China's first large block of mass production of solar cells

China's first large block of mass production of solar cells


ENN Solar Energy Co., Ltd. by the development of China's first large block of 5.7 m silicon-based thin film solar cells has recently begun mass production, and exports to the United States, the European Union and other countries and regions. The size of the solar cells at the forefront in the international arena.


Family, mainly by the solar cells of crystalline silicon cells and amorphous silicon cell composed of two categories. Compared with crystalline silicon solar cells, including silicon-based thin film solar cells with amorphous silicon solar cells, including large area lighting, low production costs, highlight the advantages of low light and good power.


According to ENN Solar Energy Co., Ltd. Hong-Wen Li, general manager of manufacturing center of introduction, they produce very large silicon thin film solar cells for lighting area, the conversion efficiency has reached 8%; the same time, the main raw material products, the use of glass, crystals used per watt silicon content is only about 1% of crystalline silicon cells, dramatically reducing the production cost per watt battery.


Sharp mass production of thin film solar cell output 160,000 kilowatts


Sharp Corp. (6753-JP) on Wednesday said the company was the Japanese city of Nara Prefecture Ge mass production of thin film solar cell plant, an annual output of about 16 million kilowatts of electricity.


This kind of silicon on a glass substrate to form a new type of membrane solar cells, and are widely used in silicon solar cells compared to only 1% of the silicon.


Sharp's thin film solar cells based on a large area of about 1x1.4 meters formed glass. Up to 9% of the energy conversion efficiency, thin film solar cell industry is the most efficient.


Sharp to spend 22 billion yen formed a low-cost thin film solar cell production line. Company intends to promote solar power plants around the world.


Sharp is the world's No. 2 maker of solar cells. Year, with the thin film silicon solar cell production capacity of 710,000 kilowatts.
