Azure Power Starts Operating 35 MW Rajasthan Solar Plant

Azure Power India Pvt., a developer of solar plants, said it has started a 35 megawatt plant at Nagaur in the northern state of Rajasthan. The plant was built beside an existing 5 megawatt unit, making it the largest under India’s National Solar Mission, Inderpreet Wadhwa, chief executive officer, said in a telephone interview from New Delhi.    The 40-megawatt project, awarded under phase one of India’s Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission, supplies power to state-owned Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Ltd., according to an e-mailed statement from the New Delhi-based company. The project was funded by the Export-Import Bank of the U.S. and was supplied with thin-film solar modules made by First Solar Inc. of Arizona. India is currently building 1,000 megawatts of solar power plants and is in the process of tendering for 2,000 megawatts more projects, Tarun Kapoor, joint secretary in the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy said on Feb. 7. 阅读全文

Dyesol Delivers DSC Equipment Package to Researchers in Brunei

Dyesol has recently delivered and installed a compact DSC Laboratory Test Cell Equipment System for the University of Brunei Darussalam over the past month. This package provides the customer with the ability to produce DSC Test Cells through the use of Dyesol’s proprietary Test Cell Assembly Machine and provides the customer with the ability to conduct DSC testing through the use of Dyesol’s class AAA Solar Simulator in conjunction with Dyesol’s proprietary Universal Photovoltaic Testing System software package.    This equipment package has significantly increased the capabilities of University of Brunei Darussalam to reproducibly construct DSC Test Cells.  Reproducibility is extremely important (essential) for ongoing and higher level DSC research. Consistent and repeatable results ensure material sets, new designs, methodology and processes can be logically and scientifically refined and activity progressed.   阅读全文

Solarworld Introduces All-American Solar Financing

SolarWorld has launched the SolarWorld Freedom™ Plan, the solar industry’s first financing program dedicated exclusively to American-made solar products. The program is designed for homeowners seeking freedom from rising utility costs by replacing a portion of their electricity bill with a low monthly solar-power payment. Unlike competitors’ financing programs, the SolarWorld Freedom™ Plan guarantees the use of high-quality American-made solar panels in every installation, responding to American consumers’ recently surveyed strong preference for products made in the USA.   “The majority of leased solar systems installed in the U.S. last year relied on imported panels from China,” said Rusty Pittman, director of marketing for SolarWorld Americas. “Increasingly, Americans are seeking out U.S.-made products not only to provide them with quality, safety and environmental assurances but also to enable them to invest in their local and national economies.”   American consumers have a strong belief that American-made products are of better quality than imports, according to a survey released last month by Harris Interactive and the Made in the USA Foundation. In fact, 75 percent of U.S. consumers said they would pay more for American-made products of the same or better quality than imported goods.   With zero-down, low-down and prepaid options, the SolarWorld Freedom™ Plan gives homeowners the freedom to choose how they finance their American-made solar investment and minimize their upfront costs. The plan is offered in conjunction with SolarWorld’s complete solar-electric systems, which include photovoltaic equipment, installation, monitoring services, system insurance and maintenance for up to 20 years.   SolarWorld launched the Freedom™ Plan in California this month through its network of authorized installers. In the coming months, SolarWorld will expand the Freedom Plan into additional U.S. solar markets, including Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York. 阅读全文
