      Mitsubishi Electric to Expand Photovoltaic Cell/Module Production Capacity to 500MW by 2012

      Mitsubishi Electric (News) Corporation (President and CEO: Setsuhiro Shimomura) announced today that it will invest a total of some 7 billion yen to expand annual production capacity of photovoltaic (PV) cells, at its Nakatsugawa Works Iida Factory (Nagano Prefecture), and modules, at its Nakatsugawa Works Kyoto Factory (Kyoto Prefecture), in response to a sharp increase in demand for solar power generation systems. This investment will expand Mitsubishi Electric's annual PV production capacity from 150MW to 220MW in October 2008. Looking to the future, the company aims to establish a production system with an annual capacity of 500MW by fiscal 2013 (April 1, 2012-March 31, 2013).

      (1)Increase due to improvements in productivity

      Background

      Recently, the PV market has been growing rapidly, reflecting concerns of increasing prices of petroleum and other materials, as well as increased environmental awareness arising from international activities aimed at reducing carbon dioxide emissions to prevent global warming. Mitsubishi Electric forecasts a global PV market size of 1,950MW in fiscal 2008 (April 1, 2007-March 31, 2008), an increase by 26 percent compared to the previous fiscal year, and demands are expected to continue increasing.

      Having started the residential PV systems business in 1996, Mitsubishi Electric then opened the Nakatsugawa Works PV facility in 1998, where production of cells and modules began. A lead-free solder module2 production line, the first in Japan, was opened in January 2003, the same year as the opening of the Kyoto Factory. Total annual production capacity was increased to 35MW in January 2003, to 50MW in September 2003, to 90MW in June 2004, and then up to 135MW in April 2005. In September 2006, Mitsubishi Electric began production of residential PV inverters for the European market, and in August 2007, the company improved factory productivity, increasing its annual PV production capacity to 150MW. Around the same time, the Iida Factory was assigned to specialize in production of PV cells, while the Kyoto Factory made modules.

      2The first to be produced by domestic (Japanese) silicon crystal solar cell manufacturers (as of January, 2003)

      Mitsubishi Electric expects a 30-percent increase in global shipment volume for fiscal 2008 compared to the previous fiscal year. The company has decided on the investment to meet these increasingly active market demands.

      Mitsubishi Electric also has prospects to obtain stable supplies of silicon wafers, which would become the basis of PV cells.

      As one of the approaches for ”Environmental Vision 2021,“� a long-term environmental management vision of the Mitsubishi Electric Group announced on October 22, 2007, the company plans to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by further promoting PV installation and by developing technologies to increase module efficiency. Specifically, Mitsubishi Electric intends to improve output of solar power generation systems by combining the company's multi-crystal silicon cell technologies, having just achieved the world's highest3 photoelectric conversion efficiency rate4 of 18.6 percent5, with its PV inverters, which have the industry's highest6 energy conversion efficiency rate of 97.5 percent. The company plans to promote these PV systems worldwide, thus contributing to preserving the environment and achieving a sustainable society.

      Mitsubishi Electric raises MW capacity target: constructs new solar cell plant
      27 August 2008 | Fab and Facilities: News

      Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has cited increased demand for its photovoltaic modules for its decision to revise upwards its megawatt (MW) solar cell production targets and the construction of a new solar cell plant at its Nakatsugawa Works Iida Factory in Nagano Prefecture, Japan. The company is also bringing forward its capital expenditure plans by one full year, while raising cell capacity plans from 500MW in 2013 to 600MW by 2012.


      Currently, Mitsubishi is working to increase its annual production capacity to 220MW by October 2008, having separated cell and module production into dedicated plants in 2007. Its Iida Factory now makes cells while its Kyoto Factory made modules.

      The new facility, located on the grounds of its Nakatsugawa Works Iida Factory will occupy approximately 24,000 square meters and be completed in December 2009. The company is investing 50 billion yen to reach its 600MW target.

      Mitsubishi also said that it will improve output of solar power generation systems by combining its multicrystalline silicon cell technologies, which have achieved conversion efficiency rates of 18.6 percent (the highest claimed) with its PV inverters, which boast the industry’s highest energy conversion efficiency rate of 97.5 percent. The company plans to promote these PV systems worldwide.

      Mitsubishi to invest $550 mln to lift solar output


      27 Aug 2008
      bbj.hu

      Japan’s Mitsubishi Electric Corp plans to invest ¥60 billion ($549 million) to quadruple its solar battery production in four years to meet growing demand for renewable energy.

      Spain and Germany are cutting subsidies for solar power, but Mitsubishi Electric and rivals, such as Sharp Corp and Kyocera Corp are betting on growing solar power demand in the United States given high oil prices and fears about climate change.

      Japan’s solar market is also expected to grow, if modestly, with sources saying that the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry plans to seek ¥23.8 billion for subsidies for residential solar panels. “I wouldn’t be surprised if the US solar market passes Europe’s in a few years,” said Aiji Suzuki, who heads Mitsubishi’s production facility Nakatsugawa Works. “In Japan, growth will be a little slower without something like Germany’s feed-in tariff system.” “Depending on the size of the subsidies, the domestic market might just grow by a double-digit percentage in three to four years.”

      Demand for renewable energy such as solar cells and shrewd procurement of silicon gave companies like Germany’s Q-Cells AG and China’s Suntech Power Holdings market share at the expense of companies like Mitsubishi Electric, which was bumped down six notches to 12th place in 2007.

      The company plans to spend ¥22 billion to lift annual capacity at its solar plant in Nagano Prefecture from the current 150 megawatts to 220 megawatts in October. It said it will spend another ¥28 billion to build a second plant in December 2009, raise annual capacity there to 380 megawatts by 2012, and expand its solar sales network in the United States, Spain and France.

      Mitsubishi Electric officials also said the company is conducting research on thin-film solar cells, and may shift production to the new technology. Thin-film uses a fraction of the pricey silicon used in conventional solar cells, but is less efficient in converting sunlight into electricity.

      The electronics conglomerate produces factory automation tools as well as satellites and air conditioners. It has been losing market share in solar power, which makes up 1% of its sales. It expects its solar power sales to grow to ¥170 billion in the year ending March 2012 from a little more than ¥50 billion in the business year ended in March. (Reuters)

      Mitsubishi baut neue Solar-Fabrik: Photovoltaik-Kapazität soll auf 600 MW steigen

      Die Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (Tokio) gab am 27. August 2008 Pläne zum Bau einer neuen Produktionsstätte für Photovoltaik-Zellen (PV) bekannt. Die neue Anlage (PV Cell Plant #2) soll bei der Nakatsugawa-Fabrik in Iida im Bezirk Nagano entstehen. Als Reaktion auf die stark gestiegene Nachfrage nach Solarstrom-Anlagen erweitert das Unternehmen die jährliche Produktionskapazität für Photovoltaik-Zellen. Mitsubishi Electric beabsichtige außerdem, den Kapitalinvestitionsplan um ein Jahr zu beschleunigen und insgesamt 50 Milliarden Yen zur Vervierfachung der jährlichen Produktionskapazität von 150 (aktuell) auf 600 Megawatt (MW) bis zum Geschäftsjahr 2012 (1. April 2011 bis 31. März 2012) zu investieren. Der bisherige, am 19. März 2008 bekanntgegebene Plan enthalte eine Erhöhung der Kapazitäten auf 500 Megawatt bis zum Geschäftsjahr 2013.


      In der im Juli 2008 auf dem Hokkaido Toyako Gipfeltreffen abgegebenen Erklärung "Declaration of Leaders Meeting of Major Economies on Energy Security and Climate Change" betonten die G8 die Notwendigkeit, den Einsatz von erneuerbaren Energien wie Solarenergie voranzutreiben. Mitsubishi Electric sagt einen globalen Photovoltaik-Markt in der Größe von 1.950 MW für das Geschäftsjahr 2009 (1. April 2007 bis 31. März 2008) sowie ein Wachstum auf 4.430 MW im Geschäftsjahr 2012 (1. April 2011 bis 31. März 2012) voraus und erwartet einen weiteren Anstieg der Nachfrage.


      Photovoltaik-Produktion seit 1996

      Nachdem Mitsubishi Electric 1996 das Geschäft mit Photovoltaik-Anlagen für private Anwender aufgenommen hatte, wurde 1998 die Photovoltaik-Produktionstätte im Nakatsugawa-Werk in Iida eröffnet, in der die Fertigung von Solarzellen und Solar-Modulen begann. Im Januar 2003, dem selben Jahr, in dem die Produktionsanlage in Kyoto eröffnet wurde, wurde eine mit bleifreiem Lötzinn arbeitende Fertigungslinie für Module, als erste ihrer Art in Japan, eröffnet. Die jährliche Gesamtproduktionskapazität wurde im Januar 2003 auf 35 MW, im September 2003 auf 50 MW, im Juni 2004 auf 90 MW und schließlich im April 2005 auf 135 MW erhöht.


      Solar-Wechselrichter für den europäischen Markt

      Im September 2006 begann Mitsubishi Electric mit der Produktion von Photovoltaik-Wechselrichtern für Privatanwender auf dem europäischen Markt. Das Unternehmen verbesserte im August 2007 die Produktivität seiner Fabriken und erhöhte die jährliche Produktionskapazität auf 150 MW. Etwa zur selben Zeit wurde die Produktionsanlage in Iida auf Photovoltaik-Zellen spezialisiert, während die Produktionsanlage in Kyoto Module herstellte. Das Unternehmen bereitet sich nach eigenen Angaben auf eine weitere Erhöhung der jährlichen Produktionskapazität auf 220 MW im Oktober 2008 vor.

      Mitsubishi Electric Will Power Large Solar Winery Project
      Gonzales Winery installation will be the largest in Monterey County
      CYPRESS, Calif. – October 7, 2008

      Mitsubishi Electric & Electronics USA's Photovoltaic Division will provide high-efficiency solar panels for one of the world's largest solar projects at a winery. The 1.2 megawatt solar system installation at Constellation Wines US' Gonzales Winery in Monterey County, Calif., will cover approximately 170,000 square feet of the main winery warehouse roof, and will provide about 50 percent of the winery's total energy requirements.

      "Many wineries and agricultural enterprises have already turned to solar as a primary source of energy, and even more are considering it," said Gina Heng, director of sales and marketing for Mitsubishi Electric & Electronics USA's Photovoltaic Division.

      The installation will include 6,358 Mitsubishi Electric 185Wp solar panels, and can generate 1,176,230 watts of DC power and deliver 1,000,040 watts of AC power to the grid. The reduced greenhouse gas emissions will be equal to taking 2,000 cars off the road each year, and the system’s reduced carbon footprint will equal planting 2,500 acres of trees.

      “Many wineries and agricultural enterprises have already turned to solar as a primary source of energy, and even more are considering it,” said Gina Heng, director of sales and marketing for Mitsubishi Electric & Electronics USA’s Photovoltaic Division. “Besides the obvious cost savings, they realize that by reducing the pollution near their farms and facilities, their products will be even better.”

      The annual estimate annual offsets, or pollution avoided, by the solar installation include 1.6 million pounds of carbon dioxide; 1,636 pounds of sulfur dioxide; and 2,909 pounds of nitrogen oxides.

      “We are proud and excited about this solar project,” said José Fernandez, CEO, Constellation Wines North America. “We are committed to investing in technologies that will allow us to produce our wines in the most sustainable way possible, from our vineyards through the entire winemaking process. This installation is one of the most significant environmental projects undertaken to date by the wine industry, and will have a positive impact on the environment, as well as being cost-effective.”

      The project, which is being financed and built by Pacific Power Management and is expected to be completed by the end of the year, will add value even during the winery’s off-season.

      "During the summer months, when the winery is not crushing grapes, the system will export enough electricity onto PG&E's power lines to supply all of the electrical needs for about 25 percent of the roughly 1,695 households in Gonzales," said Kelly McMahon, director of sales for Pacific Power Management, who is working with Constellation on this project.

      Mitsubishi Electric Breaks Own Record with World’s Highest Conversion Efficiency Rate of 18.9% for Multi-Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells

      Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (News) (President and CEO: Setsuhiro Shimomura) (TOKYO:6503) announced today that it has improved its world’s highest conversion efficiency rate1 for a 150 x 150 millimeter practical-size multi-crystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) cell by 0.3 points from 18.6 percent to achieve a new world record2 of 18.9 percent3.


      1: Efficiency that solar light energy is converted to direct current electrical energy.


      2: As of February 18, 2009, based on Mitsubishi Electric’s research.


      3: Results from evaluation by Mitsubishi Electric.

      Background and Summary of Development

      Production volumes of solar, or PV, systems have been increasing as they have garnered attention as a good source of renewable energy, against the background of increased global environmental awareness. While silicon is an essential component in the wafers used to make PV cells, the supply of silicon has not been able to keep up with demand. This is driving research into the development of thinner wafers that not only use less silicon, but also have improved efficiency and increased electrical output.

      In addition to the technology already developed by Mitsubishi Electric to improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency rate in multi-crystalline silicon PV cells, the company has developed a new method to efficiently absorb infrared rays in sunlight, thus achieving a new world record of 18.9 percent.

      Main Features of the Newly Developed PV Cell

      1) 26 percent improved efficiency in utilizing infrared rays with newly developed rear-surface reflection structure

      To increase the photoelectric conversion efficiency rate in PV cells, it is important to absorb and generate electricity efficiently from a wide range of wavelengths in sunlight. Due to the characteristic of crystalline silicon, which has difficulty in absorbing infrared rays, only roughly half of the infrared rays in sunlight can be used to generate electricity, while the other half is usually lost as heat energy after reaching the rear surface of silicon cells. In particular, the thinner the silicon PV cell is, the more difficult it becomes to absorb infrared rays.

      Mitsubishi Electric has succeeded in improving efficiency in utilizing infrared rays by 26 percent compared to the company’s previous PV cells, whose development was announced on March 19, 2008. The newly developed PV cell has a rear-surface reflection structure, which reflects infrared rays that reaches its rear surface to allow the cell to absorb more light.

      2) Low-reflective honeycomb-textured structure

      To increase the photoelectric conversion efficiency rate in PV cells, it is also important to reduce the amount of light reflected from their front surface to take more sunlight into the cells. This newly developed PV cell adopts the same low-reflective honeycomb-textured structure4 as the one previously developed by Mitsubishi Electric that achieved a 18.6-percent conversion efficiency rate.
      4: A hexagon structure with very small bowl-shaped concaves. This technology partly uses the results of the NEDO commissioned project, R&D of Innovative Next Generation Photovoltaic System Technology.

      Future Developments

      Mitsubishi Electric will begin introducing this multi-crystal silicon PV cell technology into mass-produced PV modules from fiscal 2011 (April 1, 2010-March 31, 2011).

      Mitsubishi Electric also aims to increase output of PV systems by combining this technology with its PV inverters, which have a high energy-conversion efficiency rate. The company intends to continue its R&D to improve efficiency in PV systems, thus contributing to environmental preservation and achieving a sustainable society.

      Mitsubishi Electric Photovoltaics Light Up Butte College

      Chico Electric Installs 2,400 High-Efficiency Panels on Campus Hillside

      With national attention being focused on renewable energy policies, Butte College proved its leadership in the use of solar power by unveiling its newest set of solar panels at its Oroville campus on Feb 18.

      The 2,400 185-watt Mitsubishi Electric (News) solar modules make an impressive statement on a sloping hillside near the tennis courts, absorbing sunlight into the solar cells and converting it into electricity. This recent addition of three solar arrays totaling 450 kW DC will produce an estimated 675,000 kWh of solar electricity annually.

      The project will save the college money over time, save on emissions and encourage students interested in renewable energy careers. By taking advantage of the California Solar Initiative rebate, Butte College was able to save nearly $700,000 of the total project cost.

      Other solar projects on the campus include panels at the water treatment plan and a roof-mounted solar array on top of the facilities building. Together, the projects will power 10 buildings and save the college an estimated $40,000 a year in energy costs.

      The college plans to complete the final portion of the solar projects this spring, with more panels near the Physical Sciences building and the Child Development Center. Once the additional solar panels are installed, about half the electrical needs of the college will be provided by solar.

      ”We commend Butte College for moving forward with their goals of becoming carbon-neutral by 2015 and are impressed with the college’s timely plans to incorporate solar energy into its curriculum,” says Gina Heng, director of sales and marketing for Mitsubishi Electric’s Photovoltaic Division.

      The solar electric system was designed and built by Chico Electric, an electrical company with more than 49 years of experience. Chico Electric helped the school meet its goals for this project by donating a portion of the materials near the sewer treatment facility for educational use by students. Classes will assemble and disassemble the panels as training for future jobs in energy technology. The college will also have an educational kiosk on campus where students can see the real-time performance of the solar system and touch an interactive monitor that teaches them how solar works.

      Norm Nielsen, president of Chico Electric, said the industry is currently lacking people who are trained for positions that will be developing as interest in new energy sources grows.

      The campus is already ratcheting up its ”green classes” including launching a certificate in sustainability studies, and offering green building courses and workshops on the weekends. The solar panels will be used this semester to show students solar technology at work, just as the green buildings on campus are toured as part of the curriculum.

      Josh Pierce, associate faculty member, explained that state and federal government energy policies are changing, and many studies are being conducted to find out where future jobs will be available. A solar tech program, for example, may be needed at campuses in the future.

      Mitsubishi takes stake in Acciona solar firm
      AFX News Limited (4. März 2009)

      MADRID, March 4 (Reuters) - Mitsubishi Corp has bought a 34 percent stake in the solar power unit of Spanish contractor Acciona, the companies said on Wednesday.

      Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed. The financial daily Nikkei said in its Thursday edition that Mitsubishi expected to pay "several billion yen."

      The Acciona unit, Amper Central Solar, operates the world's largest photovoltaic power plant, Amareleja, with a capacity of 45.8 megawatts, about 200 kilometres southeast of Lisbon.

      In a joint statement, the companies said the deal was the first step in collaborative projects in renewable energy.
