BEIJING, Dec 22, 2008 (Xinhua via COMTEX) -- China's solar product producer SunTech Power Holdings Co., Ltd. (STP.NYSE) will design and install a 66 MW solar photovoltaic (PV) power generating system for a large on-grid PV demo power station in Yunan in cooperation with Yunnan Provincial Power Investment Co., Ltd. and other investors.
The 66 MW solar PV power generating system to sever the popular science zone of a large experimental on-grid PV power station in Shilin, Southwest China's Yunnan Province, will involve total investment of 3.58 billion yuan and it is designed to generate 77.04 million kilowatts hours of electricity annually.
The system is scheduled to start construction in December 2008 and be completed in 18 months.
It is part of a 166 MW on-grid solar (PV) power station in Shilin, which is composed of a popular science zone and an experimental solar PV power generating zone with installed capacity of 66 MW and 100 MW, respectively. The whole project involves total investment of 9.1 billion yuan.

Intertek launches PV module testing center in Shanghai
BEIJING, Dec 11, 2008 (Xinhua via COMTEX) --British product quality and safety solution provider Intertek Group Plc. (ITRK.LSE) recently launched a full-service testing center of solar photovoltaic modules in Shanghai in a bid to provide localized services.
As the first one of this kind in the Chinese mainland, this testing center will help local solar product makers gain certifications on global markets and slash the time of export cycle with less payout in this regard.
Greegg Tiemann, executive vice president of Intertek, said that Chinese solar PV producers are enabled to obtain access to world market more quickly since the testing center is situated near major solar product manufacturers in Southeast China's Zhejiang Province.
Now, Intertek could release ETL mark and CE mark for North American market and European market, respectively, in addition to Intertek PV mark.
Meanwhile, Intertek expects to get allowed to issue CB certificate and PV Cap certificate in the first half of 2009, with efforts under way to participate in IECEE CB scheme with 43 member countries.

Chinese producer expects solar energy market to rebound in early 2009
BEIJING, Nov 21, 2008 (Xinhua via COMTEX) -- Solar energy industry will receive moderate and no long-lasting impacts from global financial market, said Wang Runsheng, chief executive officer of China's major solar cell producer China Sunergy Co., Ltd. (CSUN.Nasdaq).
As the main driving force of solar photovoltaic (PV) industry, governmental subsidy policies haven't been removed or delayed due to the financial turmoil, said Wang, citing recent solar-favoring legislative adjustment in France.
Wang forecast that solar PV market would witness up-turn in the first or second quarter of 2009 since many solar module developers holds on to money anticipating price declines in year end 2008.
Plus, the price drop of solar module and systems will trigger additional demands because solar PV products carry high price elasticity.
The industry chain of solar PV business is capable to bear and absorb price decreases in downstream solar system products.
In 2008, the sales price of polycrystalline silicon reached as high as 450-500 U.S. dollars per kg with production cost ranging from 20-30 U.S. dollars.
