China’s solar cells and thin-film crystalline silicon component manufacturers – Best Solar Hi-Tech Co., Ltd. Friday said the company is a 130-megawatt thin-film notebook battery production line or will be by the end of trial production. Company and expanded into a crystalline silicon component production capacity, the future and plans to build solar power plants in the United States and Europe.
Peng Fang, executive president, told Reuters in an interview that the company’s solar thin-film battery factory in Jiangxi Province will become the world’s largest thin-film solar energy companies. Crystalline silicon components, the company is phased construction of a large industrial base.
He said, Jiangxi Momoyo Germany as part of its manufacturing base, has invested 400 million U.S. dollars in the first phase of two thin-film solar cell production line in the next five production lines and plants to reach full capacity of 330 MW, the current conversion rate of its thin-film ibm laptop battery 8-8.5% .
“Company is now in rapid development period … we are to scale to the quality of well, the cost to do so.” Peng Fang said that although BES Germany until the second half of last year involved in crystalline silicon module production, but its production capacity has reached 700-800 MW.
The listing plan for the future, Peng Fang said that in the thin-film solar cells currently in the global financial crisis and the adjustment period the solar IBM thinkpad t40 battery , thinkpad t41 battery industry, the company listed on the United States temporarily without a clear plan, but there is still a long-term scheme.
Best Solar was established in the past year, is LDK Solar LDK (LDK.N: Quote), a sister company, controlling shareholder Peng Xiaofeng family invested enterprises.’s Web site shows that its plans to reach total production capacity in stages to 1GW (gigawatt) thin-film solar cell modules and 3GW of crystalline silicon solar cell components of the design capacity.
** Plans to build solar power plants in Europe and the United States **
Peng Fang said that at present Germany and 90% of the BES market in Europe, but has been concerned about the U.S. market is expected during the next six months to one year showed the U.S. thinkpad t42 battery , thinkpad t43 battery market will be a faster growth.
“Now Europe is a more realistic market, but the U.S. market has great potential, there are many projects we are also discussed, including the power plant project also includes distribution of items, are conducting a wide range of contacts, some very in-depth … talked about. “he said.
The Chinese government introduced a subsidy scheme photovoltaic industry recently, after the Chinese solar energy enterprises have set foot in solar power projects in order to expand its industrial chain. LDK8 at the end of LDK Solar announced that it will Suqian City, Jiangsu Province, in cooperation with the development of solar energy, is expected before 2015 construction of 300 megawatts of solar power projects. Suntech (STP.N: Quote) and Zhejiang Yuhui Solar thinkpad r50 battery , thinkpad r51 battery Co., Ltd. (SOLA.L: Quote) and others announced plans to build large solar power plants.
Meanwhile, the U.S. solar energy companies are also optimistic about China’s solar market, First Solar (FSLR.O: Quote) early in September, said China plans to build the world’s largest solar plant.
** Thin-film batteries in groping stage **
For the company’s flagship product of another solar thin-film IBM fru 08k8193 , IBM 92p1060, thin-film batteries Peng Fang said there are still pre-production stage, the future of thin-film battery technology will be a very good competitive
“Thin-film crystalline silicon solar cells and long-term coexistence of the two markets, but to reduce the cost of the industrial chain, technology breakthrough.” Peng Fang said.
And the crystalline silicon cells is different from the main raw material for the thin-film batteries ultra-thin glass, crystalline silicon cells with the same branch of the photovoltaic cell industry. Silicon raw materials in the international market against the backdrop of continued tension, as the field of photovoltaic power generation to another Large main – the amount of silicon thin-film IBM 08k8214 , IBM 08k8195 because of their relatively small but growing field of solar power to become rookie.
Also involved in production of thin-film battery change Tianwei Paul (600550.SS: Quote), the company’s thin-film batteries have been put into production in August, originally planned to reach production capacity of 280 MW in 2012.
