Global Market For Photovoltaics Slated for High Growth Through 2012
According to a new technical market research report, PHOTOVOLTAICS: GLOBAL MARKETS & TECHNOLOGIES from BCC Research, the global market for photovoltaics (PV) is expected to be worth $12.9 billion in 2007. This is expected to increase to over $32.3 billion by 2012, a compound average annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.9%. Global shipments of PV cells/modules reached 2,875.1 megawatts (MW) in 2007. They are projected to grow by 28.6% to reach 3,697.3 MW by 2007, and by a CAGR of 30% to reach 13,724.4 MW by 2013. The rapid growth of PV will be driven by the global demand for energy of all kinds, the potential problems of climate change, the renewable features of solar energy and improvements in PV technology and materials. PV will increasingly be made part of industrial and living structures. New technologies, such as nanostructured thin films and silicon and dye-sensitized solar cells, accounted for just under 0.5% of the market in 2007 but will grow at a 34% rate to reach 19.2 MW in 2008 and then exhibit 50% annual growth to achieve 145.7 MW by 2013. Research and development efforts on these new materials have been constant and results are just now starting to appear.

***JacketStrip 8400 Jacket Stripping Machine***
MANCHESTER, NH: High flexibility, simple operation and powerful drives have made Schleuniger's reliable JacketStrip 8400 an instant success on the market since its introduction more than 10 years ago. Now the machine is available with faster pull-off speed for shorter cycle times and has lower maintenance costs. The JacketStrip 8400 is a durable and powerful jacket stripping machine for large cables with tough insulations. Four rotary blades guarantee high precision centering of the cable and clean incisions into the cable insulation. No blade changes are required for stripping different cables. Its simple operation, reliability and broad application range provide for short operator training times and a quick return on investment. Compared to the original model, the new JacketStrip 8400 is faster and requires less maintenance. Its main technical improvement is a new ball bearing lead screw for the stripping axis, resulting in a 250% increase in stripping speed with no reduction in stripping force. Additional benefits of the new technology are less maintenance and longer service life. Overall, the new JacketStrip 8400 features all the benefits of its predecessor with significantly improved productivity. ---Schleuniger, Inc.

***UL Male Tab Accepts Standard & Locking Quick-Connects -- FREE SAMPLES***
WARWICK, RI: A new UL male tab that accepts traditional "push on" quick-connects as well as their new patented FlatSnap(R) vibration-resistant, snap-in unisex connector is being introduced by ETCO Incorporated of Warwick, Rhode Island. The ETCO Combination UL Male Tab functions exactly the same as a traditional male tab, but also accepts the firm's FlatSnap(R) snap-in unisex connector which is easier to connect and cannot pull apart during assembly and shipping. Requiring a push-pull motion and only 4 lbs. of force to install, the connector locks onto the tab and reduces service incident reports (SIR). Providing a greater surface contact area than conventional UL male tabs, the ETCO Combination UL Male Tab exhibits significant performance advantages when tested per UL 310. It is available in .032" x .250" and other sizes made from nickel plated steel and various high temperature alloys. Applications include terminal blocks, switches, PCBs, and heating elements. ---Etco Inc.
