Crystalline silicon photovoltaics is the most widely used photovoltaic technology. Crystalline silicon photovoltaics are modules built using crystalline silicon solar cells (c-Si), developed from the microelectronics technology industry. Crystalline silicon solar cells have high efficiency, making crystalline silicon photovoltaics an interesting technology where space is at a premium.
Silicon based thin-film photovoltaic technology makes use of the photo-electric effect of amorphous silicon (a-Si) and micro-crystalline silicon (µc-Si) semiconductor material to generate electricity in an environmentally sustainable manner. It compares favorably over conventional crystalline silicon PV technologies by generating more electricity (kWh) with the same installed power capacity in watts. However, both have different advantages and disadvantages by the following comparison of power and feature:

Demo calls on Cambodia to release Torquay biofuel man
EcoSun Like Button:
PROTEST: Peter Fryett, left, is joined by investors at a demonstration at the Cambodia Embassy in London
THE father of a Torquay man jailed in Cambodia has joined a London demonstration calling for his immediate release.
Gregg Fryett has been in jail in Cambodia for 10 months facing money laundering and fraud charges relating to a land deal concerning his biofuel company in Cambodia.
His father, Peter Fryett, from Preston, Paignton, was among a group who delivered a letter to the Cambodian prime minister Hun Sen at the country's embassy in London. Peter Fryett was joined by investors in Sustainable AgroEnergy Ltd calling on the Prime Minister to step into the case to allow his immediate release.
Mr Fryett said: "We were able to deliver our letter, but we were unable to see an ambassador. We were able to put our points and I hope it will be effective."
SAE clients are demanding answers as to where their land and investment has gone and what action the UK and Cambodian governments are taking.
They have questioned what is being done by Cambodian authorities to recover their land and investment. Similar submissions are being made at other embassies around the world.
Gregg Fryett, travelled to Cambodia to meet with authorities in March. His supporters say despite assurances of safe travel from these authorities, he was arrested.
The investors also want answers to why the sellers of the land are not being treated in the same way as foreigners.
Letters have also been sent to Home Secretary Theresa May and Justice Minister Chris Grayling calling for intervention.

Almost half of Cambodian households have access to electricity
PHNOM PENH (The Cambodia Herald) -- Cambodia’s electricity sector made notable progress in 2013 in terms of its sources, connection lines, and supplies, according to the Cambodian Electricity Authority.
There was an increasing usage of 4297 million Kwh or 22 per cent in 2013 from 3527 million Kwh in 2012, according to a report, which was read by Mr Ti Norin, President of Electricity Authority at a meting.
He claimed that almost half of the Cambodian households have access to the electricity.
Mr. Norin also said that this was the first time that the Government was able to supply the fast increasing needs for electricity. As construction of the power plants is underway under agreed investment agreements, Cambodia will be successful in sustaining enough power supply to all consummers from 2014 to 2017 onwards.
So far, electricity lines spread out over 1304 Km2 and there have been existing 17 power stations which are located in 13 provinces and cities. There will be further expansion to other provinces such as Kratie, Steung Treng, and Preah Sihanouk Province.
Presiding over the meeting, Suy Sem, Minister of Mines and Energy said that for the Government’s term of 2013 to 2018, the Ministry has set out 5 strategies, including keeping the balance and the demand for electricity, expanding dimension of electricity supply, enhancing fairness of supplying to rural areas, improving stability and quality of electricity supply and reducing consumption cost.

PHNOM PENH
(The Cambodia Herald) -- A world class Japanese Company, IDEMITSU, will build a
bio-fuel factory in Cambodia in 2015, and will commence exploring bio-fuel in
Cambodia for the first time in 2017, Mr. Heng Ratana, General Director of
Cambodian Mine Action Centre (CMAC) told reporters yesterday.
He also said
IDEMITSU was the second largest company in Japan, adding that the company would
dispatch experts to study about the land and location to build the factory and
feasibility for expenditure.
IDEMITSU has been cooperating with CMAC, the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, the Ministry of Mines and Energy to plant cassava and to construct a factory in Battambang Province. In 2013, 103 Hectares have been tested with cassava plantation. This year the Company plans to expand to 1500 Hectares, and to 20000 Hectares at the final stage.
He added “at the moment, the Company is undertaking pilot project to check and ensure soil quality since environmental sustainability is the Company’s concern.”
The Director General of CMAC also said “the Company will not own the land, and instead will make contracts with local people to grow cassava in order to supply the factory in the future.”
He added that “the Government under our Premier’s leadership had encouraged Companies to sign contracts and buy products from local people rather than giving concession to big companies which in turn create land disputes. IDEMITSU will work to avoid such disputes,”.
Ratana also said the Company wished to work closely with CMAC, which were undertaking de-mining cavities in Ta Sen commune, Battambong Province of which the area was largely laden with mines, and now the zone had become the biggest cassava plantation.
Currently, the Company has been also providing financial assistance to CMAC for community development there.

Sesan Dam Construction to Start Next Month
By Kuch Naren | January 28, 2014
Construction of the Lower Sesan 2 dam will begin early next month, residents and authorities said after a meeting in Stung Treng province on Monday.
Minister of Mines and Energy Suy Sem for the first time gave a time frame for the construction of the dam at the meeting, which was attended by Kith Meng, whose Royal Group will build the dam with Chinese firm Hydrolancang International Energy Co. Ltd.
“His Excellency Suy Sem told us that the Lower Sesan 2 dam is very important for reducing poverty and developing the country and so the construction will start next month and it will be completed in 2017,” Voeun Sambath, chief of Sesan district’s Kbal Romeas commune, said after the meeting.
So far, families whose houses will be flooded by the dam’s 33,560-hectare reservoir have complained over the lack of information about compensation, which was addressed for the first time during the meeting.
Each family, Mr. Sambath said, was slated to receive five hectares of farmland and a 20-by-50-meter area of residential land with a wooden or concrete house of 80 square meters.
Royal Group and Hyrdolancang also said that they would compensate farmers for the loss of fruit trees—$35 for jackfruit trees, $33 for mango trees, $26 milk fruit trees, and $22 for coconut trees—Mr. Sambath said.
Srekor commune chief Siek Mekong and Puth Khoeun, who represents more than 400 affected families in Srekor, confirmed the compensation offer, though he still was not happy about it.
“We have repeatedly asked for the [dam’s] suspension, but the government has ignored us.
“Now they are building,” Mr. Khoeun said.
Ian Baird, a fisheries expert and scientist with the University of Wisconsin Madison, estimated in a 2009 study that 5,000 Sesan district families would be displaced by the dam.

Cambodia has no ambition to develop nuclear power plant: PM
Posted on January 15, 2014
Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said Tuesday that the Southeast Asian nation has no ambition to develop a nuclear power plant, but wants to use nuclear technologies in agriculture, health, and animal breeds.
The prime minister made the remarks during a meeting with Yukiya Amano, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), at the Peace Palace in the capital Phnom Penh.
He asked the IAEA to assist the Ministry of Mines and Energy to develop human resources and to draft laws relevant to nuclear technologies.
Yukiya said his visit to Cambodia was to discover what kinds of nuclear technology applications Cambodia needs and said the agency was ready to help the country upon requests.
IAEA is the world's center of cooperation in the nuclear field. Established as the world's "Atoms for Peace" organization in 1957 by the United Nations, the agency works with worldwide member states and partners to promote safe and peaceful nuclear technologies.
Its mandate is to accelerate and enlarge the contribution of atomic energy to peace, health, and prosperity throughout the world.
