The CEBFP is using American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds to provide up to $30.6 million in 2.75% low-interest loans to private businesses that improve or expand their energy efficiency or renewable energy manufacturing facilities in California.

Using these stimulus and private funds, Calisolar’’s project will expand solar cell capacity production from 60 MW annually to 75 MW annually by December. The is expected to create and/or retain approximately 181 full-time equivalent jobs when operating at their maximum production levels. Calisolar is providing $20,716,00 in leveraged financing for the project’’s total $25,716,002 cost. The loan will be repaid in 84 monthly payments .

AQT company’s first production line of CIGS thin film solar battery capacity is 15MW, investment is only 10 million U.S. dollars, Intevac Inc. contract in the thin film production line.

AQT company uses technology to produce CIGS thin film sputtering, and then made into standard photovoltaic modules, photovoltaic conversion efficiency of the battery by 14%, after the module assembly into the photoelectric conversion ,the efficiency is 12%.

Vanadium lithium iron phosphate battery cathode material is heart of the electrochemical reaction of the lithium iron phosphate vanadium.Compared Vanadium with iron phosphate lithium iron phosphate cathode materials for production of vanadium lithium iron phosphate lithium battery with the traditional batteries, in the capacity , charge and discharge efficiency, security, stability and so on,its performance is significantly improve and the parameters are met or than “lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicle” standard.

The second production line is located 15,000 tons of magnitude Mahong a polysilicon plant  in Xinyu City in China,in the next 3-6 months time to reach its before designed annual production , the results can improve the LDK’s polysilicon facilities to meet the effect of lower production costs and help achieve the company’s annual production target.

PN section technology diffusion steps are provided by its partners. Singulus cutting-edge systems technology company has already been a European solar battery manufacturers to use, and on July 9th 2010 has been successful in both wet chemical bed and a Singular PECVD tool on the application.

Also at the 25th EU PVSEC Valencia, Spain hosted the exhibition, the company also demonstrated its anti-reflective layer of crystalline silicon cells, the concept of this innovative tool is based on primary production in the process of electrostatic binding of the transparent Primary transmission of the lining of the static electricity generated.

At present, the car usually include a lithium power storage battery (or Ni-MH battery) or super-capacitor. Lithium and Ni-MH battery can be long-term electrical storage, but full of power time consuming and can not quickly get a lot of energy. On the other hand, the super capacitor can quickly obtain the release of large quantities of energy, but not long electrical storage.

The fundamental difference between these two technologies is the battery is chemical energy storage media and the energy storage capacitor is a physical medium. MIT researchers think that can be manufactured by using a mixture of carbon nanotubes to retain the characteristics of two media, which can store and quickly release the power. MIT hopes that the study by the prototype theory and has started testing for the various needs of the energy input from outside and release energy to provide a better battery for vehicles.

The report quoted Magna Electric Vehicle Systems CEO Peter Reif saying that Magna is working with an electric car partnerships in the final stages of negotiations, the two companies in the electric vehicle battery joint venture factory site may be announced by the end of August.

The media also said that Magna may be the Japanese partner Mitsubishi Motors. Currently, Mitsubishi Motors is considering investing in Vigo, Spain 400 million euros (about 512 million euros) to set up a battery factory. Therefore, the media speculated that Magna electric battery plant will be the final location in Spain.

According to Panasonic the acquisition program, in January 2012, Matsushita will implement a business system restructuring, the basic idea is, in the consumer, components, solutions and other three business areas, the implementation of the three companies are the cause of re-integration of the sales department. Sanyo’s rechargeable battery and solar businesses are classified as components business.

Panasonic integrated reorganization plan, the principles of the brand on to the “Panasonic” consider the direction of unification. This means that Sanyo Electric brand or will become the history.
