Dali, Yunnan Province of China Hi-tech industrial development area and source of Chang High-Tech (Holdings) Limited branch signed polysilicon thin film solar photovoltaic project investment function, sign function, 500 million US With the formal end of the dollar high-tech investment projects was held in Dali settled.

Zhouweishuji signature ceremony, Deputy Secretary of State speech Gujarat Ping, Ping on behalf of the Governor presided over the signing ceremony.

It is understood that Dali polycrystalline silicon thin film solar photovoltaic project, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, “Bonn Yunnan province, before the international advanced high-tech projects approximately 500 million U.S. dollars, an annual production output of 40MW production line put the project The total investment in early stage project with “about 40.92 million US Approximate annual gross profit of $ 80 million U.S. dollars and the annual sales income tax may feel, about all the projects into production of 122.76 million US Approximate annual gross profit of $ 240 million U.S. dollars and the annual sales income tax may feel. Project Asia’s largest production base will become thin polysilicon film battery production.

U.S. The selection of five research projects funded Capital Energy Department over 17.2 million U.S. dollars in order to plug the major obstacles in the commercialization of hybrid electric vehicles, particularly to reduce the cost of battery and increase battery life arrived. Five research projects with the United States Advanced Battery Consortium to share the money. Battery research and development money in the end of these studies received 38 million US dollars will reach. U.S. Energy Department contract negotiations stage financing plans are finalized and waiting for Congress to grant. Five research projects are expected to start in 2007 and 2009 will continue to have. Money mainly U.S. Ministry of Energy Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Department S (2007 to 2009 for the financial year) will happen.

Making traditional silicon solar cells involves taking a chunk of extremely expensive silica, sawing it into very thin wafers, connecting the wafers to a metal electrode and turning the substance into a photovoltaic device. Not only is the process time-consuming, each wafer costs as much as $300,000, with half the silica going to waste as grit. 1366 Technologies essentially turns a four-step process into  a one-step process. The company melts the silica directly into  thin wafers in a matter of seconds, eliminating all that wasted silica and saving tons of time and money. Saving time and money means that efficient photovoltaic cells may finally become cost competitive with fossil fuels, an absolutely crucial breakthrough for the solar industry.

1366 Technologies is one of 37 companies to receive funding from the newly created Advanced Research Projects Agency for Energy, or ARPA-E. If all goes well, 1366 Technologies says it will break ground on a demonstration factory as early as next year.
