100 million € for solar thermal

Ab März können in Österreichs Bankfilialen und Bausparkassen Zuschüsse von bis zu 6.500 Euro beantragt werden - 100 Millionen Euro für mehr Wachstum, Arbeitsplätze und Energieeffizienz, wie das Nachhaltigkeitsportal oekonews.at berichtet.

Am Dienstag, startet die neue Bundesförderung für die thermische Sanierung von Wohngebäuden. Wirtschafts- und Energieminister Reinhold Mitterlehner und Umweltminister Niki Berlakovich stellen dafür allein heuer 100 Millionen Euro bereit, davon sind 70 Millionen für private Haushalte reserviert. "Der neue Sanierungsscheck stützt den Aufschwung, schafft Green Jobs und hilft beim Sparen von Heizkosten. Jeder in die Sanierung investierte Euro ist gut angelegt", betont Mitterlehner. Mitterlehner erwartet, dass die Förderoffensive im Sinne der Energiestrategie Investitionen von rund 700 Millionen Euro auslösen und bis zu 10.000 Arbeitsplätze schaffen und sichern wird.

"Mit der Einleitung zur Ökologisierung des Steuersystems we can make 2011 100 million euros for the thermal rehabilitation campaign ready. 2014 we have 400 million euros. This is a major step toward more climate protection and help people energy costs and cash benefits to sparen.Österreich three ways: By year four million tonnes of CO2 savings, an economic recovery by a triggered investment worth 700 million euros and the creation and protection of up to 10,000 green jobs, "said Berlakovich.

funding applications can be made directly into the bank and building society branches . The grants are in the form of comprehensive thermal remediation a grant of up to 5,000 € awarded. In addition, there are potential grants of up to 1,500 € for the switch to environmentally friendly heating systems. "All together are payouts of up to 6,500 Euros. The more extensive the renovation, the higher the subsidy," said Mitterlehner. Partial refurbishment are supported with up to 3,000 €, when the heating demand is reduced by at least 30 percent. In order to trigger redevelopment in the cities of pulses, there are special arrangements for owners and tenants in multi-storey housing.

be the deteriorated residential buildings must be at least 20 years old. there the same time, a current energy certificate through their required values of the energy savings are reported. In addition to the application forms are available in bank branches information sheets prepared with answers to frequently asked questions. All details about the promotion is also available on the new www.sanierung2011.at website.

companies to their grant applications from 28 put online in March at the CCP's Public Consulting (www.publicconsulting.at) . The level of disbursements based on the achieved reconstruction quality and the corresponding fall in heating and cooling needs. There is no surcharge is for the combination of remedial measures with technical improvements for more efficient use of energy.

PV research at the highest level

At the University of Constance, Germany were led by Prof. Dr. Hahn Giso two new photovoltaic Department, the European Union (EU) funded research projects raised. The EU-wide project "20plμs" (20 percent efficiency on less than 100 microns thick Industrially feasible c-Si solar cells, www.20plus-pv.eu), with a total of seven million euros, will be coordinated here - is also involved a Swiss university.

Barbara Terheide, vice department director of the Constance photovoltaics, leads the project with research partners from across Europe: the University École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL, Lausanne), the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE, Freiburg, Germany), the National Renewable Energy Centre (NaREC, Blyth, United Kingdom), the company Projects in Solar Energy (PSE, Freiburg, Germany), the solar cell manufacturer Photovoltech (Tienen, Belgium) and Q-Cells (Thalheim, Germany) and the machine producer Mechatronics Systems Engineering (Villach, Austria) are involved in the project .

objective of the project 20plμs is to develop solar cells that are significantly thinner and will still be more efficient than usual. Crystalline silicon solar cells will be created with a maximum thickness of 100 microns, which are simultaneously show an efficiency of 20 percent. It will not stick to pure research: the participating research partners have set themselves the aim of transferring the development of cells in an industrial pilot production line.

"That means that we will do a fitness test to show for practice and that the technologies we develop even at high flow rates are industrially applicable," says Dr. Terheide the challenge of the project together. With a term of three years, the share of funding for the University of Konstanz amounts to about 1.2 million €. The bulk of the budget, over 75 percent are employed as staff for scientific and technical workers, while the remaining funds for consumables and travel to the necessary project meetings will be used.

Terheide Barbara also heads the second of the University of Konstanz raised project: "R2M-Si" (Roll to modules processed Crystalline Silicon Thin-Films for higher than 20% efficient modules). In cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE (Freiburg, Germany), dem Forschungszentrum Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre (IMEC, Leuven, Belgien), dem physikalisch-technischen Abram F. Ioffe-Institut (St. Petersburg, Russland), den Firmen RENA GmbH (Gütenbach, Deutschland) und S'Tile SA (Poitiers, Frankreich) sowie dem Forschungsinstitut SINTEF (Trondheim, Norwegen) sollen hier noch dünnere Solarzellenmodule, basierend auf Silizium-Dünnschichten, entwickelt werden.

Allerdings liegt das Forschungsinteresse in einem kreativen Produktionsansatz: Wie es der Titel des Projekts andeutet, sollen dünne Silizium-Schichten von einem runden Silizium-Kristall abgerollt werden anstatt den Kristall in Scheiben zu sägen. Die in diesem innovativen Vorhaben hergestellten Solar cells should allow an efficiency of 20 percent. The Constance Terheide scientist points out: "If we could manage to develop such a roll-to-module procedures could be made much progress for the production of solar cells. It could be possible to significantly lower costs than before a produce very high-quality silicon. "Even for the" R2M-Si "is a term of three years, in case of total of nearly four million euros is the share of funding for the University of Konstanz around 450,000 €.

Powerful solar

Bislang werden Thermoöle in Parabolrinnenkraftwerken eingesetzt. Thermoöl fließt in den Absorberrohren (dunkles Rohr links im Bild). Auf diese Absorberrohre konzentrieren die Parabolspiegel das Licht, hier wird die Sonnenstrahlung in Wärme umgewandelt mit der für einen konventionellen Kraftwerksprozess Dampf erzeugt wird. In einer neu entwickelten Testanlage wird geschmolzenes Salz durch die Absorberrohre fließen.

Siemens Energy wird zusammen mit dem Deutschen Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) und Partnern aus der deutschen Industrie eine Kraftwerks-Testanlage für den Betrieb mit geschmolzenem Salz (Molten Salt) als Wärmeträgermedium in Portugal . Build Salt is less expensive than conventional heat transfer materials, in addition, a power plant operating at higher temperatures, which means greater efficiency.

Over a period of three years, the plant on the grounds of the University of Evora, some 130 kilometers southeast of Lisbon tested and optimized. The DLR is involved in the planning and conceptual design of the test facility and the training of the collector. DLR researchers will also accompany the experimental farm scientifically. The research project "High performance solar thermal systems (HPS) is funded by the Federal Ministry of Environment. Among the partners in addition to the DLR, the K + S AG and Senior Berghofer GmbH The grounds and infrastructure for the investment made by the Portuguese utility Energias de Portugal (EDP) is available.

goal of the research project led by Siemens is to investigate efficiency and the reliability of parabolic trough power plants with liquid salt as heat transfer medium. This type of solar thermal power plants with parabolic mirrors concentrate sunlight onto a receiver tube, which contains a heat transfer medium. While coming in today's commercial parabolic trough power plants, thermal oil as heat transfer medium used, which has a continuous use of up to allow 400 degrees Celsius, to the test system with molten salt at temperatures above 500 degrees Celsius are run by. In a novel once-through steam generators are the salt of its energy to an attached water-steam cycle. The increase over the prior art steam temperatures allow higher efficiencies of the power block.

salt can be used not only as a heat transfer medium in parabolic trough power plants, already in existing solar power plants is used liquid salt in huge tanks as heat storage. Such power stations are going with a two-circuit system with synthetic oil in the collector field and liquid-salt storage system. If salt as a storage and used as a carrier medium is a two-circuit system is no longer necessary. This leads to a reduction of system complexity and investment.

In the test facility should studied different salts on the application potential of be. These include an advanced form of the usual "Solar Salts," but also salts based on other components. The challenge for the development of new salts is, inter alia, heat transfer materials are low melting point. The potential risk of freezing in the salt-bearing systems, and thermal losses can be reduced significantly. The test facility should therefore be improved molten salt, a custom system design and appropriate operational concepts are developed.

France lid definitely

future is limited, the solar production in France to 500 megawatts of photovoltaic power in the year. The new regulatory system is on 10 March to take effect.

The French government has agreed to a media report on a new system of solar energy. At a ministerial meeting on 22 February will have been a limit to the photovoltaic promotion set of 500 megawatts, as the "Solar Server" reported on calling the office of French Prime Minister. According to the wishes of Prime Minister Francois Fillon is the new regulation at 10 March to come into force until 8 March is still the three-month moratorium on photovoltaic systems. The new regulation provides that the photovoltaic tariffs will in future be automatically adjusted depending on market growth each quarter, it says in the report. Also calls for large-scale photovoltaic solar farms and rooftop installations are planned. The initial tariff lie 20 percent below the feed-1 September 2010. Moreover, should the bank guarantees for photovoltaic projects environmental aspects and there would in future be given greater consideration in approval. The map shows the different levels of solar radiation in France.

According to Fillon, France has reached its own targets for photovoltaics, already in 2012. he expected for the next two years an extension of each of about 1000 to 1500 megawatts. This had been installed more than 2010 was. In the middle of next year, Fillon announced a new meeting with the solar industry to examine the actual implementation of photovoltaic projects. At the time of the moratorium on 9 December had passed a project pipeline of 3,400 megawatts . If emerge at the meeting that the extension is broken with the new regulations could be revised to 800 megawatts, according to the report the limit.

lot of money for little oil

"fear of oil crisis" race subtitled "image" "Help, the oil price rises," wrote the Sueddeutsche and gasoline prices are surging "is now my all. And they are right. Only: That was predictable. The current petrol price of € 1.60 is still not the end - Gasoline prices will be 3:00 to 5:00 €. Not only because of the current political crisis in the whole Arab region. A comment of the journalist Franz Alt.

Even if from now on in all of North Africa would arise democracy, should oil prices continue to rise, because the fabric on which the industrialized countries are hanging like a junkie on the needle comes to an end. Even the conservative World Energy Agency in Paris has found that global Peak oil production is exceeded. Now go back oil production, but demand is rising - China, India, Brazil, South Africa, Indonesia!

But this means that oil and gasoline are much more expensive than today. There are no more cheap gas. The substance is predicted to end the panic on the oil market and driving up prices, even higher. But as economists and discuss the "wise men" of the Federal Government, the existential problems of our country?

The key economic advantage of green energy is not always ignored: solar, wind, hydro and geothermal send us a bill. The raw materials for the supply of renewable energy, there is nothing - except the biomass. Sun and wind are free gifts of heaven. The most intelligent response to the challenge of climate change and to rising prices of the old energy is, as quickly as possible and switch to 100% renewable energy.

That is - according to Hermann Scheer - the "energeticist imperative of our time. The big fuss about the little bit of oil does not pay. But the sun sends us consume every second 15,000 times more energy than all the people present. Nature knows no energy crisis. We only need an oil change - as soon as possible.

D: Further reduction

The German parliament approved on Thursday evening, the reduction in solar subsidies. The black and yellow Bundestag majority voted for the plans of the federal government to cut the EEG surcharge. SPD and the Left voted against the proposal, the Greens abstained.

The plans had the Federal Environment Minister Norbert Roettgen (CDU) on 20 Presented in January: If it is determined in the months of March to May 2011 a market growth that expected for the full year extension of more than 3,500 megawatts, can the solar grants instead of 1 January 2012 has already reduced this year. For roof systems would decrease by 1 Take place in July 2011, for the open space assets 1 September. Gradual reduction could thus be up 24 percent in early 2012. The capping of the so-called green power privilege, originally 1 July was provided in 2011, was postponed to the year 2012th

Solar cuts had been approved by the solar industry,
to even further reduction proposals to fend off some of the energy-policy spokesman for the Union Group, Thomas Bareiss, had brought into the conversation. The SPD had held the strong one-time reduction in July for a smaller, quarter-annual reduction of four to 4.5 percent advocates. You need "a fundamental reorganization of production, can rely on the manufacturers, craftsmen and investors for the next two years," said the SPD deputy Dirk Becker.

are still rare in Switzerland, the possibilities for those who wish to participate without their own property at a solar power system. Solar Media presents such projects in no particular order, below the solar savings association. As variants open a club membership are available for a low amount or a direct participation of 1000 CHF.

is just a number, the club magazine of the current year published. Who is loosely written and read with many examples of enriched leaf, white like all well know, where the journey is to: Towards a far-reaching supply of renewable and particularly solar energy. That the above all a political issue, makes clear the editorial by National Councillor Maya Graf, calling for a clear choice in the upcoming cantonal and federal elections (spring / fall 2011). Especially since it will indirectly set the course for future energy supply in Switzerland.

One of the newer solar-saving projects, financed with funds of the association: House Bordeaux Street in Basel, Power 20.9kWp - concentrated 20'000kWh / a

Wetter, a former TV journalists (including cash check) but a busy president who provides the national perspective - and in the current Journal of the club of car-free Switzerland (CAS - www.clubderautofreien.ch) reported. The context: a transition to a full supply of renewable energy will only succeed if the energy demand is much more efficient - that is, the large consumption items traffic significantly will be trimmed back.

"We would like to have their own electricity in the village" is the article titled, reporting on the project of the Upper Village Oltingen Basel. Where does the club Solarspar as partners of the villagers who want to produce on a barn roof and possibly other buildings, electricity for their own use and feeding into a general network - financial contributions also from outside.

Also, in accordance Solarspar site since it was founded on concrete projects. "Together with our members and lending companies that we actually make climate protection - with photovoltaic and solar thermal systems and solar projects im Süden.» Solarspar blickt also auch über die Grenzen – und beteiligt sich etwa am Projekt Swisswaterkiosk, welches Solarmedia auch schon vorgestellt hat (siehe Artikel vom 5.

D: Energy Consumption increases

Nach Angaben der deutschen Arbeitsgemeinschaft Energiebilanzen (AGEB) ist der Energieverbrauch in Deutschland im Jahr 2010 um 4,1 Prozent im Vergleich zum Vorjahr angestiegen. Der Energieverbrauch liegt damit im Jahr 2010 bei 14.012 Petajoule. Trotz des Anstiegs gegenüber dem Vorjahr liegt der Wert - abgesehen vom Consumption in 2009 - so has the lowest 1990 level.

The increase compared to 2009, there are essentially two reasons . First has led to the extraordinarily good economic trend with an increase in production to increased energy use. Second, the severe winter of 2010 has heating and thus increases the energy consumption. About half of the increase is solely due to the weathering effect.

The Federal Minister of Economics and Technology, Rainer Brüderle: "The long-term trend for energy saving is also reflected in this year we can the topic of energy efficiency issues. better. Therefore, we have given a variety of measures as part of the energy concept an important impetus for greater energy efficiency. The up and down as the energy consumption in the last three years, however, that we can pretend no fixed consumption objectives. Because we do not know that our industry must reduce their production, just because we have a severe winter. That is why I advocate for energy-economic objectives that are flexible enough to account for such effects. "

The annual report of the AG provides energy audits in addition to the precise data of the consumption trends detailed detailed information on energy efficiency, for price and a first assessment of energy-related CO2 emissions. The annual report is therefore a comprehensive and indispensable resource for energy industry Berichterstattungenund searches.

Belectric: Gross-plant builder

From Beck Energy GmbH, S & F Umwelttechnik GmbH and Blitzstrom (Kolitzheim) is Belectric. The companies in the German photovoltaic center Kolitzheim act immediately under a common umbrella brand, which will in particular on the international PV market opportunities.

"With the new brand, we set a tone and express more clearly what we live them for years: We are Belectric. communicate now and act under this single brand, "said Bernhard Beck, a Managing Director of Belectric. For him, the name change of the companies in the photovoltaic center Kolitzheim a logical step, which results from the development in recent years." We in the international market that is increasingly important to establish sustainable, "says Beck. offices in 15 countries worldwide, in including Spain, Italy, North America, the United Arab Emirates and India connect for some time under the name Belectric on.

The former Beck Energy GmbH built already Modules say courted thin-film manufacturer Nanosolar - Responding to a request by Solar Media held it reserved, however, the circumstances and future prospects - the picture is the Nanosolar plant in Luckenwalde (see article of 20 October 2010).



Beck Energy GmbH, last year, according to own data at 269 megawatts (MW), the world leader in building solar power plants in open areas, becomes Belectric Solar Power Plants Ltd. The S & F Umwelttechnik GmbH, with more than 2,600 roof systems installed one of the leading German companies in the PV-roof plant area, occurs in the future than Belectric PV roof systems. The lightning current GmbH, a global distributor of system components, doing business as Belectric Trading Ltd. The companies have now with almost 10 years of history since 2001, a robust product portfolio, ranging from the private roof-mounted photovoltaic system up to the open-space solar power station.

These are handled all the steps on the way to turnkey installation by our own project and installation teams. "The quality of our known solar systems, the service availability and customer-oriented cooperation with our partners continue to remain essential features of our corporate philosophy," Manager Martin explained Belectric Zembsch. Continue to be Belectric interdisciplinary research in all relevant areas of solar technology. "electricity from the sun is one of the energy sources of the future. We want to make a major contribution to making solar electricity to a marketable alternative to fossil fuels," said Bernhard Beck. "We develop our products continuously and are always looking for new solutions."

Special shelters for large parking lots or photovoltaic greenhouses are just two examples of innovations. As a pioneer in establishing itself Belectric electric mobility. Last year, a flexible and cost effective recharging infrastructure developed to allow the energy suppliers and network operators controlled charging and discharging of electric vehicles.

At that time, the start of the financial crisis was the oil price still reflects the rampant speculation in all possible markets. Now the reasons are more tangible and immediately stored at the same time different. because the crisis in the Arab world - and in the oil-rich country on the planet - coincides with a resurgent global economy, wants apparently hot with the unquenchable thirst of the world economy after the lubricant oil. But while the doubts raised about the reserves. Recently had about one of the corporate giants (Shell) warned of the shortage of the precious juice. Since the price was still well below U.S. $ 100 per barrel. Now he is just as clear about it - and also the
heating oil is expected in a short time experienced a further significant price rises, but the 100-liter level rose in Germany already on about 100 CHF. Not a good outlook for those who heat with oil still - nor for those who rush to the petrol-guzzling cars through the area. The price of gasoline
has recently moved to the 1.80 CHF for the normal lead-free version - the sound barrier of 2 CHF likely as not be far behind.
solar Media had already made the past year attention (see Article of 25 December 2010):
The increase in oil demand will tend to lead to effective already

This will not only get the HeizkundInnnen motorists and bad - but also many non-oil-poor states in the southern part of the globe.

It is a competitive sport with reference to the football - Unfortunately only in Germany. Now experience the solar league further appreciation: The Federal Solar Industry Association Partner of cities nationwide competition is at the highest solar plant density. Also, a record number of participants is reported.
The Federal Solar Industry Association (BSW-Solar) is committed to be the partner of the "Solar Bundesliga". This nationwide competition argue towns and villages to the highest per capita density of solar thermal collectors and solar power systems. initiator and organizer is the journal of solar topics in cooperation with the German Environmental Aid. In June of this year to 11 will be announced once the German city champion in the "Solar Sports. Already im Februar hatte sich eine Rekordteilnehmerzahl von 1.639 Städten und Gemeinden zum Wettbewerb angemeldet.



"Der Bundesverband Solarwirtschaft unterstützt die Solarbundesliga, weil dieser Wettbewerb auf sehr sympathische und anschauliche Weise über die Vorzüge der Solarenergie vor Ort informiert",
sagt Carsten Körnig, Geschäftsführer des BSW-Solar. "Die Idee, Solarenergie als Sportart zu kommunizieren, entspricht dem ausdauernden Engagement, mit dem Menschen überall driving in Germany, the decentralized energy systems. "
Solar Bundesliga was in spring 2001 launched and served as inspiration for a number of other solar campaigns" from below ". Among them include the" week of sun, "which the BSW Solar again this year organized from May 6 and to about three thousand events across the country citizens around the issues of solar thermal and solar power together. "We are pleased that the BSW-Solar, with its week-the-sun Team Solar Bundesliga has been cooperating for many years, now officially as a premium partner who is growing, "says Guido Bröer, solar and solar Theme Editor league organizer." Our common goal is to both actions, which follow a similar philosophy and complement each other perfectly, even better coordinate, as in many places there are the same local actors, the use of their information work in the field, both the week of the sun and the solar Bundesliga .

researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE has succeeded, new peak efficiencies for simple to produce large Silicon solar cell to achieve. With respect to the current industry standard advanced cell structures, they could demonstrate that feasible in the near future efficiencies of 20 percent.


More than 80 percent of currently produced solar cells based on crystalline silicon performance. Goal of industry and research is to optimize costs for this workhorse of the photovoltaic further. currently converting the cells on average 14-19 percent of sunlight into electrical energy , the researchers said the 20 percent mark already in sight. The transfer of their results in the production is - parallel to the rapid market development in Germany - the Cost of photovoltaic generated electricity even further. could image ISE Fraunhofer



what it looks like - the industry close to crystalline silicon solar cell with 19.6 percent efficiency are among the best, "says Christian Schmiga, project manager for high-efficiency silicon solar cells at Fraunhofer ISE. The investigated cell structures differ on the one in the type of silicon material, the
is called the base, and the other in the nature of the so-called Emitter, a thin layer, which collects the electrical charge carriers. This is called n-type solar cells, if the base is negative and p-type solar cells, if the base is positive conductive. Here, the emitter is always reversed polarity to the base. "The production of the emitter, we used three different techniques: aluminum alloying and boron diffusion for the p-emitter of our n-type solar cells, and phosphorus-diffusion for the n-emitter p-type of our" solar cells, Christopher Schmiga.
For an n-type silicon solar cell with aluminum-alloy emitter, the researchers now achieved an efficiency record of 19.3 percent. They turned to the emitter forming the simple screen-printing of an aluminum-containing Paste, gefolgt von einem kurzen Hochtemperatur-Feuerschritt an. Ebenfalls für eine n-Typ Siliciumsolarzelle, aber mit einem Bordiffundierten Emitter, dessen Oberfläche durch eine zusätzliche neue Schicht aus Aluminiumoxid (Al2O3) passiviert wird, konnte Armin Richter, Doktorand am Fraunhofer ISE, einen Wirkungsgrad von 19,6 Prozent demonstrieren. Als weiteres wichtiges Ergebnis erzielten die Wissenschaftler für p-Typ Solarzellen mit Phosphor-diffundiertem Emitter und unter Anwendung der am Fraunhofer ISE entwickelten und patentierten Laser-fired-contact (LFC) Technologie 19,6 Prozent Wirkungsgrad. Alle Solarzellen wurden auf 125 x 125 mm2 großen einkristallinen Siliciumscheiben gefertigt. Ein großer Vorteil ist, dass bei der Herstellung no complex alignment or patterning steps are required, what the process flow much easier and faster. Fraunhofer ISE developed over almost 30 years, new high-efficiency silicon solar cells. Drawing on the latest results of the Freiburg researchers efficiencies above 20 percent for the mass production of silicon solar cells in the near future.

Und da zeigen sich ausserordentliche Zahlen für 2010 – was allerdings nur jene überraschen kann, die das gewaltige Marktwachstum des vergangenen Jahres nicht wahrnehmen wollten. Der weltweite Photovoltaik- (PV) Markt – also die direkte Umwandlung von Sonnenlicht in Strom über PV-Anlagen hat sich schlicht und ergreifend verdoppelt. Installiert wurden gemäss übereinstimmenden Aussagen verschiedener Marktbeobachter rund 16 Gigawatt (GW) an neuer Leistung. Die provide, as mentioned by the way, already as much electricity as two large nuclear power plants.

(the image comes from the state of the art production in China). Closely followed - and that's a big surprise in two ways - by one of the most expensive module manufacturers, the American Sunpower . They not only increase the earnings forecast for the current Year but announced in 2010 a remarkable profit of 179 million U.S. $ according to a turnover of 2.2 billion. This means a return on sales of a classical industrial production companies remarkable eight percent. This also means: There is, meanwhile, globally at least three such companies that have already exceeded the sales threshold of
two billion U.S. $
. The good result Sunpower-associated, and this is the second surprise, with a sharp increase in the share price by around 50 percent within six months - but had also left after Sunpower powerful springs. Shiny
another Chinese company: Yingli
will accordingly aggressively expand its capacity. 2010 it has doubled in analogy to the growth of the total market sales of solar modules. Overall, were 1061.6 megawatts have been delivered, told Yingli. When sales reached a new premium sponsor of FC Bayern Munich in the last fiscal year the equivalent of 1.39 billion euros. are also on German companies before numbers. Solar media reported extensively on the first of profits available from Solar World (see article from). It showed a sales increase of 42 percent sales jump by 29 percent and profit increased by 50 percent. In fact, the German industrial giant to be successful business year look: For the money in annual sales rose in 2010 to 1.3 billion euros, the profit was 89 million euros. 2009 there were 59 million euros. Remember this: Even with Solar World ROS was around seven percent. Networked by contrast, the image at two other major German cell and module manufacturers. Q-Cell's least managed after a disastrous time with the least loss of billions of returning to profitability: sales for 2010 increased compared to the previous year by more than 70% to a total of 1.35 billion euros (2009: 790 4 million €). Operatively showed an EBIT of 82.3 million euros at the end after all, is a gain of 19 million - but also nourished from divested businesses. The turnaround has not yet made it on the other hand
Conergy, which made available this Wednesday its financial results: Sales were up specifically by about half to 913 million euro (and thus soon reached the pre-crisis, which had once stood over a billion ). But due to unscheduled depreciation - whatever that may mean for a company undergoing restructuring - resulted in the end a (still) reduced loss of 13 million.
is also to equipment manufacturers already have a very positive result: Centrotherm
just released its figures: The company equips reputable solar companies and industry newcomers with turnkey (turnkey) production lines and individual plants for the manufacture of silicon solar cells and modules and thin film modules. The sales increase was 22.6% (to 624.2 million euros). Operating profit before interest and tax (EBIT) doubled to 75.4 million euros (2009: EUR 37.2 million).
The question remains why the stock exchanges neglect if so many positive messages (with the exception of Conergy), the industry as a whole continues to say the least.
Even in the face of good news hardly came to euphoria, the short-term profits quickly equalized - To extremely low levels. The industry is no doubt, a great deal of uncertainty - and love the inside investor means least, a few speculators least likely to irritate it too. The market value is about a World Solar hardly as much as one year's sales, the price-earnings ratio is 10 to 15, so deep. The uncertain political environment
must first serve for an explanation - the promotion of solar industry is in many countries are on a knife edge. However, the cost reduction potential for the industry is still intact - promising a production that is entirely in the future. The competition China
has to serve also as an explanation - but: Sunpower Solar World and also produce about already in Asia. Perhaps the conflict is simply the explosive success of the industry based, which looked like a huge on on the stock market now the divers -
follow the upward movement will again.
