Intra-Hanergy deals continue to be a mainstay of the the Hanergy group's financial announcements, with the latest being registered this week for US$175 million of silicon-based BIPV production equipment. While the statement from the two companies does not reveal details, it is presumably a variant on amorphous silicon production equipment that Apollo has supplied Hanergy with in the past. The deal is for six production lines, each coming with a price tag of $29.25 million. Amorphous silicon PV modules are largely thought to be uncompetitive in the current PV market, having been surpassed by both CdTe and CIGS along with crystalline silicon technologies in terms of both production cost and conversion efficiency. BIPV may offer some hope for amorphous silicon applications, however it is only a niche market ...Den vollständigen Artikel lesen ...
