As the credit crunch, and rising costs, squeeze the wallets of almost every business, the need to cut costs and improve efficiency is more important now than at any point in the last few decades. Together with uncertainty around the impact of human activities on the climate, these pressures are driving a move towards ‘green’ or ‘energy-efficient’ computing.

Best Practice in Green IT: Implementing Green IT in the enterprise and its cost benefits is a new report that examines the impact that business and IT is having on the environment, and why this is becoming a board-level issue. It also provides a guide to how organisations can cut their energy consumption, and therefore carbon footprint and annual energy costs, throughout the organisation and over the lifecycle of IT equipment, from the desktop and office consumables to the data center and the recycling of electronic equipment.

Understand how legislative responsibilities of organisations regarding the environment and e-waste, provides a comprehensive guide to the growing trend of ‘Green IT’ with this new report…

This new report will enable you to…

• Forecast annual cost savings available by correctly using power management features on PCs and estimates for the increase in world energy demand over the coming years.
• Understand the impact that server virtualisation can have on cost savings, energy efficiency and the environment with recommendations for cutting energy consumption and reducing costs in the data center.
• Access how environmental legislation impacts the use of IT in business organisations and why political, legislative, ethical and consumer pressures will mean that organisations that don’t take their environment responsibilities seriously will be at a disadvantage.
• Create more effective foundations for ‘Green IT’ to be integral part of your company strategy by using this report’s analysis of the latest market trends and how simple, low-cost energy-saving policies can have a significant impact on the bottom line and boost your organisation’s brand image.

Key questions answered by this report…

• What are the costs of server cooling over a three-year period versus procurement costs?
• Why is lifecycle asset management the most important issue in Green IT?
• Which IT equipment is the least energy-efficient?
• How much can energy-efficient desktop equipment save a typical organisation?
• What impact can simple, low-cost policies have on the bottom line and the environment?
• Why is power management so important in Green IT?

Key findings from this report…

• In the US only 10% of unwanted or obsolete PCs are currently recycled; 80% of the US’s 500m PCs are sent to Africa, China or India.
• Total global energy demand is predicted to increase by 60% by 2030, with emerging economies, China and India together accounting for 45% of this increase.
• Switching to ‘green’ energy-efficient PCs and turning PCs off at night would equate to annual savings of around £305,000 for a typical FTSE 200 company. Computers with ‘sleep’ mode use 60% to 70% less energy than PCs without, equating to $15-$40 savings in energy costs per PC per year.
• Worldwide data centres waste 875m kWh of energy every year an equivalent to 436m kilograms of CO2. The number of servers in data centers is increasing annually by 18%. Virtualisation of servers in the data center can boost efficiency, dramatically cut power consumption, and result in significant cost savings.

The US is the dominant Solar PV market in the world with remarkable growth observed during the period 2001-08. The market has grown from 168 MW in 2001 to around 1,111 MW by the end of 2008. The unprecedented growth witnessed by this market is credited to the supportive policy framework of the country for the Solar PV technology in collaboration with high-end solar investments by major companies like First Solar, Inc.; GE Energy and Solar World AG.

First Solar, Inc., a leading thin-film module manufacturer in the US has made a mark for itself in the US Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Market. The company was incorporated in 1999 with headquarters in Phoenix, the US. The common stock of the company is traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market under the symbol FSLR. The company’s modules utilize a thin layer of cadmium telluride semiconductor material for the purpose of converting sunlight into electricity. First Solar’s expertise of manufacturing low cost thin-film solar modules without the use of crystalline silicon has given the company a competitive edge in the solar module market. This is indicative from its latest fourth quarter results wherein the company announced the reduction in the manufacturing cost for solar modules to 98 cents per watt, breaking the $1 per watt price barrier. According to the statement of Mike Ahearn, First Solar Chief Executive Officer, this achievement of the company marks a milestone in the solar industry’s evolution toward providing truly sustainable energy solutions. By providing clean and cost-effective solar energy source, First Solar offers an economic and environmentally responsible alternative to the existing fossil-fuel electric generation.

First Solar, Inc. is focused on providing renewable energy solutions to protect and enhance the environment. For this, the company has set the benchmark for environmentally responsible product life cycle management by introducing the industry’s first comprehensive collection and recycling program for solar modules. As per the Pre-funded Collection and Recycling Program, anyone in possession of a First Solar module can participate in the program and request that modules be collected for recycling at any time. First Solar finances the cost of the program by pre-funding the expected future costs in a protected account. The recycling process enables all components of the solar module to be treated and processed into new modules or other products. By implementing collection and recycling programs, First Solar is preventing the modules from entering the waste stream of local communities. The entire process enables the company to create a perpetually sustainable cycle that continually reduces hazardous air emissions and removes solid waste from the environment. In this way, the company manages the product life cycle, from raw material sourcing through end of life collection and recycling. This program rightly substantiates the mission of the company ‘to create enduring value by enabling a world powered by clean, affordable solar electricity’.

The company principally operates in North America, Europe and Asia. The fundamental business of the company is to provide solar modules to large scale, grid-tied Free Field solar power plants Commercial Rooftop Systems, and Residential Rooftop Systems. The total thin film solar modules manufacturing capacity of the company have expanded to an expected 735 MW in 2008. The company has supplied solar modules to the major solar parks located in the US and Germany. Köthen Solar Park (15 MW), Michelin Solar Park (9 MW) in Germany and El Dorado Energy Solar Project (10 MW), Springerville Generating Station (4.59 MW) in the US are among the largest solar parks where the company’s modules are installed. The company has also delivered solar modules to many other smaller solar parks in Germany, Spain, Italy, the US and Korea with capacity ranging between 0.001 MW - 6 MW. The company has rightly leveraged the opportunities offered by the German and the US market to benefit the company in terms of greater profits. This is reflected in the inclining trend in the company’s revenues with $1,246.3 million recorded in the fiscal year ending December 27, 2008 up from $504.0 million in fiscal year 2007.

In an effort of continuous improvement, First Solar monitors module performance in a wide range of power plant applications through independent, third-party data collection. Additionally, the company partners with leading system integrators, independent power project developers, and utility companies to implement turnkey solar power systems. First Solar has also served as a developer to El Dorado Energy Solar Project with a capacity of 10 MW. In the future, the company will serve as a supplier of thin-film solar modules to the Waldpolenz Solarpark in Germany with the total capacity base of the plant expected to be 40 MW. In addition to this, the company has also been selected by Masdar Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company to supply 5 MW of its thin film solar modules to be part of the largest grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system in the Middle East. This system will supply power to Masdar City, the world’s most ambitious sustainable development to date.

The future prospect of the company appears to be optimistic with additional plants under construction bringing the total module capacity of First Solar to more than 1 GW by the end of 2009. The company’s strong growth plans accompanied with the recent extension of Investment Tax Credits (ITC) for solar PV technology till the year 2016 offers significant growth opportunities to the company. This would enable the First Solar, Inc. to scale to new heights in the long run.

Report covering all aspects of the new photovoltaics
This comprehensive report, updated and revised in March 2009 to take into account the global economic situation, gives a thorough analysis of printed and thin film photovoltaics and batteries, with 10 year forecasts to 2019. Included are detailed profiles of 48 companies working on the many different types of technologies.

The report covers companies, research institutes and universities that are active in developing and commercializing thin film technologies for photovoltaics and batteries. Photovoltaic technologies covered include CIGS, CdTe, DSSC, a-Si and organic photovoltaics. Learn how these technologies (each at a different stage of development and adoption) are driven forward by both government and leading companies in the field.

The report also describes materials (both organic and inorganic) and device structures as well as various high-speed printing technologies employed.

IDTechEx find that the market for thin film inorganic photovoltaic technologies beyond crystalline silicon will reach at least $20 billion in 2014. The global solar energy market is expected to reach $34 billion in 2010 and $100 billion in 2050 and most of that latter figure is expected to be achieved by non-silicon photovoltaics.

Along with other manufacturing techniques, printing (or printing-like) technologies are gradually being adopted (Nanosolar, G24 Innovations in the PV sector, Power Paper, Solicore and Thin Battery technology in the batteries sector), as they can be considered to be some of the fastest, least expensive and highest volume manufacturing techniques. With printed electronics becoming more prevalent, there is an increasing need for power to supply them; printing is amenable to a large number of different types of devices with the possibility of integration (e.g. to provide onboard power etc.)

This report provides a comprehensive list of key companies that are active in each of the thin film photovoltaic and battery technologies. Compiled and analyzed by Dr Harry Zervos, technology analyst with IDTechEx, company profiles are given along with 20 year forecasts for the growth of the market share of these technologies. Dr Bruce Kahn, consultant and academic, gives a thorough analysis of the science and technology behind thin film photovoltaics and batteries, as well as a comparison of different high-speed printing techniques.

New Technologies Emerging
Silicon photocells are seen in many places but the technology is limited. Crystalline silicon will never give tightly rollable devices let alone transparent ones or even low cost power generation on flexible substrates.

Fortunately there are many new alternatives. Proprietary nano-particle silicon printing processes are developed by companies such as Innovalight and Kovio and it promises many of the photovoltaic features that conventional silicon can never achieve. It can be printed reel to reel on stainless steel or other high temperature substrates.

However, most of the work on the next generation of photovoltaics is directed at printing onto low cost flexible polymer film and ultimately on common packaging materials. The main contenders are currently:
CIGS
CdTe
DSSC
Organic Photovoltaics

Several companies, universities and research institutes are hard at work in different development stages of these technologies with large scale plants being built across the globe.
