The prospects for solar power

Solar power has more exciting plans. One of Japan's Genesis program. Ready to use on the ground area of desert and ocean to generate electricity, and through the superconducting forklift cable will be linked into a unified global network of solar power stations to the global supply. It is estimated that in 2000, 2050, 2100, even if the whole global energy supply with solar power, but also as an area of 651,100 square km, 1,867,900 square km, 8,291,900 square kilometers. 8,291,900 square km area of only 2.3% of all marine or 51.4% of all the desert, and even the Sahara Desert is 91.5%. So this program is possible.
Another program is the power of heaven. As early as 1980, NASA and the Department of Energy to build solar power stations in space proposed ideas, ready to put in orbit a long 10 km wide and 5 km of a large plate, covered with gate opener solar cells, which will provide 500 million kilowatts of electricity. But this need to be addressed to the terrestrial wireless transmission problems. Has proposed using microwave beams, laser beams and other programs. Although the current model aircraft used to achieve a short fastener distance, short-term, low-power microwave wireless power transmission, but still a long away from the real practical distance.
With our technology, in 2006, China has three companies into the global top ten, indicates that Chinese b2b will become the world center of the new energy technology, world wide application of solar water heater photovoltaic, led to the current lack of the supply of raw materials and prices, we need to promote the same technology, we must adopt new technologies to significantly reduce costs for the new driving force behind long-term development of energy!
Use of solar energy is divided into several areas: family with small-scale solar power plants, large-scale grid power plant, building integrated photovoltaic glass walls, solar lights, solar hybrid street lighting, wind and solar power systems, the application is now the main way for the construction integration and wind and solar garden tool systems.
The world's nearly 200 companies currently producing solar cells, but the production plant, mainly in the hands of Japanese companies.
In recent years South Korea's Samsung, LG have expressed their desire to actively participate in China across the Taiwan Strait equally enthusiastic. According to reports, China's Taiwan in 2008 crystalline silicon solar cell production capacity of 2.2GW, the future expansion of production capacity will be an annual 1Gw, the year and begin production of thin film solar cells, will greatly increase this year, Taiwan look to Europe, "solar power" in line . 2010 or more countries and regions have 1GW solar water heater production planning a Japanese manufacturer Sharp, Germany's Q-Cells, Scho ~ Solar, 5 Wei Po RWESolar, China SuntechPower other 5 companies, and the remaining seven companies production capacity of 500MW or more.
In recent years, the world's solar cell forklift truck market triumph, is excellent, but rare in the financial crisis economic crisis, the same pressure in the solar cell market, the head of a cloud, major companies such as the performance of Q-Cells of Germany crashed down, pre-sun in the world this year Power to the market due to weak demand will be, the decline in oil prices increase the competitiveness of other unfavorable factors, anti-down. At the same time, people also see the United States. After taking office, Obama will GreenNewDeal policy implementation, including the green energy plan to 1500 billion grant funds, Japan will also continue to implement universal wind turbine generator subsidy system to the application of solar cells.
