Union as the trading bloc, a group of countries that have agreed to reduce tariff and other barriers to trade for the purpose of encouraging free trade and cooperation, is planning to impose tariff on China’s solar panels. Tariff, tax that is charged on imported goods might alter the free trade situation illustrated in Figure 1. Figure 1: Free trade in solar panels in Germany Figure 1 shows free trade in Germany where solar panels are produced domestically and imported. When there is no foreign trade…

Solar Panel Solar panel is the interconnection of number of solar module to get efficient power. Solar panel is made up of solar cells. Earlier solar cells are of low efficiency and large in size but now a day very high efficient solar cells are available. Solar cell prize much higher, it is difficult to afford solar energy. Solar Cell: Solar cell is a structure that directly converts solar energy into DC electrical energy. Solar cell acts as battery because it supplies DC energy…

Product Launch Plan Solar energy is renewable energy source that opens opportunity for the world to reduce carbon emission and significantly cut cost. Mexico and Costa Rica lie within the Sun Belt region with highest solar radiation. Daily sunshine is evenly distributed in the region making its use potential more predictable and reliable. Additional to the natural endowment, technological innovations offer possibilities for cost effective adoption of the energy to service a wide range of economic…

Communications plan: Solar energy U.S. market demand for solar power is predicted to double within the next year, "thanks to government policies and falling prices" (Sweet 2012). However, a new "tariffs on panels imported from China could contribute to slower growth in 2013, according to a new study" (Sweet 2012). Government austerity measures have forced many nations to cut back on solar subsidies and green investment. For example in Germany,: "that number of solar installations in December…

Solar Panel Government Proposal As a known innovator and otherwise highly successful company in the solar panel installation field, this organization would definitely like to benefit from securing the contract to install solar panels on the specified federal government building with a budget of $500,000.

Nanosolar Inc. Case Study Analysis Nanosolar is a start-up company and expects to be one of the first manufacturers to produce thin-film solar panels using copper indium gallium (di)selenide (CIGS) technology. Nanosolar is focused on selling a single type of thin-film Photovoltaic (PV) module called the “Nanosolar Utility Panel”. The utility panel is 50% less energy efficient than c-Si modules, but being 90% less expensive to produce. Strategic Options: (1) Continue to invest in European…
