Photovoltaic industry boom is happiness related industries restricted by the foreign companies – solar, heat pump, photovoltaic – solar energy industry

Some foreign companies have a unique technology, easy to expand PV customers
Solar Net HC At May 5 opening of "2010 Shanghai Solar PV Exhibition" exhibition hall entrance, a white base of ABB Picking Robot [44.00-1.72%] surrounded by the visitors were packed.

Less than 3 minutes, saw it a few "black paw" will table 44 blue battery stack neatly in the corner of four small basket. ABB's staff told reporters, from the lift, "claw"?? Get the battery slice?? Into the basket, the robot just 0.3 seconds, "can be much quicker than the manual."

An audience can not help exclaiming: "Look, we are busy all year round not, in fact they make money of these equipment manufacturers, they must in the laughing."

Reporter interviewed a number of PV companies in the exhibition and found that although the PV industry in China again this year, the global installed capacity will be doubled last year, about 13GW (1GW = 1000 MW), but PV complementary products such as materials and equipment are controlled at the hands of overseas companies, the real winners are they.

Shanghai Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. Wei Hai You (the "Sea You Wei"), Li Min, general manager, told reporters yesterday in the packaging industry, photovoltaic cells, glass, aluminum frame, low silica content due to technical, can be made of. But the package with the required 50% EVA film imported from overseas, the battery pad?? "Back" of the import rate is 90%.

From photovoltaic equipment manufacturing point of view, overseas "monopoly" the same powerful forces. Tom, president of the United States GTSolar? Gutierrez told reporters that his company accounts for polysilicon silicon devices (ingot furnaces) 70% of the domestic share. SMA

German companies accounted for 44% of the global inverter market share. ABB, Germany Cutler and other robot manufacturers is PV mechanized sorting, handling and cutting the main supplier.

Two or three years ago, an outbreak of industries, some domestic enterprises to other important photovoltaic devices to the plant, may take 12 to 16 months. Today, the market hot again, and some equipment still need 3-6 months to arrive.

Why did such a monopoly? One reason is that some foreign companies have a unique technology, easy to expand PV customers.

Li Min told reporters that the only DuPont is the world's production of polyvinyl fluoride (hereinafter referred to as "PVF") particles in the enterprise. DuPont used the past to such particles in the manufacture of the ACP. Now, PVF raw materials but also as a backplane.

ABB, Cutler and other robots a little modification, but also from food and beverage, pharmaceutical and medical industries to the production of battery components. Fast, accurate and agile robots very suitable for the classification of components, test duplication.

Another secret foreign monopoly is changing PV market. 2006 to 2008, the polysilicon 30 to 40 U.S. dollars / kg cost skyrocketed to 400 U.S. dollars / kg. At that time, a number of polysilicon plant equipment regardless of the costs order, the international small polysilicon equipment factory orders also received a soft, huge profits and a one.

But then the market plunged, silicon and component prices senses. Then, polysilicon plant re-purchase of equipment should consider the cost of a. GTSolar such equipment manufacturers can provide new technology to upgrade the other packages.

GTSolar a management told the reporters, and now customers attach great importance to cost-effective. Compared to purchasing a new polysilicon equipment, hardware and software updates contained in the total price would be more expensive.

"Individual foreign investors in the formulation process is also an advantage.
