Solar PV industry chain
Two years ago, industry analysts had expected growth of electronics manufacturing in India will be the global growth rate of 5 times. Now, have the talent, technology and capital will be the first Indian company in the field of solar cells, power and ambitious "India as" the global solar cell industry to become a major player.
India’s electronics manufacturing industry has become increasingly active, covering areas such as LSI (large scale integrated circuit), PDP (plasma display), LCD panels, solar batteries. Among them, the solar cell industry development is most rapid, the old and new solar cell makers race to expand production scale. Have the talent, technology, capital, and have "speed" of India will soon become the world’s solar cell area of the new force.
India SolarSemiconductor (Solar Semiconductor), founder of Sulapani said: "Now, opportunities outside the United States, while in India." Flows to the United States and elsewhere over the past talents began to return to India, the Indian university graduates choose to stay in India . At present, India has the components to make solar cells and infrastructure. To take full advantage of the strong in other areas to earn money, more and more Indian companies getting into the solar cell industry. Level of these enterprises are mostly large enterprise groups of the second generation of founders, they are characterized by fast investment judgments. Talent, technology, capital, coupled with the speed, the Indian solar cell manufacturers ambitious.
Battle of old and new solar cell manufacturers
In 2007, India more than mass production of new solar cell manufacturers, original manufacturers have begun to take action to increase production.
Popularization of science, said the Indian Association of India in 2007 annual output of solar cell modules 80MW, 2012 as the 350MW, 2022 years 3GW. But in fact, India’s output of solar cells much faster than the forecast.
Indian solar cell manufacturers, the momentum of the most powerful of the three is the Tata BP, MoserBaer (Moser Baer), Reliance Industries. Among them, India, Tata BP Solar was founded in 1989, is a veteran solar cell manufacturers. The company plans by 2010, bringing annual production capacity of 50MW to 300MW. Compared with India MoserBaer optical company is put into operation in spring 2007, the new company. The company has developed ambitious plans: in 2010, 40MW of annual production capacity of the current increased to 500MW. India’s Reliance Group is India’s largest business group, is currently the state of Gujarat in western India to prepare for the manufacture of solar cells.
In addition, the technical staff returning from USA, founded So-larSemiconductor, veteran player in the Indian MaharishiSolarTechnology (Mahalisi solar energy technology) and other solar cell manufacturers plan to increase production.
There is no doubt, a battle of old and new manufacturers of solar competition has started in India. Similarly, in other electronic components, the technical support by the European and American firms, many enterprises have been planned production LSI, PDP has also started a small trial, while the LCD panel, Indian manufacturers are considering the localization of local manufacturing. If you use a clean vacuum process plant and the rise of the solar cell industry, then India’s FPD (Flat Panel Display) and the LSI and other electronic components manufacturing base will become better.
SunFab concern
Solar cell manufacturers in India among the global industry most concerned about MoserBaer optical company. The company is on the outskirts of New Delhi, Noida for the use of 2.2m x 2.6m large glass bottom silicon thin film solar cell production preparation. MoserBaer optical companies use Applied Materials, Inc. (AppliedMaterials)’s SunFab thin film silicon solar cell production line. SunFab including the manufacture of solar cells required by the device, is a complete solution. MoserBaer Optical Company is the world’s first use of SunFab manufacturers, therefore, concern about its success.
If SunFab success of such a complete solution, with large sums of money of non-solar cell manufacturers will be able to easily manufacture of thin film silicon solar cells. 2.2m x 2.6m large lower floor there is a substantial possibility of solar cell manufacturing costs, if the company’s SunFab MoserBaer film silicon photovoltaic solar cell production line successfully put into operation, the Indian forces in the territory of solar cells will be completely changed.
Among the many concerns of the industry under, SunFab thin film silicon solar cell production line equipment installation is line steadily. Applied Materials sent about 100 technical personnel. At present, the equipment installation has more than half of the equipment configuration and Applied Materials Inc. announced SunFab the same concept map. Determine the success or failure SunFab plasma CVD (chemical vapor deposition) equipment has been installed and connected to a power supply, MoserBaer optical company said the glass bottom of moving the upcoming test. In line with the construction of this production line, the company has built a new self-generating equipment, and now everything is ready, only to be put into a.
If the thin film silicon solar cell production line put into operation, MoserBaer the company’s thin film silicon photovoltaic solar cell production capacity will reach 40MW. Although affected by heavy rain, plant construction delayed, but the company’s production line MoserBaer photovoltaic installation and commissioning is scheduled. If we can improve by using tandem structure conversion efficiency, the company’s annual production capacity may also increase to 60MW.
In addition, MoserBaer optical company before the end of March 2008, the crystalline silicon solar cell production capacity increased from 40MW to 80MW. Currently, the company is through the transformation of crystalline silicon cell production line, to support the 125 mm square from the bottom into a support base plate 150 mm square, and a longer processing time by increasing the number of heat treatment equipment in preparation for the yield.
In addition, the company also plans out of the manufacturing base in Noida, Chennai in southern India a Manufacturing Base. Chennai film silicon solar cells production base will mainly scheduled for commissioning in 2009. By then, Chennai will be a large-scale solar cell manufacturing base. The company’s president and chief technology officer, believes that with Sharp’s solar cell manufacturing base than can be said that "the equivalent of Ge city Noida, Chennai equivalent City." GE Town and City is Sharp’s thin film silicon solar cell manufacturing base. In line with expansion plans, MoserBaer optical company is also increasing technical personnel. Apart from the production of optical discs large number of technical personnel deployed parent company, the company has successively employed working in the old solar battery plant in India and U.S. and European companies in the Indian technical personnel.
Localization of manufacturing equipment
August 2007 has just been put into the module SolarSemiconductor also plans to increase production. Although the production time has reached an annual output capacity of 30MW, but because very high demand, the company’s decision in 2008 in one fell swoop to Shengchannengli Tigao to 130MW, located in existing plant in central India, Hyderabad (Hyderabad) Gouzhi the The new plant site.
SolarSemiconductor major markets in North America and Europe, therefore, the company also plans to build adjacent to the North American market a new plant in Mexico. Mexico’s annual production capacity of the plant module 60MW, the supplier of mid-2008. In addition to North America and Europe, the market for the product the factory will expand to South America. SolarSemiconductor present to the module production as a business center, aims to establish a brand in the near future. To further expand the scale, the company will be involved in future operations outside the module.
Not only financially strong companies to accelerate the new output, the attitude of veteran solar cell manufacturers have been positive. Tata BP Solar is scheduled for 2010, annual production capacity of 300MW, was created in 1999 MaharishiSolarTechnology also will raise capacity from the current 2.5MW to 40MW.
MaharishiSolarTechnology Chennai plant is being carried out from the wafer, module to module production. In addition, to compensate for the shortage of silicon materials, the plant will be put into polysilicon. The end of 2008, the company will build a production capacity of 100 tons of polysilicon materials, equipment, time, unit and module production capacity will increase to 40MW. In line with increasing production, MaharishiSolarTechnol-ogy will gradually improve cell and module production capacity. In addition, thin film silicon solar cell-related projects are developed. Currently, the company is working with manufacturing equipment maker Applied Materials and other consultations.
As solar cells and other electronic components Manufacture — the cornerstone of manufacturing equipment makers have been in power savings. HHV manufacturing equipment vendors in India since its inception in 1965, to a vacuum device as the center several times to fill the gaps in the Indian manufacturing equipment. Among the major solar cell manufacturing equipment for solar cell modules 1997 laminating machine, the 2001 film silicon solar cell prototype devices and 2005 devices such as magnetron sputtering.
HHV also in 2008 opened up a new business, Applied Materials, and love that made Section advancing a package of solar cell production line supply business. HHV provide annual 7MW of thin-film silicon solar cell production line, the price of 750 million to eight million U.S. dollars, less than other manufacturing equipment vendors for half the price.
This thin film silicon solar cell production line of laminating machines, plasma CVD and magnetron sputtering device Zhuangzhi, by HHV companies themselves make and the cleaning equipment, laser designated film unit is planned by other Indian companies OEM (original equipment manufacturers operators) to provide.
To make up for thin film silicon solar cells in the past, deficiencies in the areas, HHV in December 2007 set up a thin film silicon solar cell manufacturing affiliates, subsidiaries, headquarters and factory would be located in Bangalore, HHV build solar cell plant, production date scheduled for the 2008 9 months.
