The meeco Group spreads its wings to the land endowed with sunshine as well as an appetite for additional power, INDIA, by establishing a subsidiary based in NCT of Delhi—Gurgaon. India is poised to expand its role in PV adoption and become a leading destination for such technology. Specific drivers for PV in India include the country’s rapidly rising need for primary energy and electricity, the persistent energy deficit situation, the country’s overdependence on coal for electricity generation and on oil and gas imports (amounting to 7 % of its GDP). Recent policy announcements made by the government of India’s Ministry of Renewable Energy have given an impetus to expand this industry in India. These factors, coupled with abundant irradiation (most parts of the country enjoying 300 sunny days a year), make PV particularly attractive to the country’s energy strategy.

There is also enormous potential for off-grid PV deployment, in India, based on real needs and benefits, in the areas of rural electrification, servicing the power requirements for India’s rapidly growing telecommunication infrastructure, defense applications and powering irrigation pump sets.

Mr. Suresh C. Pahwa and Mr. Tarun Munjal are leading meeco’s Indian operations as Directors based in Gurgaon. They are further expanding our local organization, which will be integrated into meeco’s global delivery model and expertise. This geographic expansion will further support The meeco Group’s important goals of reducing carbon emissions and spurring economic growth throughout the world by creating reliable and affordable renewable energy.

The meeco Group supports a scout camp of the German Association of Protestant Girl Guides and Boy Scouts (VCP) from July 29 – August 7, 2010 in Almke, Germany (near Wolfsburg).

On the weekend of May 21st, 2010, Jacobo “Bobi” Maldonado won a big class with a jump off in an international show jumping championship in Ponte de Lima, Portugal. With his 14 year old horse “SunCarrier Rocky” he twice had clear rounds and was faster then all other riders who had qualified for the jump off at the three-star international. He celebrated his victory in the evening at the award ceremony (see first photo below).

The second photo (shown below) also features Bobi with another of his horses, the 10 year old Holsteiner mare “SunCarrier Allitalia”, also in Ponte de Lima. Together they finished 5th out of 31 participants in the Portuguese Grand Prix. The week before, on May16th, Bobi participated with SunCarrier Allitalia in the international two star competition big class in Toledo, and came in fifth.

In Badajoz in early May, another of The meeco Group’s equestrians, Aurelio Gutierrez (see third photo below), won two trophies in a Spanish national two-star show jumping competition with his horse SunCarrier Joy de Talma. In a further competition organized by the Ministry of Agriculture of Segovia for promoting young horses, Aurelio won three classes during the weekend of May 14th. Aurelio Gutierrez can add these victories to his success story, since in April he also earned third in the one star national Grand Prix in Pineda, near to Sevilla, with Suncarrier Chirigota W, his 7 year old mare.

The meeco Group is presenting its latest portable energy solution, the sun2go, at the Renewable Energy Exhibition (Salon des Energies Renouvelables) in Paris. Located at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, it’s more than just an exhibition–the show is an annual forum bringing together qualified exhibitors and professionals spanning the entire sector of renewable energy.

From 16-18 June at stand C26 in hall 1, The meeco Group, together with a+f GmbH (subsidiary of Gildemeister AG), will use this exhibition to talk to customers and partners and present the SunCarrier, SkyCarrier, and sun2go products. The SunCarrier is a tracking system for photovoltaic modules based on a circle-formed rail system, which follows the sun throughout the day like a sunflower and harvests 30% more solar energy then traditional, fixed systems. The SkyCarrier is a tracking system for open-space solar installations situated near the equator (where the angle of the sun can be up to 90°). Because it tracks along the horizontal axis, the photovoltaic modules are optimally aligned to the sun in these locations.

The meeco Group is also presenting the sun2go, an independent photovoltaic solution, which supplies electricity generated by the natural power of the sun. The sturdy and rainproof trolley can be taken anywhere, withstanding the harshest environmental conditions. It can therefore even be used in remote areas of the world where reliable electric power supply is not yet available. The sun2go delivers 1 kWh storage capacity with a nominal output up to 600W in both AC and DC power. It can not only power electric devices and tools for several hours a day for professional, recreational, or emergency purposes, but the sun2go can even recharge an electric scooter or start a traditional car if its battery fails.

In the overall standings the MÜNCH TEE1 holds second place as well as all time records in this racing category. This success proves that racing can combine power and environmental responsibility.

The meeco Group is sponsoring The MÜNCH racing team to help spur economic growth through the development of innovative products that achieve low carbon emissions and are reliable, affordable renewable energy solutions.

The meeco Group is exhibiting its latest innovation at the Intersolar Munich 2010, the world’s largest and most important trade fair for photovoltaic and solar thermal applications. The portable sun2go^TM is a small, but highly effective portable power supply that can be easily carried, thanks to a wheeled trolley. The advantage of this portable energy solution is the powering of small electric devices and tools for several hours a day.

Look for meeco Group from June 9-11 at Intersolar Exhibit Booth #230, Hall C4. The meeco group, together with their strategic partner a+f GmbH (a subsidiary company of Gildemeister AG), will offer their world premiere of products and unveil new innovations.

The sun2go^TM delivers 1 kWh storage capacity with a nominal output of up to 600W in both AC and DC power. It can therefore power small electronic devices, appliances, and tools such as lights, fans, heaters, measuring equipment, audio players, laptops, TV sets, and power hand tools. It can even start a traditional automobile if its battery is dead. But this is not all: The sun2go^TM can even recharge an electric scooter.

The sun2go^TM’s sturdy and rainproof trolley can be taken anywhere and withstands even tough environmental conditions. It can therefore be used in many remote areas of the world where reliable electric power supply is not available. Until now, the most common off-grid solution has been the fuel-powered generator, an expensive solution with negative environmental impact. The sun2go^TM is a professional, fully-integrated solution, and can be powered by solar energy to reduce costs and preserve the environment.

Expecting more than 60,000 visitors this year, the Intersolar in Munich is the world’s largest and most important trade fair for photovoltaic and solar thermal applications. From June 9-11, 2010, The meeco Group along with their strategic partner a+f GmbH (a subsidiary company of Gildemeister AG) will offer their world premiere of products and unveil new innovations.

With the expansion into Paraguay the Meeco Group continues their success story.  In addition to the locations throughout Europe, Africa, Asia and the US the new office in Asuncion brings the total to nine worldwide.

Paraguay means “water that goes to the water “ in the native language of Guarani which is spoken by most of the population.  There is no doubt that water is one of the most important commodities in Paraguay.  Indeed 39 percent of the population works in agriculture realising some 25% of the gross domestic product.

With their first steps into “the green garden of South America” the Meeco group has now laid an important foundation stone.  The distribution of network-independent Oursun solutions will support the local farmers, communities and businesses.  With over 320 sunny days per year there are optimal conditions.

“Large areas exist within Latin America which are not connected to the grid. Our PV based solutions offer an alternative to fossil fuels” advised Dr Oliver Jann, director of the newly founded Meeco America Latina in Asuncion. “On the one hand fossil fuels are rare and have to be imported from abroad for significant sums of money.  On the other hand the maintenance of a national power grid over such large territories of land is not commercially viable.”

Aurelio Gutierrez was the winner of the ONE STAR NATIONAL GRAND PRIX, taking place from the 16th until the 18th of April at the installations of La Yeguada La Beata. The Canarian rider, who lives in Seville, performed the trials without any fault with the French “Suncarrier Joy de Talma”.

He was the only one of six other riders, finalizing without faults a tie-breaking procedure. Aurelio Gutierrez passed the tiebreak also with “Suncarrier Chirigota W” finishing in sixth place.

“I have competed very few this season during the first trials of the year. I have been dedicating myself to the preparation of young horses. “Joy de Talma” is a horse of high quality and lots of experience. The horse is now in a good condition”, says the rider of the Yeguada Westfalia.

Jacobo Maldonado Ysasi, the successful horse rider who is sponsored by meeco AG, is taking part in the National Spanish show jumping Championship in Valencia. The competition takes place at the Club Escuela de Salto (CES) from the 15th to 18th April, 2010. The “SunCarrier Trophy 2010” will be awarded by meeco AG, co-sponsor of this event, on Saturday 17th of April during the complementary trials.

The winner of the complementary trials will be awarded with the SunCarrier Trophy and granted with 2,300 Euros.

Through Jacobo Maldonado, known as “Bobi“, meeco AG is represented during this Championship by one of the most successful show jumpers. The Andalusian athlete has been the Spanish Champion in 1995 and 2006 and the most successful Spanish rider at the World Championship in Rome in 1998. In addition he has coached the Spanish juniors during the European Championships in 1997 and 2007.

meeco is glad to announce that she has bought a project company in Babice, Czech Republic. The company, named Green Energy Babice s.r.o., includes a fully developed 3.08 MWp photovoltaic park. This is the first major involvement of meeco in the Czech Republic and helps the group to extend its foothold in the Eastern European market.

Portable photovoltaic power solution supplies off-grid electric power

meeco AG announces the worldwide roll-out of its latest renewable energy solution, “sun2go“. “sun2go“ is an independent, portable photovoltaic solution which supplies electricity generated by the natural power of the sun.

In many remote parts of the world, reliable electric power supply is not yet available. Due to the immense costs, it may never be. Therefore, off-grid and portable solutions are the only way to have electricity in many cases. Until now, the most common off-grid solution has been the fuel-powered generator, a solution which has a high running cost and negative impact on the environment. Now, “sun2go“ offers a professional solution which reduces costs by generating electricity from solar energy, is environmentally-friendly, and is portable for a wide range of settings, from professional application in off-grid areas, humanitarian and emergency situations, to leisure and recreational activities.

Powering small electric devices and tools by using the natural power of the sun is much easier and less expensive than using small fuel-powered generators. Stuart Moss, responsible for global sales and marketing of meeco’s Off-grid Solutions explains: “sun2go does not require re-fueling and requires much less maintenance. Calculated over the economic lifetime of the system, sun2go is the first choice in most cases.”

“sun2go“ delivers 1 kWh storage capacity with a nominal output up to 600 watts DC or 15 amps AC , and can be charged via solar power or the electric power grid. It can provide power several hours a day for appliances such as electric lights, electric power tools, measuring equipment, broadcasting, radio and audio players, laptops, small TV sets or similar small to medium size appliances. The sturdy, rainproof, lightweight, wheeled trolley can be taken anywhere and can withstand tough environmental conditions. Utilizing a combination of German engineering and Swiss quality, the system is simple to operate, durable and reliable, and can be used in a wide range of applications.

“Renewable, portable energy systems such as “sun2go” represent a sustainable solution to address off-grid electric power demand, both for day-to-day use in remote areas as well as for emergency and humanitarian purposes.“ concludes Mr. Moss.

Thanks to the business idea of selling agricultural chemical products for a discount price, meeco agro AG, a subsidiary of the meeco AG, at the season opening recorded a high demand on its agricultural products. Sales-Manager of meeco agro AG, Michael Keil, noted, that farmers were brought to the margin of their subsistence level by the large commercial and manufacturing companies. Thus, meeco agro with its reasonable prices, clearly is an alternative for the farmers in cost saving.

To meet the current needs of farmers and rangers, the high-quality product range of chemical agricultural products will be constantly expanded, as for example with the state-of-the-art remedy against fly maggots “HoKoEx”. This water-soluble granule shows a high activity against all kinds of fly larvae in manure, litter and slurry pits.

The portable solar power suitcase “sun2go” as well enjoys a growing popularity. Moreover, the new distributor of meeco agro AG, Helion Solar GmbH, recognized, that the suitcase is a worthwhile investment in the portable solar power. Helion Solar GmbH distributes “sun2go” in Switzerland and is a young and dynamic company, which has a reputation as a converter for photovoltaic technology.

Felipe Webermann was in charge of the international marketing and created the whole corporate identity of meeco AG. He also managed the branding strategy of meeco’s products.

SunCarrier Spain and all his colleagues will miss him and be grateful to him for his professional work and great spirits. The whole meeco AG team wishes Filipe Webermann good luck and success when he meets his new challenges.

The Egetica-Expoenergetica 2009 in Valencia, Spain, is one of the most important trade fairs in the national and international renewable energy business, attracting approximately 10.000 visitors this year. meeco AG used this opportunity to present itself at this trade fair in cooperation with a+f Iberica, a subsidiary of meeco AG’s German partner a+f GmbH in Würzburg, which is a subsidiary of the German Gildemeister AG.

The 32 sqm stand at this international trade show provided the opportunity to meet many current as well as potentially new customers and other visitors from a variety of countries. In addition to the high performing SunCarrier System, a+f Iberica, with the support of meeco AG, presented its new and highly efficient photovoltaic module cleaning system. This system is able to clean up to 150 square meters of photovoltaic modules per minute in tracked as well as fixed installations, which is a key element in ensuring that the yield of the photovoltaic modules remains at their optimum. This newly developed cleaning technology, which impressed many visitors at the trade show, utilizes a water pressure technique which can vary between 5 and 30 bar, and can reach photovoltaic modules as high up as 23 meters.

The Egetica-Expoenergetica 2009 was a good opportunity to further expand the international awareness of the SunCarrier brand not only in connection with tracked and fixed photovoltaic systems, but also in connection with operating and maintenance services which are offered for such systems, including services like performance monitoring, module cleaning, thermographic surveys and other yield-enhancing measures.

Please find some pictures of meeco`s and a+f`s participation on the Egetica-Expoenergetica below.

Stand-alone hybrid power supply for water treatment plant on an island

With this first delivery the Swiss meeco AG initiates the sales of a new product combination: the “alkube Solar Island Solution”. The so – called Solar Island Solutions provide electrical energy to buildings and installations which are situated in areas without stable energy or no supply from the electricity grid.

The actual project supplies solar energy housed and mounted in the “alkube Solar Island Solution” to support the control and monitoring system of a water treatment plant. The “alkube” is basically an ultraportable multifunctional building of only 200 kg weight, in which control and monitoring systems of solar parks or other plants can be accommodated.

This project is outstanding and unique for its feature of being a Solar – Diesel – Hybrid system providing a 4 kw Island Power. It guarantees a steady power supply in a rural area without any energy supply through the grid. In addition, this All-in-one-kit contains a highly efficient battery system serving as a backup for times without sunshine / solar energy and the rare case of unavailability of the diesel generator.

meeco AG delivers this “alkube Solar Island Solution” to the French enterprise Farmex Technologies which makes use of the “alkube” on the island Grenada in the West Indies. The system will provide a steady power supply for a water treatment plant in a rural area.

Dieter Trutschler, Director Marketing & Sales of the meeco AG explains: ”With this solar – diesel – hybrid system we have designed a optimal solution. Instead of using two diesel generators, which was the initial plan of the customer but would have taken constant service and diesel refilling, we now have a solution which is highly self-sufficient and runs primarily on the basis of renewable energy through solar power, but at the same time works steadily in case of bad weather by using the diesel generator.”

In July, the top two Spanish show jumping riders Aurelio Gutierrez and Jacobo Maldonado, which are supported by meeco AG since early May 2009, continued their successful riding.

Jacobo Maldonado competed in the famous young horses show of ANCADES (CSNCJ) in the Riding Club CECYL of Segovia in Spain. He won the big class on 11 July with “SunCarrier Darmena” and came second by the small margin of 5 seconds on 12 July in the 6-year-old class with his imported mare “SunCarrier Carlanka”, daughter of the well-known stallion “Caretino”.

Jacobo Maldonado participated in the Vimeiro 3 Star International Show (CSI3*) in Portugal.  He came 2nd in the 6-year-old Class with SunCarrier T Carlanka (18 July).

Aurelio Gutierrez was very successful in the Dehesa Montenmedio National 2 Star show Circuito de la luna (III), Vejer de la Frontera, Cadiz, Spain. His results were

·     1st in Class 1m35 with SunCarrier Life Style (17 July)

·     1st in Class 1m35 with SunCarrier Life Style (18 July).

Jacobo Maldonado participated in Vimeiro’s  International Show Jumping competition (Portugal). Once again, he did extremely well. He achieved

·     3rd place in Big Class 1m50 with SunCarrier Felix de Villafranca (23 July)

·     3rd place in Big Class 1m50 with SunCarrier Felix de Villafranca (24 July)

·     3rd place in Young-6-Year Old’s with SunCarrier T Carlanka (25 July) and

meeco AG, headquartered in Zug, Switzerland, announces the appointment of Stuart Moss as General Manager of its U.S. Operations. Mr. Moss will direct all aspects of the U.S. operation, which is based in Orange County, California.

“A large increase in the demand for renewable energy can only be reached by applying a variety of technologies including (PV)”, explains Dieter Trutschler, Sales Director of meeco AG.  “meeco was operating in the USA even before last year’s Presidential elections, adapting its business model to the specific situations in North and South America.  Now we want to start taking advantage of the highly favorable market environment.“

“Stuart Moss brings a particularly strong combination of strategic, business development, operational, and leadership skills—all necessary in the evaluation, positioning, and execution of meeco’s business model for North and South America.  Based on his success at both multinational and entrepreneurial companies focused on technical solutions, we are very excited to have Stuart leading our efforts in these evolving markets.”

“Both North and South America provide significant opportunities to expand meeco’s renewable energy footprint,” said Mr. Moss. “While the Obama administration has made renewable energy a top priority, several States such as California have already adopted aggressive renewable energy targets.  While it remains to be seen what eventually comes out of Congress, hundreds of millions of dollars appropriated in the 2009 Stimulus Bill are already being spent on real programs and projects.

At the same time, countries and industries in Central and South America realize more clearly that access to energy, on and off the electricity grid, is critical to their economic growth and the living standards of their citizens.

I look forward to determining where meeco can make the biggest impact and providing solutions to address customers’ needs in those areas.”

meeco AG diversifies its business activities into a new area, trading re-imported agrochemicals in the Swiss market. Swiss farmers are offered high quality chemicals, such as agricides and fertilizers, at discount prices. For this purpose,  meeco AG has founded its subsidiary meeco agro AG, located in Zug.

Agrochemicals are highly priced in Switzerland. The main reasons for the immensely differing prices between directly purchased, and re-imported chemicals are the near monopolistic structures of agricultural retailing.

This is the bearing point of business for the newly founded meeco agro AG. In this newly entered field of business activities, the meeco AG subsidiary is expected to establish itself as a new market participant in agricultural trading. meeco agro AG deals with the worldwide production, trading, marketing and distribution of goods for agriculture and gardening, in particular agricides. The market will be dealt with from headquarters at Zug, and from the operations sub-office in Bad Ragaz.

As a subsidiary of meeco AG, the new enterprise will have sufficient resources at hand to start swiftly. Thus a quick, reliable and fairly priced delivery of means of production, auxiliaries and goods is guaranteed. Larger market participants as well as regional retailers will be served by meeco agro AG, however, the most important client remaining the single agricultural end-user.

Internet shopping and a strong, versatile web-representation will be offered to the younger generation of traders and farmers, catching the momentum in a rapidly modernizing agricultural world.

meeco agro AG will commence business by August 1, 2009. In a first phase, a basic selection of about 40 certified agricide substances in a variety of about 100 combinations will be offered.

In the United States of America, increasing the use of renewable energy is one of President Barack Obama’s top priorities.  Such an increase will reduce America’s dependence on foreign oil, respond to global climate change, and create millions of new jobs. President Obama’s goal is to generate 25 percent of America’s energy from renewable sources by 2025 by making unprecedented investments in clean, renewable energy. These investments are designed to create a new “green” economy– the 21st Century version of the Industrial Revolution of the early 20th Century. In addition to this Federal initiative, several States such as California and Florida have adopted similar or more aggressive renewable energy targets.  Billions of dollars for renewable energy were included in the 2009 Stimulus Bill and projects, many in solar energy, are already underway.

At the same time, countries and industries in Central and South America more clearly realize that access to energy, on and off the electricity grid, is critical to their economic growth and the living standards of their citizens.

“A large increase in the availability of renewable energy can only be reached by applying a variety of technologies including photovoltaics (PV)”, explains Dieter Trutschler, Sales Director of meeco AG, which specializes in the sale and installation of PV-based energy solutions. “meeco AG was operating in the USA even before last year’s Presidential elections, adapting its business model to the specific situations in North and South America.  Now we want to start taking advantage of the highly favorable market environment.“ meeco’s USA office is located in Orange County California.

meeco AG offers a number of PV-based solutions—grid-connected and off-grid “Island” solutions for utility-scale, industrial, and community needs, as well as mobile solutions for industrial applications.

Jacobo Maldonado once again demonstrated the excellence of the SunCarrier show jumping team with his success at the ANCADES (CSNCJ), a famous young horses show in the Riding Club CECYL in Segovia, Spain, on 11th July 2009. Jacobo won the big class with “SunCarrier Darmena” and only missed to win the six year old class by a mere five seconds, coming in second place with his imported mare “SunCarrier Carlanka”, daughter of the well-known stallion “Caretino”.

meeco AG’s  sponsorship of the two Spanish riders Aurelio Gutierrez and Jacobo Maldonado began in early May 2009 and has already brought some fantastic results in such a short time.  This includes the bronze medal in the Spanish Andalusian Championship and the Grand Prix in the National Show Jumping Competition in Caceres, Spain. Both rides continue to make their mark on the international show jumping scene, competing throughout Europe. Aurelio and Jacobo compete mostly with their horses “SunCarrier Life Style” and “SunCarrier Felix”.

meeco AG is delighted with the superb results and success of Jacobo and Aurelio, which also results in an increasing visibility and awareness of SunCarrier and meeco AG.  As the show jumping season is progressing, meeco AG is wishing all the best to the winning riders.

Innovative products need innovative promotion. According to this principle, meeco AG has extended its aviation team by two gyrocopters.

Gyrocopters, also known as “autogiros”, are helicopter-like, eco-friendly rotorcrafts which are extremely fuel efficient due to a special drive system, which uses the air stream to make the rotors gyrate so that they need the propellant only for their take-offs and landings. Spanish scientist Juan de la Cierva’s basic intention, when he invented the autogiro in 1923, was, to develop a helicopter with a lower air crash risk. The result was one of the lightest and smallest helicopters ever, which can be handled quite easily.  The directors of the “James Bond”-movies, recognizing the advantages and the progressiveness of this invention, used it in their 1967 movie “You Only Live Twice” as Sean Connery alias 007’s getaway aircraft.

Both the gyrocopters are available to meeco’s partners and clients and can be rented for business and private events.  For more information please contact meeco’s aviation team at gyroteam@meeco.net.

On the 23rd and 24th of June, meeco AG took part in the Hogueras festival at Alicante, Spain. This was the first event where the hot air balloon of meeco AG was presented. Under the command of one of the best balloon drivers worldwide, Mr. Wilhelm Eimers, and assisted by Mr. Thomas Beindorf, meeco AG invited the President of the Port, Mr. Campoy, and a number of local dignitaries to enjoy a short ride on the balloon.

The famous “Alicante Hogueras” with millions of participants from all over the province is a very important festival in the regional calendar. It was a perfect possibility for meeco AG, and its subsidiary SunCarrier Services S.L., which is located in Alicante, to present the balloon which features the SunCarrier and its innovative renewable energy solutions.

Please find some impressions from the balloon and the festival below.

With Aurelio Gutiérrez latest success, the SunCarrier show jumping team is on a very good and promising way. Aurelio won the bronze medal in the Spanish Andalusian Championship riding ‘SunCarrier Lyfe Style’. The show was help in Jerez de la Frontera at the Chapin Riding Club from June 19th-21st.

The National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) has decided on Guidelines for the Renewable Energy Feed-In Tariff (REFIT). Now, the production of renewable energy will be supported by the government with 1,25 R/kWH for wind-energy, with 0,95 R/kWh for small hydro-energy, with 0,90 R/kWh for landfill gas-energy and with 2,10 R/kWh for concentrated solar-energy. The REFIT will be valid for the next 20 years. The South-African Government has set itself the target to produce 10.000 GWh of energy by 2013 from renewable resources. While the expressed aim of the REFIT is, to establish a price that covers the cost of generation plus a “reasonable profit” it is evident that the tariffs are too low to even cover the costs of production.

The full decision, reasons of the decision and the REFIT Guidelines will be available on the NERSA website (www.nersa.org.za).

SunCarrier Services Hellas S.A. takes over distribution of solar-tracking system.

Despite of a worldwide financial crisis on all relevant markets, one industry still has excellent future prospects: the solar industry. The development potential for environmentally friendly and yet financially rewarding investments are evaluated far more positive in this sector than the economic climate of all the other industries. In 2008 alone, the global solar market will grow to a size of 3.6 gigawatts of produced energy. (more…)

800 SunCarrier delivered to Spain and brought into service by the end of September.

The worldwide growth of solar energy markets is strongly increasing this year. For 2008, experts ex-pect a global market size of 3.6 gigawatt. This means a plus of about 50 % compared to 2007, when 2.4 gigawatt of new solar energy where produced worldwide. Reasons for this growth are an increasing global demand for energy, and governmental development schemes introduced in more and more countries, thus becoming the most important trend in global energy supply.
