Solar Panel Maker Moves to China from United States | Solar Panels - Green Power
這是一個奇怪的現象, 各國政府相繼提高Renewable的國外廠商門檻 文中提到的Evergreen Solar(美國第三大PV Module廠商)卻在中國大陸擴產, 這個動作是想回銷美國還是已經看到中國內陸準備開放的商機?
文中提到, Evergreen Solar在中國創投私募案後, 將在 2011/03前裁員美國麻州的800個工作機會, 並擴大中國的投資. 不曉得這則新聞是否會再度引起Green-Barrier... 國與國的綠色市場屏障.

不論西歐東歐, PV低度開發的國家目前都傾向小型系統(變相整府不積極鼓勵發展), 一方面是擔心自己國內PV產業泡沫化, 一方面擔心被大財團包走大部分補助... 更多成分是否在等待市場價格的劇烈調整才進行更明確的政策決定?

汽車有招回... 沒想到施奈德的PV Inverter也要召回.. Xantrex GT Series 因為不明原因, PV Inverter上的接線盒會整個被吹走?? 這會不會有點誇張, 是沒鎖緊還是螺絲自動鬆脫?

這狀況似乎不只在巴西, 今天在南台灣也聽聞到類似的抱怨... 當初設立風力發電說的多大的發電量但是實際運作後根本不是這回事情.. 且0&M的費用又很高, 一個颱風掃過後... 已經沒甚麼錢的單位通常就讓它成為裝飾品囉.

Verion Smart Home Pilot Run
Verion的Smart Home Pilot計畫, 目前已經可以透過手機控制家中燈源開關, 開關門禁, 影像監控.. 長期電力監控.
算一算MS, GE, Google.... 現在電信商Verion也進來了, 這塊市場的煙硝味越來越重了.

The Green Tech Wish List for 2011 : Greentech Media
The Green Tech Wish List for 2011 : Greentech Media
Green Tech關於Renewable Energy在2011的一些想法....
完整的list說明請連回Green Tech (US)...
Things We’d Like to See Happen in Green Technology:
--The U.S. Establishes Long-Term Energy Policies.
--Time-of-Use Pricing Begins to Spread.
--Coal Peaks. Rising demand, particularly from China, could mean the end of cheap coal.
--Green Tech Stops Being a Dirty Word. In 2010, Mississippi gave $169 million in loans and grants to three green startups to build plants in the state.
--The Holy Grail in Storage Appears. Investors are prowling for a breakthrough technology -- solid state batteries, ammonia fuel cells
Things We Think Will Happen in 2011:
--Utilities Become Hip.
--Solar Expands. Solar companies will ship 18 gigawatts of panels in 2011 (compared to 170 megawatts in 2000), while a growing number of companies will saunter under the magic $1-per-watt mark in manufacturing. It won't be like the titanic growth we saw in 2010, but it will still be positive.
Grid parity could be achieved in parts of Italy and Japan.
--Electric Cars Are a Hit.
--Chinese Becomes Familiar. In 2007, would you have thought Yingli Green Energy or Trina Solar or BYD might become well-known brands? Chinese companies are known for low-cost manufacturing, but in 2011 many will try to establish brand names, like their Japanese and South Korean counterparts decades earlier. China could boost U.S. employment, too. Silicon Valley’s Innovalight sells magic ink to Chinese solar companies, while Suntech, China’s big solar maker, has a module manufacturing facility in Arizona.
--AT&T, Google and Comcast Become Utilities. Communications carriers and computer companies will start to offer energy management services to homes and businesses. Pay $15 to save $25 on your power bill? We’ve heard worse offers.
--Merger Mania Grips Green. Acquisitions, particularly in solar, lighting and efficiency, will continue. BrightSource Energy, MiaSolé and a few others may even attempt IPOs, but the IPO class of 2009 was a mixed bag.
--The Department of Defense Becomes a Market Maker.
Critics might complain about bloated budgets and inefficiencies, but DoD buying is how the semiconductor industry took flight.
Things We Hope Won’t Happen:
--Oil drops to $60 a barrel.
--Clashes Over Wind and Solar Farms.
--LED Bulbs Flop.
--VCs Retreat to the Sidelines. Green may not fit ideally with the VC model, but it remains the best way to take lab concepts commercial.
--High-Profile Companies Backed by Government Loans Sink. Solyndra is the test case.
--The Public Gets Climate Fatigue.
--The Tax Credits Lapse Again.

如果電力不是用來存在電池而是直接套用在淨水應該是滿不錯的!
