Thin-film solar batteries are usually stacked on the surface of the glass substrate transparent electrode film, the semiconductor film (power level) and the metal film, in the cascading process of these films requires the implementation of the circuit shape molding machine (slot) processing. According to Kawasaki Heavy Industries introduced the characterization of the existing molding machine speed of 2000mm / s or so. However, if the solar battery to achieve low cost, molding machines need to have carved a higher speed. In addition, in order to improve power generation efficiency of solar batteries, the high quality of the scribed lines are also highly anticipated.

The development of the molding machine by the laser irradiation apparatus and handling parts. The processing speed increased to 10,000 to 20,000 mm / sec. In addition, in the past need to make the glass substrate in a stopped state before processing, and the glass substrate without stopping the laser irradiation device can be in the adoption, implementation carved processing. In other words, to be able to connect into the glass substrate. With these improvements, reducing the processing of each glass substrate and the processing time interval. In addition, the molding machine carved out of the groove width of the uniform, can form a smooth convex shape and a small burr, the region is expected to minimize the non-power generation and power generation efficiency to contribute. The molding machine of the external dimensions of 3500mm × 2300mm × 1500mm. Maximum size of the substrate can be processed 1400mm × 1100mm.

Kawasaki Heavy Industries also intends in future to the development of the molding machine and has been listed on the wafer high pressure jet cleaning machine combined to provide the entire system. In addition, the company will in December 5, 2011 - December 7 at Makuhari MESSE International Convention and Exhibition Center at the “PV JAPAN 2011″ on the display.

Thin-film silicon solar batteries have advantages: the amount of silicon crystalline silicon can be reduced to 1 / 100, the energy pay period (the electricity to the power required to manufacture the product run time) is short, and compound semiconductor solar battery with susceptible than non-Te (tellurium) and other restrictions on the amount of raw materials. However, for solar battery manufacturers, the introduction of a variety of vacuum film-forming device of the high initial investment cost is a big problem, need to come into a coating film-forming process significantly reduce costs.

According to reports, the electrode ink can be used to create Dainippon Screen (DNS) of the coating device “Linearcoater” in the 1.4m × 1.1m on the stability of large glass film. This will help to reduce thin-film silicon solar battery manufacturing costs.

Mitsubishi Materials will be November 28, 2011 - December 2, held in Fukuoka City, the “21stInternationalPhotovoltaicScienceandEngineeringConference (PVSEC-21)” published on the results of this development. In addition, Dainippon Screen Manufacturing (DNS) will be November 28, 2011 - November 30 in Shanghai, China at the “PVChina2011″ ink coating on the introduction of this technology.

Although the British wireless carrier Verizon Wireless Galaxy Nexus will provide 4G LTE mobile broadband technology, but whether it is Verizon Wireless or Google, they were not announced a specific release date.

According to technology website PhoneScoop said, Adobe said in a statement “will be at least one mobile browser to support Android 4.0 release of Flash Player, expected date of the end of the year.” This statement seems to have AT & T has long been predicted, on September’s second-largest U.S. wireless carrier AT & T had speculated that “Adobe will release a new version of mobile devices Flash Player, there may happen to the release of Android is the time.”

Adobe’s commitment was to provide new equipment for existing patches and security updates, including Android 4.0. Adobe has said that the decision to abandon Flash Player is designed to help with the HTML5 investment because HTML5 can replace the pre-Apple products in its Flash software, but mainly to improve cell efficiency.

He designed the floating solar cells can be connected together to form a large network-like structure. With the buoyancy in the water on the ship suddenly sink suddenly floats to collect wave energy generated. At the same time, water also played the role of the mirror to reflect sunlight to the floating solar cells, solar collectors is expected to increase the amount of 20%.

Deployment of solar cells on the surface than the terrestrial solar panels has a great advantage to avoid occupation of land area, and reduce construction and cost control. But the new design needs to consider the harsh marine environment. For example, the construction of floating installations in the sea must first overcome by the sea corrosion. If a larger area where the storm or a hurricane, will lead to hundreds of thousands of dollars in economic losses.

 As the economic downturn, consumer demand for electronic products in Europe is relatively weak, resulting in the semiconductor industry slump.

 Held in Barcelona, ??Spain Morgan Stanley Technology, Media and Telecom Conference, the British chip designer ARM CEO Warren Eastbourne (Warren East) on Thursday said that many ARM licensees of inventory than the previous quarter a lot better.

 Similarly optimistic sentiments of the French chip maker STMicroelectronics CEO Kaluo Bo Zotti (Carlo Bozotti), he told investors that the company expects second-quarter 2012 sales could reach normal levels.

 According to the global technology research and advisory firm Gartner survey, inventory, negative impact on the semiconductor industry will continue at least until the end, however, demand growth will occur in 2012.

According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance’s latest data, the third quarter of this year, wind farms and solar power and other new energy projects global growth equity financing to 418 billion U.S. dollars. At the same time, M & A activity in this area is also extremely active. Analysis of the industry, with the level of domestic clean technology continues to improve in the shares of the global clean energy investment, driven by the tide, clean energy will soon usher in the domestic market “spring” and therefore, how to accelerate smart grid development, proper solution and network problems as soon as possible on the agenda.

Although had never set foot in the field of clean energy, but the Legend Capital, Managing Director Wang Junfeng firmly believe that their investments in domestic clean energy future earnings will be high. “We are all cast in the next generation of innovative battery technology, it can be said that the downstream solar energy industry, but companies also have independent intellectual property rights.” Wang Junfeng told reporters that the state proposed a new energy in 2020 than in the total energy among the important 16%, and this may also increase the proportion of the future, it is very promising for the development of clean energy.

It is understood that China’s energy consumption, long-standing structural anomaly, severe dependence on fossil fuels, especially coal consumption, total energy consumption of 70%. Excessive consumption of coal will not only damage the ecological environment, but also as a non-renewable resources of coal in China is still facing a depleted and so the pressure on China’s economic health of a potential threat to sustainable development. To this end, national “five,” clearly Plan, to promote energy production and use patterns change, and promote diversification of clean energy development, strengthen the construction of energy transmission channel, to build safe, stable, economical and clean modern energy industry system.

“Twelve Five” period, clean energy structure will accelerate the pace of adjustment. The proportion of non-fossil energy sources will be 9% in 2010 to about 12% in 2015. National Grid Energy Research Institute Zhang Yunzhou expected, the next five years, the trend of China’s energy structure optimization will become more apparent, the proportion of coal will have decreased substantially, mainly natural gas, alternative energy and wind energy, solar energy and other new . ”

At present, China is planning to build Hami, Jiuquan, eight million kilowatts of wind power base, the scale of wind power in 2015 will reach 100 million kilowatts in 2020 is expected to reach 200 million kilowatts. Rapid growth of photovoltaic power generation, the scale of 2015 or ten million kilowatts.

In design, the Motorola RAZR tech fiber with a DuPont Kevlar body material, the continuation of the previous screen in use on the DEFY Corning glass, size increases to 4.3 inches, with qHD resolution, and display using Super LMOLED technology.

To make sense of the whole stronger RAZR, Motorola in the design of this has made two bold adjustments: First, give up the traditional SIM card slot and a more compact Micro-SIM card, SIM card of this size standards previously used in Apple iPhone 4 series and iPad series; Secondly, Motorola abandoned the traditional replaceable battery, use of detachable design.

Configuration, equipped with the new Motorola Droid RAZR Texas Instruments OMAP dual-core solution, two clocked at 1.2GHz Cortex A9 processor, built-in PowerVR SGX 540 graphics processor chip, memory is used 1GB RAM +8 GB ROM combination, with the 1.2GHz dual-core processor, the system running smoothly, and the Samsung i9100 is the same level.

In addition, Motorola also announced this XT615 and ME865 two phones, which is exposed in a foreign country had the second-generation Atrix, compared to before the ME865 on the screen of the camera has been upgraded, upgraded to the screen 4.3-inch while providing support for 1080p video capture.

Current solar battery module production continues to remain a state of excess, as the current factory supply price fell 33 percent in 2010. Affected by the price decline, the second quarter of 2011, known solar battery manufacturers, foundry providers, and silicon vendors chain gross margin fell by 50% or more.

Inventories due to price decline probably will not stop. Crystalline silicon solar module factory supply price, is expected in the fourth quarter of 2011, the chain fell 18%. Stimulation by this price, it is estimated the price of thin-film solar battery modules will substantially decline.

According to Solarbuzz introduction, module prices down to draw the positive effect of market demand has begun to appear, but later than expected. Craig Stevens, President of Solarbuzz warned, “is expected in early 2012 the German power price will be down 15%, if the overestimation of future demand, then the stock value of the assets will be further reduced.”

Solar battery manufacturers are under preparation so that the unit production capacity in 2012 compared with 2011 increased by 50% or more. However, the projected demand will only increase about 25%. Stevens said, “This solar battery with a year ago caused the price collapse of the whole supply chain, supply and demand are strikingly similar. As the profit margin has reached its apex, so the 2012 mergers and bankruptcies will increase further.”
According to reports, if not the smooth progress of production adjustment, then the end of 2012 inventory of solar modules will surge to nearly 22GW. To maintain the same level with the end of 2011 the number of days of inventory, you need around 11GW of production adjustment.
