On November 29th, Hanergy Group Director Li Hejun announced in Beijing that it would become the world's largest thin-film photovoltaic company, with a production capacity of 3GW, which means that the company can generate 4 billion kWh annually, and it can meet the urban power consumption of 10 million people. demand.

Unlike many Chinese crystalline silicon solar PV companies that have been plagued by Europe and the United States for a long time, Hanergy Thin Film Solar has not been subject to "double reverse" investigations and is currently planning for the future with confidence. Since it officially entered the thin-film solar photovoltaic industry in 2009, the company has invested 27 billion yuan to build R&D and manufacturing bases in Guangdong, Heyuan, Sichuan Shuangliu, Haikou Haikou, Shandong Yucheng, Zhejiang Changxing, and Jiangsu Wujin.

“We spent a year and a half before screening more than 700 companies around the world. We have finally identified five companies for mergers and acquisitions, which have led us to the top of thin-film solar technology. We currently have three of the seven thin film solar technologies. At the same level as the world, there are four globally leading players, said Li Hejun.

Photovoltaic industry currently has two technical routes: crystalline silicon and thin-film. The public is familiar with crystalline silicon solar energy. In Li Hejun's view, it is the low-thin crystalline silicon that has caused the Chinese PV industry to fall into the current passive situation.

"In fact, crystalline silicon has not been done abroad five or six years ago, and now it is made of thin-film solar energy. The technical threshold and funding threshold for crystalline silicon are relatively low, and the temptation of high profits in previous years has already appeared in China. In a one-on-one situation, these companies must bankrupt at least 50% in this industrial winter, Lihe said.

The production of thin-film photovoltaic cells is not like crystalline silicon solar cells. It requires silicon, silicon wafers, photovoltaic modules, and other production links. The processing of silicon materials is typical of high-pollution, high-energy-consumption production. The production of thin-film solar cells is one step. It is almost zero pollution, and it has a short energy recovery period, good flexibility, and good low-light power generation.

"From the point of view of Hanergy's production, it combines the characteristics of new materials, new energy, high-end equipment manufacturing, and energy conservation and environmental protection. It is highly consistent with the country's seven strategic emerging industries and has driven 85 industries such as glass, steel, plastics and logistics. The development of 1026 SMEs," Li Hejun told Hexun.com.

This is just the beginning. From the perspective of overseas development experience, distributed generation is the main form of photovoltaic discovery applications. In many European countries, the integration of photovoltaic building applications exceeds 80%. Obviously, China is also following this trend, especially this year, the government frequently introduced policies to encourage Distributed generation.

“China has about 89 billion cubic meters of urban and rural construction available. Even the most conservative calculation ratio will provide 1 billion kilowatts of capacity by 2020, equivalent to the current total installed capacity of thermal power, hydropower, and nuclear power. The construction of 45 Three Gorges Projects will directly drive 10 trillion yuan of output and at the same time indirectly boost 20 trillion yuan of output while reducing emissions by 1.3 billion tons of carbon dioxide, said Li Hejun.

President Barack Obama once predicted that by 2025, clean energy will account for 25% of the world's total energy use; UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon also predicted that by 2030, clean energy will account for 30% of the world's total energy use; Li Hejun It is believed that under the influence of thin-film solar energy, by 2035, clean energy will replace 50% of the world's traditional fossil energy, and the energy shortage problem will cease to exist.

If this day comes soon, wars that are frequently fought for oil resources will end in time, and the high oil prices will be returned to the original and will return to the era of 20-30 US dollars.

In order to promote the realization of this dream, Hanergy also joined hands with the climate organization on the 29th to launch the “Global Alternative Action for Clean Energy” and looked forward to through the integration of policies, technologies, funds, and markets, through joint efforts with the government, enterprises, and society. Committed to promoting global cleanliness**.
