DEK Solar will be showcasing its new scalable photovoltaic metallization platform at this year's Solar Power International exhibition, October 12-14, 2010 in Los Angeles.

AEG Power Solutions' new Thyrobox PI power system is expected to set new efficiency standards in polysilicon production, allowing manufacturers of polysilicon to increase the production output of their existing polysilicon reactors by 10 to 20%.

Corning and Oerlikon Solar have achieved a record-breaking 11.9% stabilized conversion efficiency in a silicon-tandem, research-size photovoltaic cell.

Oerlikon Solar's new production line "ThinFab" for manufacturing thin film silicon modules is said to achieve record breaking production costs of €0.50 per watt peak (Wp).

Henkel will display the company's most recent innovations in electrically conductive adhesive (ECA) technology in Hall 1, Level 3, Stand A14 at the European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference (EU PVSEC) in Valencia, Spain.

China will likely introduce more measures in the coming year to support the development of cleaner energy, boosting shares of solar companies, according to National Clean Fuels Inc.

GT Solar's SDR400 reactor can produce greater than 400 metric tons annually of polysilicon, and lowers electricity consumption by approximately 20 percent for each kilogram of polysilicon produced over the company's previous generation reactor.

LDK Solar Co., Ltd., a leading manufacturer of multicrystalline solar wafers and PV products, today announced that it has expanded its vertical manufacturing by successfully completing the installation and trial runs of the first production line of solar cells in its newly installed manufacturing facility in Xinyu City.

Rising concerns about the need to reduce CO2 emissions and increase the use of renewable energy sources worldwide will stimulate the global photovoltaic market.

Heraeus Global Business Unit Manager Andy London announced the recently implemented capacity expansion has already resulted in major production enhancements.

As 2010 approaches, I-Connect007's European Editor, Pete Starkey, decided to take a look back at the year's top technical articles--compiling a list of the most popular articles across the site.

It was surprising for most (for sure, for me) in the audience to hear someone so close to the solar industry express so much cynicism. That's just what Paula Mints, Principal Analyst for market research firm PV Services, which has focused on the solar industry for the past 20 years, delivered to the audience.

The "cost per watt" wars will roast many of those venturing into solar. The opportunities may seem great on the surface, but they aren't a match for most PCB, PCBA or EMS companies.

Remote sensor nodes--used for energy harvesting and environmental monitoring--were the talk of the Sensor Expo in Chicago, Illinois. Will these motes fuel the next killer app for the electronics industry?

PCB fabricatiors and assemblers, and their respective suppliers, are investigating opportunities in the solar market. Quantum Solar Group Founding Partner Gene Weiner, an IPC Hall of Fame recipient, discusses some early findings in his group's upcoming solar study entitled "Navigating the Solar Maze."
