"Last year, franchised bidding method was introduced in PV power projects. Many companies started to build 10 MW or 20 MW Photovoltaic Power Stations as experimental projects. After the power price is fixed, all companies started building 100 MW projects. As energy developers, we feel rest assured when the power price is fixed."

NREL: News Feature - Tiny Solar Cell Could Make a Big Difference

National Renewable Energy Laboratory recently validated greater than 41 percent efficiency at a concentration of 1,000 suns for tiny cells made by Semprius — one of the highest efficiencies recorded at this concentration.

Their tiny size means they occupy only one-one thousandth of the entire solar module area, reducing the module cost. In addition, the use of a large number of small cells helps to distribute unwanted heat over the cell's structure, so there's no need for expensive thermal management hardware such as heat fins.
