Qssolar Inc. Operational fifth-generation amorphous silicon thin-film battery

China Nantong Qssolar Inc. Recently announced in Shanghai, China's first fifth-generation large-area amorphous silicon thin film solar cells have been Qssolar Inc. Production, the company is expected in two and a half years to make photovoltaic electricity price to 0.65 yuan per yuan, the cost of making solar thermal power plant close.

At present, to the manufacture, production of fifth-generation thin-film battery few enterprises or factories. Qssolar Inc. Similar equipment cost only 25% of imported equipment, and to be further reduced to below 20%. Qssolar Inc. Has produced the world's first single-chip thin-film batteries, thin-film battery weight of only half of the current production technology in China, the United States, Japan, Australia and nearly 60 countries applied for a patent. This process will help to significantly reduce production costs, the company determined that in 2011 the cost of thin-film batteries will also be reduced to 0.9 U.S. dollars-per-watt-per-watt 0.5 U.S. dollars. By then, photovoltaic electricity price per unit will be reduced to 0.65 yuan. It is, Qssolar Inc. Is expected to achieve by the end of 2010 capacity 500MW, has become China's largest production base of amorphous silicon thin-film batteries.
