Solar business from Korea

yesterday morning, solar powered airplane has success test flighting in Swiss this airplane is developed by "solar implus" it's test flighting 87 min. over 1,200m height this airplane has 44 10HP electrical motor with high eff. battery, powered by 11,628 Sunpower high eff. PV solar cell on 62mtere wing, Average flying speed 70 km/h, maximum altitude 8,500 m, weight 1,600 kg and take-off speed 35 km/h        

March 18, 2010 SunPower Corp. (Nasdaq: SPWRA, SPWRB) today announced financial results for its 2009 fourth quarter and fiscal year 2009 which ended January 3, 2010. Sunpower is one major supplier of PV solar system and solar panel in Worldwide his revenue is a little increase than last year but decrease gross margin to 20% from 24% the last year specially his system div. decrease revenue and gross margin component div. is increase revenue but little decrease margin also Sunpower has focus develop business of PV solar electrical generation therefore acquire major develop company in Europe, who is SunRay renewable energy With the acquisition of SunRay Renewable Energy, Sunpower will significantly increase demand visibility by adding more than 1,200 MW of Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) power plant opportunities 

A solar module prototype developed by SunPower has clocked a 20.4% efficiency in tests, confirmed by the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL). The 333W full-sized solar panel consists of 96 third-generation cells with a total panel area of 1.6m 2 . The prototype was funded the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) under its Solar America Initiative (SAI), which was awarded to SunPower approximately two years ago. Using the company’s technology, which yields cells that boast a minimum of 23% efficiency, the company used larger area cells cut from a 165mm diameter ingot. The prototype was also treated with an anti-reflective coating for maximum power generation. The company expects to launch the new 20.4% efficiency module on the market within the next two years. SunPower has announced its intention to initiate a solar panel manufacturing facility in the U.S. utilising automated equipment designed and created using the SAI funding.
