Amorphous silicon thin-film solar cells: increased investment

However, silicon solar cells is not the package to make the industry does not pay, in addition to the market, cost, technical aspects of the risk, the demand for funds, supply chain, manufacturing power supply and technical personnel, and other areas have a high threshold.

In the demand for funds, a 40 MW-50MW of amorphous silicon thin film battery production facilities in a total investment of 10 billion, while the economies of scale should be recognized in the 300 MW-500MW. This requires investment, not only to raise sufficient initial investment, but also for sustained investment in the next two or three years to prepare.

In the supply chain organization, needed for the production of the high rate of ultra-white translucent glass, high-purity silane and so only a limited sources of supply. Production enterprises must ensure stable and cheap supply of materials, otherwise the competition in recent years the scene of silicon material will inevitably be staged again.

Technical talent has always been a thin film solar cell development one of the bottlenecks. In addition to the structural design of the battery itself, needs a lot of testing professionals, chemical vapor deposition, vacuum sputtering, laser engraved lines, and special technology and a wide range of special gases, high water, purification, air-conditioning systems and other support systems for plant All require a large number of professional background and practical experience of the staff. Since a large number of projects under construction, to attract talent has become an unprecedented fierce competition.

In short, the silicon thin film solar cells of the rise of investment has become an indisputable fact. But every one of them to join the enterprise should be a comprehensive analysis of their opportunities and challenges facing the full estimated earnings and risk, rational and objective to make their own investment decisions, this industry is healthy and sustainable development.
