Household solar power generation enterprises solar panels industry development

At present a total of 136 countries around the world in the boom in the solar panels to popularize and apply and there are 95 countries are solar panels on a large scale of research and development, actively the production of various energy-saving new products. In 1998, production of the world's solar

at present, there are 136 countries around the world is investing in promotion and application of solar panels. Among them, 95 countries are mass research and development of solar panels, and the production of various energy-saving new products actively. In 1998, production of solar panels of the world's total output of 100 megawatts of photovoltaic power generation, 2850 megawatts in 1999. In 2000, nearly 4600 global manufacturers to provide market driven photovoltaic cells and cell products. At present, many countries are working on solar term plans, and prepare to large-scale development of solar energy in the 21st century. The U. S. department of energy (doe) launched the national pv plan, Japan launched the sunshine project. NREL photovoltaic (pv) project is an important part of the national pv projects. The plan to work in the five areas of research: monocrystalline silicon and advanced devices, thin film photovoltaic technology, photovoltaic materials, solar photovoltaic components, system performance and engineering, application and market development. Japan, South Korea and a total of eight European countries recently decided to cooperation, the desert areas in Asia and Africa to build the world's largest solar power station. Their goal is to effectively utilize the desert sun resources for a long time, for 300000 users with 1 million kilowatts of electricity. Desert accounts for about a quarter of the world's land area. The program will start in 2001, need 4 years to complete. At present, the United States and Japan in the world with largest market share in solar panels on the market. The United States has the world's largest photovoltaic power plants, power generating capacity is 7 mw. Japan also built a capacity of 1 mw photovoltaic power plants. There are 230000 photovoltaic power plants in the world, Israel, Australia and New Zealand is in the lead.
