Thin-film solar cell market growth rate of no more than the company was so high. U.S. market laptop battery research company IC Insights has released the forecast.
The survey shows that thin-film category in 2008 global sales of solar cell output power is converted into 876MW. Expected future market will be 43% of average annual growth rate of the expansion in 2013 will reach 5.2GW. IC Insights in the United States production of First Solar CdTe (CdTe) solar cells were compared as an example, the output power as a result of unit price is lower than the crystallization of silicon wafers used type of batteries Y4546 , Y9943 , YD165 , YF976 , thereby increasing sales.
However, IC Insights forecasts average annual growth rate of 43% is far below the market forecast of other companies. IC Insights said that the reason for a conservative estimate of growth rate, the reasons for the Latitude CPi battery efficiency is slow, and the way government support may change.
Thin-film solar cell conversion efficiency of the unit, although the R & D stage to reach 16 ~ 20%, but mass production is only around 11%. Lower than can be achieved 14 ~ 21% of silicon cells. IC Insights believes that the current not see any obvious signs of improvement.
In addition, the thin-film solar cells mainly in the broad ground, located in the roof of the building for the crystalline solar silicon cells. IC Insights pointed out that the places in the vicinity of electricity (such as the roof of the building) to install solar cells can reduce the transmission costs and power losses. At present, Inspiron 640m battery the solar cells and more government support for large-scale facilities, if a better understanding of the relevant government officials, focused on supporting the supply of the roof with solar cell manufacturers.
Manufacturers increasingly competitive
IC Insights forecasts, from the solar cell market as a whole, the import volume in 2009 will decrease 22 percent, but growth will resume in 2010. Expected the United States, Europe and Asia will increase the Government to support the efforts.
To enter the market as a result of the manufacturers of solar cells growing competition will become increasingly fierce. Manufacturers in 2008 sales to top the list at only 8% share, Latitude D520 battery was more than 4 percent, only 13 companies. IC Insights forecast that the ranking will change in the future.

Recently, auto industry consultant for the research department was informed that starting this year, Germany launched a 360 million euros vehicle lithium-ion battery development program, almost all German cars and carry-owned energy giant to join.
The German government said the plan, the German mark will enter the era of electric vehicles. At the same time, Daimler Motor Company and RWE energy company that will work together to build 500 electric vehicle charging station. German auto industry alliance is expected to Germany in 2012 will be completed before the series of electric vehicles and off commercial production started.
According to the consultant for the automotive industry analysts pointed out Lee Sheng-mao, new energy sources for electric vehicles is the focus of automotive development, and the driving force for lithium batteries for electric vehicles is a source of motivation, the present power lithium battery technology bottleneck is almost resolved, the upcoming production stage to enter the industry. Now, the international automobile giants have been developed and will be the development of lithium battery power on the strategic position.
At present, Japan’s R & D aspects of lithium batteries in the world. Disclosure by the Industrial Policy Bureau of Japan, Japan will strive in 2010 the new lithium batteries for next-generation electric vehicles. Toyota, Nissan Motor and Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. Ltd. signed an agreement and other related enterprises, efforts to develop uniform specifications for a new generation of automotive lithium-ion battery, and plans volume production in 2 years. Toshiba decided to spend ¥ 50,000,000,000 Development of electric vehicles using lithium-ion battery, this high-performance driving force within the next two years to enter the semi-commercial production.
Popularization of electric vehicles is a critical need to have sufficient power to add bases. Tokyo Electric Power announced that it would take the lead to participate in the infrastructure construction in the metropolitan area to more than 200 charging stations, after three years to more than 1000.
Tokyo Electric Power has successfully developed large-scale rapid charger, the charging time significantly shortened. It is reported that a full charge every 10 minutes, beyond the distance they traveled is 60 km. At present, the cost of the establishment of a charger is ¥ 4,000,000. The company in Japan’s supermarket car parks, convenience stores and post offices and other public places have building equipment chargers. It is estimated that if the high-performance lithium batteries for more promotion, in Japan the use of the hybrid to reach the level of 7.2 million. Industry believes that the electric car market to the development of the next decade to how the size will depend on whether the cost of lithium batteries can quickly be reduced.
Driving force in the development of lithium batteries and electric vehicles, the distance between China and developed countries have been getting smaller and smaller. According to “Nikkei Electronics News,” the statistics, at present, in BYD Li-ion batteries and nickel-metal hydride batteries only in Sanyo, Sony and Panasonic, the become with each of the three Japanese manufacturers of the famous giant international battery. In the field of electric vehicles, BYD can say that has to go the forefront of the industry. BYD market by the end of 2008 hybrid vehicles F3DM, can be the same as mobile phone, the charging socket in the home, that is over seven hours, broke the electric vehicle battery charging station to be in professional charge of the bottleneck. Hybrid vehicles in general use in low-speed electric drives, high-speed motor on the need to drive with the engine and fuel. However, F3DM electric drive can be used alone, the maximum speed of 150 km and range up to 100 km mileage. In contrast, the currently available dual-mode technology — the other two companies General Motors and Toyota are the electric cars for sale, a charge can only travel 25 kilometers.
