2010 Record year for electricity output from solar cells

More effective power generation through new automation

Solar installations can be seen everywhere on roofs and other surfaces in Germany. In 2010, the number of solar cells manufactured worldwide totaled almost 30,000 MW. This was around 120 percent more than in the previous year.

However, it is not enough to install as many systems as possible. Only sophisticated automation can get the most out of the panels, tracking them to the position of the sun and converting the solar energy into electricity with the greatest possible efficiency. Sensors can be used to determine the corresponding irradiation output so that the operator can react immediately to falling values.

The special "Solar technology" issue of elektrotechnik, the automation trade magazine from Vogel Business Media, provides information on what operators and designers should know about this topic. With tips on new technologies, regulations and the latest products from the Intersolar trade fair in Munich, the issue provides information on developments and trends in photovoltaics.    

You can request a free reading copy at RedaktionET@vogel.de.

You can also find the special edition of Solar Technology as an ePaper on the Internet: http://www.elektrotechnik.vogel.de/fileserver/vogelonline/issues/epaperarchiv/elektrotechnik_60911/index.html
