Recently, the State Council promulgated the "Opinions on Promoting the healthy development of the photovoltaic industry," and proposed 2013-2015, average annual new photovoltaic power generation capacity of about 10 million kilowatts by 2015 the total installed capacity of 35 million kilowatts or more. "Opinions" also pointed out that the expansion of photovoltaic applications, while controlling the total capacity of photovoltaic manufacturing, accelerate the elimination of backward production capacity, efforts to promote industrial restructuring and technological progress. PV industry opportunities and technical challenges ushered in the pattern.

Trans Union 2012-2013 China New Energy Chamber of Commerce's new energy industry annual report also shows that China's PV industry is currently at the forefront of basic technology research, laboratory research, critical and high-end production equipment manufacturing, research and development of a new generation of photovoltaic cells, etc., with the world's most advanced level there is a gap. Thus, the key to the transformation and upgrading of the entire PV industry is technology. In this context, photovoltaic companies are looking to enhance their technological efforts to reform the way. Recently, the hot Hina takeover of US Global Solar Energy Company, is the integration of photovoltaic business practice again the world's leading thin film PV technologies. Following the September 2012 acquisition of Germany Solibro and January 2013 acquisition of US MiaSolé, which is Hina completed within the third year of overseas technology acquisitions. Since then, the Chinese company to become the world's first flexible thin-film solar modules to achieve mass production, but also marks the Chinese through the global technology integration, occupy the forefront of thin-film photovoltaic technology.

Hina overseas acquisitions trilogy

Occupy the forefront of film technology

The secret of success lies in enterprise technology is always ahead, which is pursuing the technology Hina Naoyuki road.

July 25 this year, announced the successful acquisition of Hina US Global Solar Energy Company. The completion of the acquisition, which means the Chinese company to become the world's first flexible thin-film solar modules to achieve mass production. This is not only an important milestone Hina global technology integration strategy, and more importantly, will greatly accelerate the transformation and upgrading of China's PV industry. This beautiful technology M & A action, no doubt in a deep integration phase photovoltaic industry came a "booster."

Global Technology M & A activity has long been ready to Hina, open technology acquisitions overseas Hina blueprint, we can clearly see that this industry leader to maintain technological superiority of the "ambition": in September 2012, announced the successful acquisition of Germany Hina Q-CELLS subsidiaries, copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) thin-film battery manufacturer Solibro. The company's copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) thin-film solar cell module has the world's highest conversion efficiency of 17.4%, becoming Hina leading global solar PV technology, an important part of the strategy. January 9, 2013, Hina acquired the world's leading manufacturer of CIGS thin-film solar modules - US companies MiaSolé, has taken another step in the integration of foreign technology, the formation of the acquisition Hina useful complement to existing technology, Han can become a scale, technically all the world's leading thin film solar companies.

Three technology mergers and acquisitions, from the initial Solibro, to MiaSolé, to today's Global Solar Energy, Hina integration of the world's most advanced thin film technology, have become the world's largest thin-film solar companies. Currently, Hina grasp amorphous silicon - germanium, amorphous - nanocrystalline silicon, copper indium gallium selenide, etc. 7 global leader in thin-film technology roadmap, the thin film solar module production conversion rate has reached 15.5 percent, the highest R & D conversion rate reached 18.1%.

Thin-film photovoltaic broad future prospects

State Council issued the "PV six countries" directed plagued the photovoltaic industry and power generation, power generation acquisition, subsidy payment is not in place, financing difficulties and other problems, and made clear that strengthen planning and industrial policy guidance, and promote rational distribution, focus on expanding distributed photovoltaic applications. The Ministry of Finance recently issued "on the implementation of distributed PV electricity subsidies in accordance with the notice and other related issues," it is clear the country of distributed PV power project subsidies from electricity subsidies, subsidies will be transferred by the grid companies Distributed PV project paid units. These favorable policies as a catalyst to accelerate the arrival of distributed generation photovoltaic applications this spring.

Because of the thin film photovoltaic modules with low energy consumption, pollution, flexible bendable, low-light response is good, the requirements of low illumination angle advantages, the most suitable for distributed generation solar technology needs, has been widely used in photovoltaic applications and BIPV integration.

In July, the Chinese can be implemented as a thin film photovoltaic solar roof power plants Beijing IKEA installation and power generation, as of now, Hina has five IKEA stores to complete the installation of rooftop solar thin-film PV panels, the normal operation of these solar panels The average annual generating capacity will more than 1.6 million kWh, meet 10-15% of the total electricity demand in IKEA stores. In addition, 4.82MW rooftop power station Hina cooperation with Guangdong Heyuan farmer spring base has grid, 10MW photovoltaic power plant project in cooperation with the Guangzhou Foshan FAW-Volkswagen is under construction. And large central enterprises have also optimistic distributed photovoltaic power generation projects, July 30, China Aviation Industry Group 400MW of distributed photovoltaic demonstration project first 20MW project was officially started in Shijiazhuang.

Films and flexible, and the general trend of the future development of photovoltaic industry. With the continuous advances in thin film solar technology, solar energy applications will become more diverse, and perhaps the near future we can see the first mass-produced car solar car first appeared in China, and even cars, bags, clothes can be made of similar style. Not just those in the future with the development of thin-film solar technology, we will see the emergence of more and more new solar energy applications.
