China's Govt Tax reliefs to solar industries
Chinese ministry of finance announced it will offer
tax breaks to manufacturers of solar power products on Sunday, as China
moves to support an industry still struggling to deal with massive
overcapacity and weak demand. The ministry said
in a short statement on its website that producers of solar power
products will receive immediate refunds of 50 percent of value-added
taxes.
The National Development and Reform Commission provided subsidies for solar power stations in late August.
"China's
bloated photovoltaic industry still faces a grim outlook as many
companies are deeply mired in debts," said a report on the official
Xinhua news service discussing the announcement.
It
cited data from the China Renewable Energy Society saying that the
country's top 10 solar panel makers are up to 100 billion yuan ($16.34
billion) in debt, with a debt to asset ratio above 70 percent on
average.
Beijing has said it wants to
consolidate the industry, but the sector continues to enjoy protection
at the central and local level; the latter is particularly strong
because solar power companies are frequently major employers.
China's LDK Solar Co Ltd partly defaulted on a bond payment in April, then failed to meet another payment on time in August.
China's
Suntech Power Holdings Co Ltd said Chief Executive David King had
resigned from the company in mid September, weeks after three directors
left amid the solar panel maker's efforts to restructure its debt.
Suntech's
Chinese lenders dragged its unit Wuxi Suntech into insolvency
proceedings after it defaulted on $541 million in bonds after the
business was hit by a glut in solar panels.
Largest Solar Power Plant
The largest solar power plant in
the world is expected to be completed by the end of 2012 and officially
open in the first quarter of 2013, solar power giant Masdar has
announced. Shams 1 will have a generation capacity of over 100 MW of
power, and was designed with the stated purpose of providing 20,000 homes
in the region with electricity. The project will be followed shortly
thereafter by Shams 2 & 3, which are planned to generate similar
levels of electricity.

On-Grid Solar-Electric Systems
Grid-tied
Solar Electric Systems, also known as on-grid, grid-connected, or
grid-intertied photovoltaic systems, generate electricity for your home
or business and route the excess power into the electric utility grid.
Off-Grid Solar-Electric Systems
Although
they are most common in remote localities without utility grid service,
off-grid solar-electric systems can work anywhere. These systems operate
independently from the grid to provide all of a household’s
electricity. That means no electric bills and no blackouts—at least none
caused by grid failures. People choose to live off-grid for a variety
of reasons, including the prohibitive cost of bringing utility lines to
remote home sites, the appeal of an independent lifestyle, or the general
reliability a solar-electric system provides. Those who choose to live
off-grid often need to make adjustments to when and how they use
electricity, so they can live within the limitations of the system’s
design. This doesn’t necessarily imply doing without, but rather is a
shift to a more conscientious use of electricity.
How does SS (Solar System Works) ?
Solar
panels convert solar energy (sunlight) directly to
electricity. The electricity is stored in solar batteries and used to
power home appliances in rural and remote location.
Requirements for a Solar System
Following are needed for a solar system.
1. Solar Panel
2. Solar Charge Controller
3. Battery
4. DC Lights
These are things that you must have to turn your lights on. Without them it is impossible to power up lights. Solar system works in this order. Solar Panel is giving current to charge controller. Charge controller charges a battery. And lights are powered up by a battery. In this case it is DC lights.
