Improve the conversion efficiency and lifetime of solar cells and modules R & D focus
Despite the financial turmoil sweeping the world severely affected, making a number of solar photovoltaic production enterprises have to take shrinkage and cut approach to overcome the temporary difficulties, but the solar PV industry will certainly survive this crisis is the industry's fastest . It was predicted that the second quarter of 2009 will see the industry's full recovery.
China's production of solar cells and modules and applications began in the early 70 century, but behind its production, manufacturing costs are high, coupled with higher conversion efficiency reasons, in addition to apply some special environment it was hard to promote to the civilian area. Since entering the 21st century, a number of studies students returned, bringing back foreign advanced technology and management, have created a more professional in the country, but also relatively large scale of the company, making China the production of solar cells and modules, whether the quality of on the number or both to a new level. Which was founded in 2001, after years and Suzhou Artus Suntech is very typical. Particularly successful in 2005, Suntech listed on NYSE in the U.S., and more than 400,000,000 U.S. dollars a financing can be said that solar photovoltaic industry in China is a breaking news. Then have another dozen solar companies listed overseas, the financial return billions of dollars of funds is huge, which greatly expand the strength of China's PV industry.
I think the beginning of this century, China's solar cells and modules to the sustainable development of high-speed four main reasons: First, the global fossil energy prices and the continuing rapid deterioration of the Earth's environment to accelerate, driven by governments and peoples of renewable energy eagerly look forward to; two solar photovoltaic technology itself is the tremendous progress made in the laboratory to achieve the original conversion efficiency, is now in mass production can be achieved; Third, financial and stock investors have on the solar PV industry enough confidence to make photovoltaic industry have sufficient financial support; Fourth, the reform and opening up, China has become the world's investment in processing industry park, leading many returnees to return to the smooth development of entrepreneurship.
In recent years, China's solar photovoltaic industry to make the world wonder of the double speed rapid development, in 2006, China's solar cell output was only 380 MW in 2007 to more than 1,000 megawatts, accounting for the global 1 / 4 also , and this is almost the global output in 2004 rather, and will thus become the world's largest solar cell producer. This makes the solar energy industry in China is not only a world first solar thermal products, and optoelectronic products also ranks first in the world. We should be proud of and proud. I said, the solar energy industry is a glorious and light industries, it glorious, because it not only provide energy for mankind, but also provide much environmental value of clean energy; it light, this business is the development of some extremely good future, perhaps in another 23 years, it is the main human sources of energy.
At present, even though we face the global financial turmoil sweeping the serious impact which some solar manufacturers have to take shrinkage and cut approach to overcome the temporary difficulties, I have always believed that solar PV industry will certainly be the fastest the industry through this crisis. It was predicted that the second quarter of 2009 will see the industry's full recovery. Because so far, national economic recovery plan announced by the Government regard the saving and environmental protection on a very important position, the solar energy industry in the spring will soon come, I believe that.
The development of China's solar PV industry is at a critical time, we still have a lot to do.
First of all, we are faced with the problem the grave shortage of high-end, almost all of the PV companies lack a strong R & D team, in the PV industry chain and all links in a large number of technical difficulties, need to tackle key problems, such as how to make silicon do more thin, more economical high-purity silicon material; how to make the battery more than 20% conversion efficiency; how to further improve the service life of components and so on. These things only by a company is difficult to do because it takes a lot of money and a lot of manpower, more important is the need for a leader in high-end talent. So I suggest that the domestic relevant departments come forward to organize robust domestic solar PV Technology Research Institute jointly established companies, which can not only carry out solar energy development and utilization of high-tech research, but also training a number of high-tech talent, that on the sustainable development of China's solar energy industry will be crucial.
Second, in all aspects of PV industry chain, such as high-purity polysilicon, wafers, cells, components of the key production equipment also need to import, the localization of these devices is not high level, also need to put in the necessary financial and human must be developed.
Finally, China's PV market with our photovoltaic manufacturing world is very disproportionate compared to 2007, China produced more than 1,000 megawatts of photovoltaic products, 99% are sold abroad, our own use less than 1%. Therefore, our application of PV products in the promotion of the Government and the public need to redouble our efforts.
In recent years, we are pleased to see that many of our leading solar photovoltaic companies have put forward a clear goal: Suntech made, three to five years, so that the cost of solar power to 1 yuan / kwh; Suzhou Art Williams said that in the next three decades, so that solar energy into millions of households; LDK asked to be world's largest solar wafers, to best quality, lowest cost. If these objectives can be achieved, we will truly become the world on a world full of sunshine.
