Title SEIA Presents 15% By 2020 Plan, Solar Bill Of Rights At COP15
Description Img source:off the grid systems Leaders representing the U.S. solar energy industry reported the potential of solar energy to meet 15% of U.S. energy needs by 2020. The presentation was made at a United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change press briefing in the Bella Center, where the United Nations Climate Conference (COP15) is under way.The "Expanding Solar Energy in the United States" briefing was hosted by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and also featured a presentation of the Solar Bill of Rights, which SEIA says is needed to rapidly deploy solar energy to fight climate change and create jobs. "The evidence is clear on the problem of climate change: we need to do more and do it quicker," said Rhone Resch, president and CEO of SEIA. "Solar energy is our immediate solution. The solar industry is ready now to do more, do it faster and create jobs. The only things holding solar back are antiquated policies developed over the last century that favor polluting sources of energy."In a report released jointly with solar industry groups representing more than 90 countries, SEIA presented an accelerated solar deployment scenario for the U.S. to meet 15% of electricity needs by 2020. Twelve percent would come from solar electric power generated by photovoltaic solar panels and concentrating solar power plants. Another 3% of electricity would be offset by solar thermal systems.The report also noted the key policies needed for the industry to scale up and compete effectively. These policies are conveyed in the Solar Bill of Rights, unveiled by Resch. The platform lays out eight basic rights that give the solar industry equal access to the electricity marketplace and levels the playing field with the fossil fuel industries.  After the shakeout of the thin-film photovoltaics (TFPV) industry this year, industry analysis firm NanoMarkets LC sees a resumption of growth occurring in 2010, creating opportunities for materials firms of all kinds. According to the company's recent report on TFPV materials, consumption of these materials is now expected to rise to $13.1 billion by 2017.Copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) and cadmium telluride (CdTe) have always been sensitive to the atmosphere, especially when used in flexible cells, NanoMarkets says. However, new kinds of encapsulation materials are now opening up the market for CIGS and CdTe in flexible building-integrated photovoltaics applications.Announcements of polymer/ceramic dyad films came this year from Dow Chemical, FujiFilm, DuPont and 3M. By 2017, sales of TFPV encapsulation materials are expected to reach $1.6 billion.The TFPV industry is rapidly moving away from the use of indium tin oxide as a transparent conductor, the report adds. The big beneficiaries in this move will be zinc oxide and tin oxide, whose use is expected to bring major cost savings for the industry. By 2017, almost 90% of the transparent conductor material used by the TFPV industry is expected to be zinc oxide or tin oxide.According to NanoMarkets, sputtering is on the decline for TFPV manufacturing, primarily because of the material wastage. Printing is on the increase, but the true unsung hero of TFPV manufacturing is electrodeposition, which is rapidly growing and proving itself worthy of widespread use. By 2017, TFPV absorber materials that are either printed or electrodeposited will amount to almost $300 million. see more at:charge controller solar panel
