software, as other parts of infected computers, steal data, function control and even let the computer crash. When checking the source of infection, few IT managers will think the battery firmware, so the chip can be repeated undetected malware infected PC.

In addition, to carry out such attacks, they need the chip and the interface between the operating system to find another loophole. But Miller seems that this is not a difficult one. “May it never be regarded as an attack entry point for Apple, so it may be easily compromised.”

Then the hacker may be to detonate by remote control batteries? Miller did not do so, but he believes this is possible, he said: “test in my own home, so I do not want to cause an explosion there.”

Miller said, some researchers suggested that he not continue the study of the battery, because it may be too dangerous. However, Miller found that for their own problems have solutions. He plans to held in August this year, “Black Hat conference,” released a product called “leak-proof gun” (Caulkgun) tools to help Apple users to change their battery firmware password random sequence, thus preventing him from ever conducted that the factory password for the attack. Miller also reflect his findings to Apple and Texas Instruments, to arouse their attention on the vulnerability. And Apple has not yet made any response to this.

“Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, Chinese Academy of Sciences - Sony lithium battery joint laboratory” in Shanghai on July 14 opening. Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, and Sony, respectively, in sodium-sulfur battery and lithium-ion battery development has accumulated a wealth of experience, joint research laboratory will be the next generation of battery technology, to develop a similar energy density of gasoline the car battery.

According to the Joint Laboratory Guoxiang Xin, deputy director of the Chinese researcher, the main advantage of the next generation of lithium batteries as large energy storage battery energy density can be increased compared with the previous battery 5-10 times. As the energy density of gasoline is similar to the next generation of lithium batteries is expected to solve a new generation of green vehicles - electric cars energy supply. In addition, next-generation lithium battery also has a friendly, high-power, long life and many other advantages. At present, the next generation of lithium battery research and development is still in the basic research stage, the need to address the battery power density, cycle stability and other issues, the application of new technologies into the market take some time. The “lithium Joint Laboratory” is enabled, Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, and Sony will make full use of both technology and talent resources to actively promote the development and application of the next generation of lithium batteries.

It is reported that as early as 2005, Sony Corporation and the Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, which signed the first joint research project contract of carbon nanotubes in 2007, Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, the two sides established a solar cell as the main object of study, focus on new materials development and application of energy the first joint lab in the new energy R & D has achieved good results.

The end of 2010, Changzhou Trina Solar Limited sales Pobai billion. But with the policy of European countries gradually reduce the subsidies, the PV market in 2011 was generally look bad.

After experiencing rapid growth in the next 10 years the PV industry will enter a second phase, the growth rate will not soar, but become more rational. However, the high discipline where it did not show much concern, “Last year, TRW’s sales in the global market for the 1.06GW, this component is expected to sell 1.75-1.8GW.”

PV industry now and in the growth stage, which is not in doubt. But the growth rate is gradually declining trend, but every year there may be some fluctuations. But this is not entirely because of subsidies decline. For example in Germany, in 2004, FIT (solar electricity price subsidies), the decline in subsidies every year. This is inevitable, if not decline, the industry’s contribution to society would be impossible. Long term, the cost of photovoltaic power generation side of the user should first achieve power parity, the parity after the realization of the power generation side.

The first echelon of several suppliers, including China and Japan, Europe, the United States, some companies, its sales accounted for 40% -50% of global share. The remaining twenty-three tier companies accounted for over 50 per cent.

In general, one tier of business approved by the bank, the customer groups are also large energy power company, or long-term investors, their needs and policy adjustment will not produce great changes. Customer base, which is really a group of opportunistic investors are directed at the high policy of subsidies to do, but their docking are generally twenty-three tier enterprises.

Challenges of the future is if energy storage battery technology can not keep up, then the solar energy development will be restricted. Solar energy is now an important part, and only accompanied by energy storage technologies, especially the size of energy storage technology, solar energy could become a major part.

PV industry is actually a human through technological innovation to create value. Recommended that the Government strive to foster a competitive industry well-known enterprises, such as Japan in the 1970s, the global leader in the appliance industry, companies such as South Korea’s leading companies in the semiconductor industry. Photovoltaic industry to become the pride of Chinese industry, must have such a position.

Solarbuzz U.S. companies to disclose, the United States is non-residential solar battery projects over 17GW. Reduction of feed-in tariffs in Europe subsidies, the U.S. surge in the project, “has become the expected growth rate is higher than any other region of the world markets in the world” .

Solarbuzz said the U.S. plans to set up a capacity of 50kW ~ 500MW system, scheduled second half of 2011 to 2015 a total of 601 projects installed. 17GW of projects divided by state, California, about 62%. The reason is that the state set “renewable portfolio standard (RenewablePortfolioStandard: RPS)” target up to 33%.

In the 17GW of projects, the development of the top 12 companies accounted for 49% ratio. Solar cell modules have been selected from the project point of view, the top three suppliers of modules for the U.S. First Solar, SunPower and Suntech China power the United States. Top-ranking supplier of inverters for the U.S. AdvancedEnergyIndustries and the United States SatconTechnology.

According to reports, the U.S. solar module factory supply price in the past four months have fallen sharply. Its influence has begun to spread to large-scale projects the price. 1MW system projects the average price above $ 4.50 / W , and 32% of project price $ 4 / W (DC output) below.

July 12 evening news, Kyodo News reported, Sony Shigeki Ishizuka, senior vice president, said on Tuesday that Sony is working with domestic and foreign car manufacturers to discuss, want to start manufacturing from 2015 lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles

He said that Sony battery electric vehicle demand is expected to show substantial growth, maturity if the market demand, the company will consider the plant, including an overseas factory.

He also said that Sony also plans to develop gas-electric hybrid cars and plug-in hybrids use the battery.

International rating agency Standard & Poor’s predicted that China’s solar battery panels manufacturers will increase market share, which is due to overcapacity and weak prices have forced the closure of foreign competitors or seek mergers.

Standard & Poor’s credit analyst Swami Venkataraman said in a research report, such as Yingli Green Energy Holding Company Limited and Trina Solar Limited and so benefit from the government-backed China manufacturers are lowering the price of photovoltaic panels, compressed margins, face higher costs in order to put pressure on European competitors.

He said that China has become the leading producer of solar panels. High-cost, single-panel manufacturers out in the next few years become a necessity, unless the demand surge and allow all producers to thrive.

However, Venkataraman said, Arizona’s First Solar is likely to remain the market leader, because of its cadmium telluride thin film solar cells cost polycrystalline silicon solar panels made in China at least 30% lower than .

He said that even if the polysilicon prices decline below the current spot price of 50 U.S. dollars / kg, compared with the first solar energy companies are still the lowest-cost Chinese manufacturers have a distinct advantage.

July 7 news,a team of British scientists announced Monday they have developed a new type of plastic solar batteryies. This product not only can replace silicon as the raw material of conventional solar panels, but also in the price than the latter is much cheaper. They expect such products in the next five to 10 years can be listed.

Because the government can replace fossil fuels for low carbon energy subsidies to support and expensive to install solar power systems will soon become a global trend.

However, its share of global electricity rate of 1% -2% of view, the basis of such growth is still very low. Currently, most solar panels formed by the ultra-pure silicon. Plastic alternatives appeal lies in the use of printing and coating technology, the battery plate production faster and cheaper.

A group from Sheffield and Cambridge as well as some other organizations, researchers said, and now they are manufacturing such products has become more proficient. While other research groups in the efficiency of plastic solar battery for further study.

 ”I think in the next five to 10 years, you will see such a large-scale installation of the system the product.” Richard Jones said the University of Sheffield. In addition, he also said that the development of plastic solar battery panels are still some obstacles, such as how to extend their service life.

According to foreign reports, Axiom Capital executive director and senior equity research analyst Gordon - Johnson that the world is facing solar battery panels capacity is serious excess , this may lead to solar panels and photovoltaic companies stock price fell.

Johnson pointed out to the end of 2011, global production capacity of solar battery panels from 2010 to about 40 GW (gigawatt) increased to 61 GW up and down. On the other hand, even the most optimistic estimates, only 20 GW of demand this year, Johnson says.

Therefore, he predicted the profitability of the PV sector will drop substantially, recommended investors sell shares of solar energy. He told CNBC: “We are in a structural oversupply in the market, the price is still much to fall, and we think this will put pressure on corporate profits, the PV, they will have a downward revision in the second quarter results . ”

Although prices have dropped, Johnson does not think that demand will rise. He said it was because of the lack of flexibility of the industry’s needs in the short term will not change. Solar technology is a long-term investment, investors will be waiting for prices to be reduced to a minimum and stabilized only after the investment money to come.

Although the nuclear crisis in Japan raise everyone’s optimism for clean energy, solar energy demand would not be a raise, said Johnson case. Because nuclear power is baseload power, can provide continuous low marginal cost of energy, while solar power is the peak load, intermittent electricity is provided, and a higher marginal cost.

Johnson said: “I think this is a great misunderstanding of the investment community. Can not use solar energy to replace nuclear power, you can not use intermittent power to replace baseload power, understand the utility of any such person will tell you.
