DuPont research, PV powered

DuPont has installed its largest photovoltaic solar energy plant at its Pioneer Hi-Bred Waimea Research Center in Kauai, Hawaii.

Completed in December 2008, the Waimea plant is made up of 1,500 panels produced by Evergreen Solar and installed by REC Solar. The array spans one acre and is expected to produce 706,205kWh annually, approximately 85% of Waimea’s required energy.

This is DuPont’s third photovoltaic power system, after its R&D and business facilities in Wilmington, Delware and Taoyuan, Taiwan.

Photovoltaics International 16th Edition

This sixteenth edition of Photovoltaics International marks four years of production of the quarterly journal. As always, our focus is on efficiency and quality improvement and cost reduction in manufacturing. As 2012 rolls along, companies are falling by the wayside due to supply and demand issues, ASP declines and drastic governmental subsidy cuts. A clear picture of 2012 is offered through papers from the likes of TÜV Rheinland, Fraunhofer ISE, SEMI PV Group and EPIA, amongst others.
Photovoltaics International Lite, Volume 05 - 2011

This digital interactive Lite sees Tom Cheyney follow Agua Caliente’s progress on becoming one of first truly utility-scale PV power farms, where 40–50MW (AC) will be commissioned by the end of the year. We also feature one of the world’s largest silicon thin-film PV power plants, Avenal; a report on warnings of the collapse of module prices from Solarbuzz and PI-Berlin presents tips on PV module testing. A print version of this edition will be distributed at Solar Power International 2011 in Dallas, Texas.
