Germany says it’s cutting subsidies for solar power panels because consumer demand is really high government support for that technologies have become very costly.
Germany has already established a generous subsidy policy to advertise renewables, especially pv cells, but Environment Minister Norbert Roettgen and Economy Minister Phillip Roesler proposed an agenda recently to chop subsidies for solar power by almost 30 %, Inter Press reported.
Analysts suggest the prosperity of solar power is driving costs excessive for that German government, which in December paid a subsidy in excess of $10.5 billion with the help of 7,500 megawatts of solar panels. Read the rest of this entry »

Volt is an electric vehicle, which offers a driving range of several hundred miles and more with gasoline fill-Ups between the batteries and accumulators. The first 35 miles or so Volt can drive their gas and exhaust emissions-emissions-free by using the battery stored in its 16-kWh lithium-ion Battery Pack for electricity. When the Volt battery is running out of gas, the engine-generator extends the driving range to work seamlessly for another 340 miles or so on a full tank.
General Motors will roll out Chevrolet Volt’s to its outlet for test drives.

Taiwan has decreased the feed-in-tariffs by 30% in comparison to last year. The cost of solar power equipments has gone down and hence the feed-in-tariff. The decreased feed-in tariff is applicable for year 2011.
The reduction is impacted by the fact that the Solar Cell cost will decline from 10 to 15 percent. It is expected that solar cells annual global production will be 30 gigawatts in 2011.
“Solar power costs may fall further,” Hwang Jung-chiou, vice minister of economic affairs, said in a press conference in Taipei today.

The sun is preparing to enter the most active part of the course is called solar max. There may be some sun-induced turbulence. Side effects of this phenomenon may result in faulty telecommunications and GPS.
The sun passes through the cycle of high activity and relatively quiet and does not burn a coherent force. Observed in approximately two centuries, sunspots are the most characteristic point of activity. Cycles last 11 years on average, but in the current period, which began in 1996, has lasted longer than usual to get solar max. It is estimated the Solar max will be at peak in mid 2013.
