Emcore Deploys First CPV System in China with the XinAo Group
CompoundSemi News Staff
November 24, 2008...Emcore Corporation of Albuquerque, New Mexico USA, announced the deployment of a concentrator photovolataics (CPV) system in China with the XinAo Group, one of China's largest energy companies. A 50 kilowatt(kW) test and evaluation system is fully installed and operational as part of an earlier agreement. The system is already producing power in accordance with specifications. Compound semiconductor-based multi-junction solar cells operating at 500x concentration, power the system. Emcore says that it and XinAo continue to have discussions about the possible construction of a joint-owned CPV system manufacturing plant in China. The plant would produce CPV systems designed and certified by Emcore. Dr. John Iannelli, Corporate Chief Technology Officer and General Manager of Emcore's Solar Power Division stated, "We are pleased to introduce the first CPV terrestrial power system in China in partnership with the XinAo Group and look forward to pursuing other solar power opportunities in China's emerging renewable energy market."

In early October, Emcore notes that it was granted access permits for its 850-kW commercial solar park installation in the Extremedora region of Spain. In addition, Emcore expects several other pilot sites to be deployed by the end of the year. Emcore says that it is continuing its investment to develop a next-generation system design with enhanced performance (including a module efficiency of approximately 30%) and much improved cost structure. According to Emcore, the new design (Generation III) is scheduled to be in volume production by the second half of calendar 2009. Emcore reported that it has recently responded to several requests for proposals from public utility companies using Gen-III products as its baseline. Emcore says it expects to get positive feedback on the proposals before the end of 2008.
