光伏行业的危与机：
【IT168 资讯】“中国光伏行业有望从此进入真正的高效能时代”! 4月12日，力诺光伏集团和IBM宣布在晶体硅电池技术方面达成合作，通过技术革新提升太阳能电池转换效率。行业人士由此发出篇头的感慨，该专家同时认为以技术降低成本，提高效能，是未来光伏产业发展的必然方向之一。
据了解，光伏产业光电转换率一直是影响光伏行业发展的关键，在经历了2010年光伏行业60%的增长率飙升后，2011年随着海外各国太阳能发电补贴的消减，以及原材料上涨、光伏组件降价的冲击，中国光伏行业提高效能、降低成本就更加迫在眉睫。
记者在现场了解，双方将在晶体硅电池技术方面展开合作，在新技术应用下，预期将使力诺光伏电池光电转化效率在现有基础上大幅提升。另外，力诺光伏还与IBM共同搭建了一个人才交流的平台，互相学习交流。力诺集团总裁高元坤认为：“光伏产业发展进入了一个大浪淘沙的阶段，优胜劣汰将加速行业的新一轮洗牌，电池转换率的提升无疑成为企业制胜的法宝，最终决定企业生存和发展的关键仍是技术;而人才是实现技术升级和突破的第一要素，只有不断打造光伏领域的世界级技术人才队伍和研发团队力才能真正走上专家型道路”。
目前，光伏产业是我国清洁再生能源中的重要力量，这一领域的突破会对未来人类能源利用起到革命性的影响。中投顾问高级研究员李胜茂称：“光电转换率是太阳能光伏电池片两大核心技术指标之一，目前国内单晶硅电池片平均光电转化效率约为18%左右。由于企业面临越来越大的成本压力，未来行业利润率的提升还是要依靠相关技术的突破。”本次力诺光伏与IBM技术合作，是通过掌握核心技术变被动为主动的最好例证，必将成为行业转变发展重心的拐点。
本次合作，双方都是本着推动全球清洁能源发展的目标而达成的。力诺光伏集团总裁司海健在接受采访时表示：“光伏是新能源中最具发展潜力的行业之一，在清洁能源开发上中美两国具有同样的优势并且已达成本领域的合作框架，IBM与力诺合作，开创了美国高新技术对外出口的范例，是落实政府协议的重要举措之一。 “我们相信通过与IBM的通力合作，力诺很快将从一个行业的追赶者，成长为行业的领军者。”司海健说道。
Challenges and opportunities for the PV industry
Linuo Power Joins Hands with IBM to Change the Inefficiency Pattern of Solar Industry
“It can be expected that the Chinese PV industry will step into a real high efficiency era!” On April 12, Linuo Power Group and IBM jointly declared that they would reach an agreement on their cooperation on the crystalline silicon cell technology in the future. With using the new technology, it is expected that the conversion efficiency of solar cells will be greatly improved on the existing base. Thus a certain insider of the industry has given an exclaim as the title; and the expert also holds that it is one of the inevitable development directions for the PV industry in the future to reduce costs and improve efficiency by virtue of technologies.
It is said that IPCE is the key factor that affecting the development of the PV industry. The PV industry upsurged at a growth rate of 60% in 2010. After that, it is extremely urgent for China’s PV industry to improve the efficiency and lower the costs as overseas countries began to cut down their subsidies on solar power generation while both the price hike of raw materials and the price cut of PV modules posed impacts.
The reporter was told on site that the two parties would conduct cooperation on the crystalline silicon cell technology, and with new technologies putting into application, it was expected that the IPCE of Linuo PV cell will be greatly improved on the existing base. In addition, Linuo has built a talent exchange platform for learning from each other and exchanges jointly with IBM. Gao Yuankun, the President of Linuo Group, said:“ As the PV industry has developed into an era of intense competitions, it will speed up a new round of reshuffling in the industry. The improvement of IPCE is no doubt the most effective way for enterprises to achieve a success, and the key to finally determine the existence and development of enterprises is still technologies; as talents are the first important factor to achieve technical upgrade and breakthroughs, only by creating a world-level technician team and R&D team in the PV industry could an enterprise step onto the road towards a specialist enterprise.
At present, the PV industry is a major force in China’s clean and renewable energies, and the breakthroughs in such a field will have a revolutionary affect on the human being’s energy utilization in the future. Li Shengmao, a senior research fellow of China Advisor Industrial Research Center, said, “IPCE is one of the two core technology indexes for PV cells, and the current average IPCE of domestic single crystal silicon cells is about 18%. Since enterprises are faced with more and more cost pressure, improving the profit margin in the future will rely on related technical breakthroughs.” The technical cooperation between Linuo Power Group and IBM is the best example of turning disadvantages into advantages by mastering core technology, and it surely will be the turning point for transforming the development focus for the whole industry.
This round of cooperation is achieved as both parties are making efforts to boost the development of global clean energy. Si Haijian, President of Linuo Power Group, indicated when being interviewed, “The PV industry is one of the industries with the most development potential. In terms of the development of clean energies, both China and the U.S. are provided with the same advantages while having reached the cooperative framework in this field. The cooperation between IBM and Linuo has set a good example for hi-tech and new technology exports of the U.S., and it is one of the important measures on fulfilling intergovernmental agreements.” “I believe that through our efforts on the cooperation with IBM, Linuo will quickly grow from a follower into a leader in the industry!” said by Si Haijian.
