  • Audi Models with a Solar Roof: Car Manufacturer Cooperates with Hanergy
    Audi MediaInfo Corporate Communications Elise Pham Press Spokeswoman Procurement Telephone: +49 841 89 48168 E-mail: [email protected] www.audi-mediacenter.com Audi models with a solar roof: Car manufacturer cooperates with Hanergy Audi and Alta Devices, subsidiary of Hanergy, integrate thin-film solar cells into panoramic glass roofs Board of Management Member for Procurement Dr. Bernd Martens: “Solar technology extends the range of our electric vehicles and is also sustainable” First joint prototype by the end of 2017 Ingolstadt/Beijing/Sunnyvale, August 23, 2017 – Thin-film solar cells in panoramic glass roofs of Audi models: Audi and Alta Devices, a subsidiary of the Chinese solar-cell specialist, Hanergy, are working together on this development project. With this cooperation, the partners aim to generate solar energy to increase the range of electric vehicles. The first prototype is to be built by the end of 2017. As the first step, Audi and Hanergy want to integrate Alta Devices’ thin-film solar cells into a panoramic glass roof. In the future, almost the entire roof surface is to be covered with solar cells. The electricity they generate will flow into the car’s electrical system and can supply for example the air-conditioning system or the seat heaters – a gain in efficiency that has a direct positive impact on the range of an electric vehicle. “The range of electric cars plays a decisive role for our customers. Together with Hanergy, we plan to install innovative solar technology in our electric cars that will extend their range and is also sustainable,” stated Audi Board of Management Member for Procurement Dr.

  • Challenges for the Future of Tandem Photovoltaics on the Path to Terawatt Levels: a Technology Review
    Challenges for the future of tandem photovoltaics on the path to terawatt levels: A technology review Filipe Martinho Department of Photonics Engineering, Technical University of Denmark, DK-4000 Roskilde, Denmark. Corresponding author: Filipe Martinho ([email protected]) Abstract As the photovoltaic sector approaches 1 TW in cumulative installed capacity, we provide an overview of the current challenges to achieve further technological improvements. On the raw materials side, we see no fundamental limitation to expansion in capacity of the current market technologies, even though basic estimates predict that the PV sector will become the largest consumer of Ag in the world after 2030. On the other hand, recent market data on PV costs indicates that the largest cost fraction is now infrastructure and area-related, and nearly independent of the core cell technology. Therefore, additional value adding is likely to proceed via an increase in energy yield metrics such as the power density and/or efficiency of the PV module. However, current market technologies are near their fundamental detailed balance efficiency limits. The transition to multijunction PV in tandem configurations is regarded as the most promising path to surpass this limitation and increase the power per unit area of PV modules. So far, each specific multijunction concept faces particular obstacles that have prevented their upscaling, but the field is rapidly improving. In this review work, we provide a global comparison between the different types of multijunction concepts, including III-Vs, Si- based tandems and the emergence of perovskite/Si devices. Coupled with analyses of new notable developments in the field, we discuss the challenges common to different multijunction cell architectures, and the specific challenges of each type of device, both on a cell level and on a module integration level.

  • Chinese Market Commentary Mar. 2015
    SuMi TRUST Chinese Commentary March 2015 Key Points 1. China’s economy under the “New Normal” A summary of China’s 2014 economy would be “weak investments, stable consumption and an enlarged trade surplus”. After nearly 30 years of high growth, the Chinese economy has started to slow down and enter a stage of “New Normal”. What does this mean for China going forward and what should investors look out for? 2. Stock in Focus: Hanergy Thin Film Power (00566.HK) We take an in-depth look at Hanergy: the largest thin-film solar enterprise in China. At the end of 2014, the market value of Hanergy surpassed the HKD 100 billion mark, and the company is committed to the continued acquisition of advanced technology, expansion in the overseas market, and high-growth in the clean energy sector. 3. Stock Market Review (2014.11-2015.2) The Shanghai Composite Index (SHCI) rose 36.78% while the Shenzhen Component Index (SZCI) rose 42.94% during the period Nov. 2014 to Feb. 2015. We review recent market movements for the start of 2015. Cover 1. China’s economy under the “New Normal” After nearly 30 years of high growth, the Chinese economy has started to slow down and enter a “New Normal”* phase. According to official statistics released on January 20th 2015, the Q4 GDP growth rate for 2014 was 7.3% while annual GDP growth was 7.4%. This was lower than the 7.7% recorded in both 2012 and 2013. The main driver behind this growth was the services industry, but in 2014 the tertiary industry constituted 51.6% of GDP (the secondary industry constituted 43.2%; see chart below).

  • China's Global Power Database Methodological Note
    Global Development Policy Center DATABASE CODING MANUAL • 09/2020 China’s Global Power Database Methodological Note ZHONGSHU LI, XINYUE MA, AND KEVIN GALLAGHER 1 Overview of the Database The China’s Global Power (CGP) database records all power projects around the world involving Chinese capital, including foreign direct investment (FDI) and pub- lic finance through Chinese national development bank and export-import credit agency. All project attributes can be categorized into three sections. The first sec- tion includes the fundamental information about the status of the power plant, such as its name, location, capacity, technology type, the year of commission, and estimated carbon dioxide emissions for fossil plants. The second section includes information on if the project involves Chinese foreign direct investment, such as the name of Chinese investor, whether the project is greenfield or M&A, and the share of Chinese investment in the project. The third section includes information on if the project receives Chinese public finance, such as the loan provider and recipient. A detailed list of the project attributes can be found in the appendix. The data col- lection processes for projects involving foreign direct investment is different from the projects involving Chinese policy finance. Their methodologies are described separately in section 2. www.bu.edu/gdp 2 Methodology of Data Collection for FDI Projects Figure 1 shows an overview of the methodology for our database. Section 2.1 dis- cusses how we generated the initial list of projects through three steps. Section 2.2 and 2.3 discuss how we expanded the initial list of projects to include investment details and carbon dioxide emissions for every project on the list.
