But what can survive this round of baptism and successfully leave is the real gold. This is also the meaning of the club's existence - to unite the heterogeneous camp at this critical node. The starting point for an action is not only limited to the club itself, but also hopes to affect the entire photovoltaic industry.

Cost reduction and efficiency improvement seminars and upgrades

Accelerate the breakthrough of heterojunction cost constraints

The second roundtable meeting centered on the focus theme of "cost reduction and efficiency improvement". Member representatives shared in-depth discussions on supply chain issues faced in actual operations, cost reduction strategies, efficiency improvement methods, etc. Yang Bochuan, President of Risen Energy Research Institute, was the first to speak: "As Mr. Wu said in his speech, the current industry competition is fierce, and the high cost problem of heterojunction products needs to be solved urgently. Risen Energy has the advantage of integration and can coordinate the upstream and downstream industry chains. There are many benefits during the construction process, and the cost reduction benefits in many aspects are significant. It is currently helping our heterojunction Fuxi modules to be put into large-scale mass production, and has certain cost advantages. We believe that collaborative construction is the solution to costs. The key to the problem is that we invite industry chain partners to participate in the discussion today.”

Zhang Zhongwei, President of the Photovoltaic Segment of Guosheng Technology: "From the terminal perspective, customers expect cost-effective and efficient photovoltaic products. Heterojunction can fully meet the end customers' demand for "high efficiency", but the relatively high cost has become an unfavorable factor affecting the final decision of some customers. Conducive to the large-scale promotion of heterojunction products. Fortunately, heterojunction products have a clear cost reduction path. We can optimize Dimension, Busbar, silver-coated copper, and reduce silver paste. In order to gain a strong boost from the scale effect for cost reduction, club members can work together and share resources to accelerate large-scale cost reduction and improve the cost competition of heterojunction products. "

Wang Xin, Chairman of Leascend PV: "The establishment of the China High Efficiency Heterojunction Club not only symbolizes resource sharing and complementary advantages, but also represents a spirit of mutual help and win-win. Facing the efficiency challenges in the industry, 'High Efficiency ' is the advantage of heterojunction. Through the platform of the club, we can jointly establish efficiency publicity standards objectively and fairly, and continue to increase publicity, thereby effectively increasing the market's awareness and acceptance of heterojunction technology .At the same time, in terms of cost reduction and efficiency improvement, it is expected that with the unity and cooperation of the club, the advantages of heterojunction technology can be fully integrated and committed to promoting cost reduction and efficiency improvement of heterojunction in terms of technological innovation and supply chain collaboration; in the sales market, it is necessary to achieve new breakthroughs in expanding market share and push the entire photovoltaic industry to a higher level.”

Xu Xin, Senior Vice President of Huasun: "Huasun has done a lot of work in improving efficiency and reducing costs of HJT, including steel mesh, silver-coated copper, 0BB, etc. to improve efficiency and reduce costs of HJT. Huasun is willing to share the latest progress and results with all members of the club to jointly accelerate the efficiency and cost reduction of the heterojunction industry. "

Tang Xuan, executive vice president of Leascend PV : "In the current era of cost reduction, our top priority is to pass on the benefits to users and attract more market participants by lowering the installation threshold, thereby expanding market share. Club members united Joint investment will make this process faster and more effective. Such cooperation will not only help improve the competitiveness of the entire industry, but will also bring more high-quality and efficient energy solutions to users.”

Liu Chang, founder of Solarzoom: "Empirical evidence of power generation can solve the problem of customers' judgment standards on the quality of technology. Use actual power generation data to prove HJT, and help terminals better understand the product in the process of reducing costs and increasing efficiency. "

Zhang Xiong, executive deputy general manager of Raymysolar: "The market price war is becoming more and more fierce, and the advantages of heterojunction's high power generation have been buried by public opinion. Empirical data should be released on a large scale to make the market aware of the high power generation of heterojunction. At the same time, we will gather the clubs to jointly reduce costs and work together to reduce costs in multiple links to gradually increase market share.”

Zhang Jinjian, Vice Chairman and Chief Operating Officer of AKCOME : “The advantage of the alliance is that we advance together and retreat together. Therefore, we can formulate a unified price line that can maintain the development of the enterprise and have a competitive advantage in the market, and expand the proportion of installed capacity. , improve terminal recognition and then gradually make cost-effective products to increase corporate profit margins.”

Chu Yifan, Chairman of OW SOLAR: “Concentrate on the role of the alliance to promote cost reduction and increase efficiency,  support everyone’s ideas and plans for unified publicity, unified price lines, and collaborative cost reduction. Monthly meetings among alliance members can also ensure that these tasks are advanced in an orderly manner. We are very confident about the future of HJT technology.”

Zhao Xuewen, Chairman of Photovoltaic New Energy: "Industrial competition is not only fierce, but also trapped in a whirlpool of homogeneity. Heterostructures are harmonious but different, and low-carbon, high-efficiency are the core advantages. If the propaganda caliber can be unified and lowered in the mainstream such as 0BB Working together in this technical direction, I believe we can create a differentiated path to advancement.

Ni Zhichun, general manager of WINHITECH: "We all know that heterojunction has leading comprehensive advantages, such as high efficiency, low temperature coefficient, low degradation, long-term stability, etc. We have actually realized these advantages in research and development as an enterprise. This is why we are so firmly committed to this track. We hope that with the help of the alliance, more customers can experience the advantages of heterojunction technology.”
