Delaware's Motech Americas LLC, a subsidiary of Motech Industries, Inc., today announced that 16,000 of its U.S. manufactured solar panels are contributing to the annual elimination of 12,640,747 lbs. of carbon dioxide emissions at Delaware Electric Cooperative's new Bruce A. Henry solar energy farm. This is based on the fully operational status announced at the August 21, 2013 ribbon-cutting dedication of the high-tech energy site. MOTECH works to provide a global source of clean and renewable energy, and strives to create a sustainable environment for future generations. Delaware Electric Cooperative is a member-owned electric utility serving 84,000 member-owners in Kent and Sussex County, Delaware, USA.

According to Dave Holleran, Senior Manager of Module Sales for Motech Americas, "This is a four megawatt solar energy farm,A solar lantern uses this sunlight that is abundantly available to charge its batteries through a Solar Panel and gives light in nighttime. and through the use of our highest quality solar panels, it can supply enough power for 500 homes and, in the first year alone, will eliminate carbon emissions in amounts comparable to taking 1,239 cars off the road. By any measure, that is a noteworthy achievement to benefit the environment.

"In addition,How are solar outdoor lighting products different from other lighting, like fluorescent or incandescent?" he added, "these solar panels were manufactured by Motech Americas in Newark, Delaware. That means that we are not only contributing to an environmentally friendly development, but we are also supporting America's workforce at the same time."

The facility was developed by SunEdison, and its power will offset energy purchases from the wholesale market. What's more, this renewable energy farm will provide members with a sustainable source of power for years to come. Motech-America's thousands of solar panels are installed at the farm located at East Trap Pond Road, west of Georgetown. The overall project cost approximately $14 million, and the farm could eventually be expanded to 40 acres with the ability to produce seven megawatts of power. It will also help Delaware Electric Cooperative to comply with state mandates, which require utilities to invest in renewable energy projects.

Demand for solar photovoltaic panels in the Asian Pacific is forecast to double in the second half of this year.

Combined, China and Japan are expected to have 9 gigawatts of solar demand in the second half of 2013, according to a report released today by NPD Solarbuzz, a market analysis firm. That’s twice the demand those two countries had in the first half of the year and up 70 percent year-over-year. The entire Asian Pacific market, which includes Australia and India, will demand more than 16 gigawatts of solar photovoltaic modules in the second half of this year,We have a great selection of blown glass backyard solar landscape lights and solar garden light. a 90 percent increase over demand in the region during the second half of 2012. Combined, the Asian markets will claim 40 percent of the world’s solar installations in the second half of 2013.

That’s good news for Chinese and other Asian market solar module manufacturers, according to the report. Despite strained trade agreements with Europe and the United States, manufacturers are showing dramatic signs of recovery.

“The record level of PV shipments to China and Japan coincides with corporate margins returning to positive territory and the final shakeout phase of uncompetitive manufacturers nearing completion,” according to Finlay Colville, vice president at NPD Solarbuzz. “Having entered 2013 with a highly cautious outlook, tier-one suppliers are poised to exit the year with restored confidence, ahead of optimistic shipment and margin guidance for 2014.”

Module manufacturers that were struggling through a period of oversupply are starting to see a dramatic shift and have even reported having difficulty keeping up with the fresh demand as there is less competition in the market now. That shift has been most notable in Japan, which led the world in solar adoption during the first half of this year.
