Honolulu, Hawaii, will accelerate the domestic photovoltaic system installation

Report from Honolulu, Hawaii, Honolulu is to make solar energy systems more easily installed in the family, of the premises to be checked through to hire qualified private contractors. Household photovoltaic power generation system is very popular in the local, this new program will allow local residents to get faster approval permit, "said Mayor Kirk Caldwell.

The program allows third-party contractors, and installation of photovoltaic (PV) system and submitted in accordance with the provisions of the residents planning approval and licensing department to check the installation form irrelevant. Residents can seek private inspection Honolulu did not complete all the necessary checks, requirements within five working days of the date of inspection. The third-party inspection must be undertaken by a licensed contractor to special examination by the Honolulu City PV systems project. Residents choose to hire a contractor, the contractor will pay the regular building permit fee. Third-party fees decided by the independent contractor.

In addition, to provide a convenient option to speed up the photovoltaic detection, the program is expected to help speed up the license of other power, by reducing the unfinished check. Seventeen City electrical inspection, responsible not only for photovoltaic solar grid tie inverter check, need electricity and all other construction license check. This includes new homes, renovation, and commercial projects. 2012 Honolulu will approve more than more than 26,000 building power construction permits.

Urbanization is still in the concept of speculation stage, utterly wrong to take this opportunity to expand the practice of the photovoltaic industry, the photovoltaic project launched PV industry overcapacity will further exacerbate the structural imbalances. The local government should try to reflect on before the photovoltaic industry wrong decisions taken during the "Great Leap Forward", not be before the end of the wave of mergers and reorganizations, must not blind to release the photovoltaic project approval. The concept of speculation will only exacerbate the plight of PV enterprise's survival, the PV industry overcapacity will result in a significant waste of resources.

"The polysilicon Europe 'dual' Wacker Chemie death in the face." An Italian photovoltaic business executives, told reporters. Wacker Chemie polysilicon production about 60% per year sold in China in 2012, exports to the EU of polysilicon china solar panel in China, 95% are produced by Wacker Chemical Corporation, it is foreseeable that the company will be launched by the Ministry of Commerce to the EU, he said, polysilicon "double reverse" investigation greatest impact on company why they want desperately to give it a try.

Photovoltaic Industry Association told a reporter, the Wacker Chemie lobbying the government and downstream enterprises in China on the one hand, on the other hand, under the pressure of anti-dumping taking advantage of the last chance assault exports to the Chinese market. "In February alone, Wacker Chemie exports to China amounted to more than twice the month usually." Reporter learned that, after Wacker Chemie has sought to persuade downstream PV companies in China against the EU polysilicon filed "dual" investigation, it is the main reason: the current lack of effective supply of polysilicon, polysilicon is not high quality, such as blocking imports caused domestic supply of raw materials, the prices will go up.

"That argument really impressed some companies," the photovoltaic company executives said, many downstream PV companies even alleviate the EU's "dual" turn and hopes in Wacker want to use in the EU position and influence to resolve this crisis, at least in a preliminary ruling, the European Union introduced a lower tax rate.

But "dual" floor along with the EU polysilicon, WACKER's commitment apparently come to nothing. 2012 Germany polysilicon in China export volume of less than $ 700 million, with the the EU PV exports more than 20 billion U.S. dollars is not an order of magnitude. "Above analysis. In his view, the EU does not care too much about the EU polysilicon "double reverse". Because polysilicon "dual" mainly in Germany, and the EU will not be the interests of individual enterprises in Germany and China PV "dual" compromise.
