The plant is expected to start production in 2011, according to demand, its annual production capacity to 480,000 kilowatts, enough to meet the needs of 130,000 households in the average family.

Meanwhile, Sharp and Enel will set up a joint venture to produce electricity, with each holding half the shares, and plans in the Mediterranean countries such as Italy, France and Spain, Sony VGP-BPS9A Sony VGP-BPS9A/B business development. As of the end of 2016, they want to solar power plants capable of producing annually more than 500,000 kilowatts of electricity.

While Sharp and Enel agreed to an alliance in May 2008, finally has been slow to establish because the financial Sony VGP-BPS2A Sony VGP-BPS2C turmoil. Economic difficulties, led to weaker demand in Europe thin-film solar cells. The two sides originally expected to produce annually up to one million kilowatts of electricity.

According to “Nihon Keizai Shimbun,” recently reported that, in order to reduce Digital Camera Battery, greenhouse gas emissions, Europe and other major markets, the demand for solar cells is rapidly rising share of the global solar cell market, into a share of about five major Japanese manufacturers have recently announced a major increase capacity.

Reported that, at present the world’s largest solar cell production capacity of Sharp Corp. recently said it would increase production capacity within this month into two. Production scale ranks third in the world of the Kyocera Corporation recently announced it will invest 40 billion DSLR Battery Grip to 50 billion yen (about Â¥ 116 in 1 U.S. dollars) to expand production capacity, fiscal year 2010 to double the production capacity. Sanyo also said it would spend Â¥ 40,000,000,000 improve its production capacity in Japan and overseas factories. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, is established solar cell production capacity will be increased to three times the current approach.

Reported that major Japanese manufacturer hopes to expand production capacity as soon as possible to reduce costs, promote the popularization of solar cells, and occupy a favorable position in the market.

“Green Battery” to urge the industry to adjust

Nine ministries and commissions in accordance with the provisions of 2006 is the last year, if the enterprises do not have compliance, you must close.

China’s enterprises and improved through the introduction of Canon EOS 30D Battery Grip foreign advanced technology, have been resolved in the mercury-free batteries under conditions of long-term storage and maintain power stability issue, then, followed by how to promote the use of mercury-free alkaline batteries? In response, Wang Jingzhong the Secretary-General pointed out that efforts in two ways One is to raise consumer awareness of mercury-free alkaline battery level, so that people understand the mercury-free alkaline batteries in environmental protection, cost and other advantages to urge everyone to purchase and use of this “green cells”; second, by strengthening supervision and strengthen law enforcement efforts to promote the industry, product structure adjustment, promote and help “green cells” production enterprises to expand production scale and market share rate.

Domestic enterprises to produce mercury-free alkaline battery power can be achieved with six times the mercury batteries, storage time can reach more than 3 years, or even 8 years, than to have a mercury-free battery to be much longer. Mercury-free alkaline batteries these advantages, there is no well-known. Nanfu Battery launch the concept of 1:6, a Nanfu battery effect is six times the normal battery. Fujian Nanping Nanfu Battery Co., Ltd. Ding, general manager, said, “six times the concept is rather conservative concept. The most we launch came here eight times more, but from the perspective of the consumer in charge, we only mention six times the This is to ensure that consumers to use effect. ”

According to reports, the performance of alkaline manganese batteries are common in many areas the battery can not be compared, such as electrical current, toys, razors, and so the use of regular batteries reach the effect of alkaline manganese batteries. In addition, conservation of resources is also very impressive, zinc as a battery raw materials, to use ordinary batteries to 5.6 grams and as alkaline batteries used in 3.5 grams on it.

Battery manufacture than ordinary alkaline batteries much more difficult because of the purity of raw materials higher, purification itself, the price will be high, manufacturing costs are high. The production of mercury-free battery technology is mature and is mass-produced, the cost does increase a lot Canon EOS 40D Battery Grip, Canon EOS 300D Battery Grip, but on their own be able to digest.

Another aspect of the industry adjustment of product structure is also very important. Wang Jingzhong Secretary-General said, in accordance with the provisions of nine ministries and commissions in 2006, is the last year, if the enterprises do not have compliance, you must close. The implementation of mercury-free and compulsory execution, the workload is very large, the first batch of 11 key enterprises have already achieved compliance in the future also will be gradually released, the current domestic scale there are dozens of enterprises, strengthen supervision and increase law enforcement from the start here.
