Fes Cruise sail,

Ik heb niet altijd tijd. Maar vanavond op verschillende van de websites rondgekeken die jullie gepost hebben de afgelopen 6 weken. Echt de moeite en bedankt daarvoor!

Wilde ik alleen maar even melden. Waarschijnlijk zijn er nog veel meer stille meelezers van jullie verwijzingen.

.........But SunPower does have some clouds hanging over its future.

Evergreen Solar's (Nasdaq: ESLR - News) IPO in 2000 and the more recent IPO of SunTech Power Holdings (NYSE: STP - News) late last year both bring significant competition to the solar-panel market. Even competition in the DIY market has just heated up, now that.......

Solar or bubble?

UPI Energy SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 23 (UPI) -- This year's solar energy boom might have capital market theorists and skeptics seeing bubbles, but many prominent investors are saying the solar market really isn't too good to be true.

Indicating growth graphs for the wind, solar, biodiesel and ethanol industries -- all of which are rising at dizzying rates -- New Energy Fund Managing Partner Mark Townsend Cox said: "It's the light in the life of an investor when the charts are all looking like this."

Investment banker Riaz Ladhabhoy, Deutsche Bank's vice president of technology investment banking, described the graphs as going "up and to the right in a massive way."

There are about 60 quoted solar companies on the market now, a big jump from the 30 or so last year and the five the year before, Cox told United Press International.

"That looks bubble-like," he said. Stock prices for solar companies are also rising in "Microsoft-ish" fashion -- Solar World traded at 12 euros last year and is up to 140 euros this year, Cox said. But, he stressed, the market really isn't a bubble.

Australia to build largest solar plant

CANBERRA, Australia - The Australian government pledged $95 million in funding Wednesday for two projects as part of its new strategy to combat global warming, including the construction of the world's largest solar power plant.

The projects are the first to be funded under a $379 million package announced earlier this week to prevent global warming. Australia has been criticized over its refusal to sign the Kyoto Protocol on reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The government will contribute $57 million to the $319 million project to build a 154 megawatt solar power plant in Victoria state, which will use mirrored panels to concentrate the sun's rays, Treasurer Peter Costello said.

DSTI en ESLR
DSTI INFORMATION:

1. They produce SILICON-FREE solar panels used to convert sunlight to electricity;they adopt a new technology called CIGS (copper,indium,gallium,selenide) with a vacuum sputtering process on substrate.The company was started in 1997,and they are "sold out until further notice" actually.

2. -The raw polysilicon shortage has slashed growth for the industry from more than 50% in 2004 to a projected 5% in 2006.
-The thin film solar panels on flexible substrate are much thinner and use less raw materials than common silicon solar
panels, they can also be installed almost everywhere.
-DayStar has achieved 16.9% efficiency for Terrafoil Gen I on 1.1cm square, 13.5% efficiency for Terrafoil Gen II on 14 cm square by continuous processes developed for Gen III , the PVs are self repairing and no toxic materials are used in the manufacturing process. Life expectancy is projected to be 20-30 years.
The costs are 2$/watt for terrafoil pvs and 4-10$/watt for lightfoil pvs.
-They are creating a new operating division, the Equipment Development Group in Santa Clara, California, in order to accelerate the development of its Generation III roll-to-roll continous production platform.
-They retained ownership to intellectual property rights in techhnologies relating to CONCENTRATING PV optics in order to
convert heat into electricity (2 us patents, 9 int.patents and 2 int.applications).
-There is known R&D happening now to establish 2x, 3x, multi-junction panels (currently used in the space) which if they deliver >30% efficiency they will obsolete the current silicon panels; the timeframe is 2-3 years.

3. They ship monthly products to Blitzstrom (The amended agreement calls for the purchase of up to 130 MW of DayStar's TerraFoil(TM) product through the end of 2010.
) ,a company based in Germany , the world's leader country for solar panels, and to the chinese company MEG too.

4. They hired many new workers (from 10 to 75) and a new vice president of manufacturing that left the solar silicon competitor ESLR for DSTI.

5. The japanese Honda will start to produce CIGS PVs in fall 2006; "We are serious about solar cells, and in the future will be making hydrogen with them," said Takeo Fukui, president and chief executive officer (CEO) of Honda Motor Co Ltd of Japan.

6. They have a low float of 4.47 millions shares and 6.7 millions outstanding shares; that predicts high volatility.
They have a very low Market Cap compared with other solar players, no debts, 10M$ in tax grants, 12M$ in cash and received $1 million from 2007 defense appropriations bill. They completed 15M$ financing. The best strategy is to invest for the long term.

7. The Chairman Tuttle (formerly senior scientist at the NREL) said that "2006 will be our year", he is very confident of having two 10 MW systems up and running in 07, the first in early 07, bringing in up to "$40 million annually" togheter, and easily replicatable up to first, 25 MW, and then 100 MW. They will add a "significant" customer this year.

8. Solar energy is the only way to produce electricity over the long term (1 hour of sunlight worldwide can produce 14 Terawatts, the amount of energy coming from fossil fuels in 1 year) because fossil fuels are running out and they are the cause of wars, terrorism and climate change.
Solar can satisfy all the 4 Policy Challenges (Energy Security, National Security, Environmental Security and Economic Security).

SunTech Shines On

In August, SunTech Power (NYSE: STP) established SunTech America, a wholly owned subsidiary aimed at expanding the company's U.S. market share. It now appears that the subsidiary has just landed its first big victory.

Earlier today, the company announced a multi-year contract to supply solar modules to a division of SunEdison, North America's largest solar-energy service provider.

The contract is reportedly valued between $50 million and $90 million over its life span. The size of the contract, however, is less important than the speed with which SunTech has landed such a major deal.

The deal offers concrete proof that SunTech is now penetrating the rapidly growing U.S. solar market, and it suggests that the company will likely be a long-term player in photovoltaics. According to the release, SunTech anticipates that most of the modules shipped under the contract will go to California.

This is great news for SunTech, because California recently instituted a $3 billion solar initiative, with hopes of installing 3,000 megawatts of solar power throughout the state by 2018. That goal implies that SunTech has plenty of room for future growth.

Combine these facts with the news of company's latest quarterly report, in which it disclosed that it had tripled sequential revenues and profits, as well as the news of the big deal it signed last week in Spain, and a compelling picture of SunTech's future growth prospects begin to emerge.

SunTech is still smaller than BP Solar (NYSE: BP), Sharp, and Kyocera (NYSE: KYO). However, I think this news should serve as a wake-up call to those rivals that SunTech is a legitimate competitor. It should also draw the attention of companies like SunPower (Nasdaq: SPWR) and Evergreen Solar (Nasdaq: ESLR), because it suggests that the cost and efficiency advantages of SunTech's PV modules are drawing the attention of some large buyers

Glas is breekbaar, betrekkelijk zwaar, n liter water in orbit kost n miljoen dollar.

Dus denk dat thin film meest gebruikt in satellites, als ik op satellite +thin film google heb ik ook meer hits.

Groot budget, mogen een hoop kosten, in space heb je ook geen remming van licht door de dampkring,

n goeie sci-cel doet 21,5% die BP, dus ik schat zo, euhh, 18%
