China's photovoltaic companies have yet to depart from "Made in China"

Wang You in just a few years, thousands of of China's photovoltaic companies have suddenly emerged, making China the undisputed world's largest photovoltaic producer. This is both a miracle and not surprising. Because, the cheaper manpower, the land cost and the imitation ability, made our country in the manufacturing aspect difficult to match.　　Clothing, toys, machinery parts, electronic information and other industries, has long been fulfilled. However, behind the solar halo, there is still a question can not be subsided: Chinese companies are really already the world's photovoltaic giants?　　In the end, we are the interests of the industry winners, but also only the indispensable parts of the industrial chain? Yuwen, vice chairman of the China Renewable Energy Society, said in mid-September that the global PV module production was about 10.7G Watts last year and China accounted for more than 40%. In the last 10 years, the PV industry has grown at an annual rate of 48.5%, with an increase of 55% in the last 5 years.　　Despite the global financial crisis in the past 3 years, the PV industry's growth rate is still as high as 35%, which is unmatched growth in other industries. 2009, the world's top ten photovoltaic production enterprises, China has Suntech Holdings, Yingli Solar and Crystal Australia and other companies were selected, ranked third, five and seventh. This year, if the volume of shipments, Suntech Holdings and Crystal Australia will likely continue to rise in the seating of solar energy, Germany Q will be squeezed out of the top three.　　Suntech also has the potential to become the world's second-largest producer after U.S.　　However, in recent years, China's photovoltaic enterprises to achieve growth, mainly focused on large-scale, low prices on the basis.　　At present, Suntech, Crystal Australia, Yingli and other companies continue to expand momentum, the total of three companies will have an estimated 5G watts of production capacity of the entire production, this figure and 2008 year round China's PV production is equal.　　In addition, Changzhou Trina, CSI Solar, the new energy, the East Day, Jiangsu Solarfun, Ningbo Solar, Changzhou billion-crystal photoelectric, Chint Solar, topsolar and other large domestic enterprises also have their own large-scale expansion plans.　　An internal management of Huadian Group said that, if not the G-watt level of expansion, many companies are embarrassed to publish.　　Less technology for the nascent photovoltaic industry, expansion is really important, but if there is no technology to support, then China's photovoltaic companies are likely to miss the future period of gold development, but only other companies in the backyard factory. In fact, whether Suntech, Crystal Australia, Changzhou Tianhe, CSI Solar, such as first-line enterprises, or billion-crystal photoelectric, Jiaotong University topsolar, Oriental Sunrise and so on, the entire main attack are mature crystalline silicon solar cell components, involved (CIGS, crystalline silicon and amorphous silicon, cadmium telluride) thin film batteries,　　The photovoltaic and concentrating batteries are rare in China. Of course, some technology companies themselves have concerns about the future of thin films or other new battery products, and market variables will bring unpredictableThe consequences of the material.　　In addition, some of the new battery technology itself has limitations in the application of the field, so whether the photovoltaic power plant investors, or related sectors of the people have been deterred.　　However, the above problems do not fully become a Chinese enterprises do not make a technical breakthrough reasons.　　In an interview with Shi Shi, Suntech's Shi said that many photovoltaic enterprises in the world are seeking different technological innovations, but they rarely see such a blossoming scene at home. Advent Solar, for example, is developing the battery technology on the back, and Solyndra is experimenting with thin films on the water heater's vacuum tube, which now has a capacity of more than 500 megawatts.　　Another example is the Nanosolar company, which is also doing the printing of thin-film solar energy. China's innovative enterprises are not without, but whether it is equipment or technology, all need to buy from abroad, and then to domestic to copy.　　Now it seems that the ready-made "doctrine" may cause the business to develop faster, but once the technical secrecy period expires, coupled with equipment supply problems, will be a big blow to Chinese enterprises. Wangliucheng, a researcher at China Merchants Securities, says many companies are reluctant to innovate because the current price of PV exports can make businesses profitable. However, in the long run, as the largest photovoltaic market in Germany gradually saturated demand, the United States and Italy, France and other markets can not fully fill the decline of the German market, photovoltaic cell prices for the future development of space remains small. As a result, PV can not be entirely on the scale to win, only the more high-tech, lower cost products, it may help achieve the parity of photovoltaic Internet access.
