Platinum Yang solar resume trading yesterday, shares surged more than 3 percent once the maximum to see 0.91 yuan, mainly because the company announced that private clean energy generation and the Mainland Chinese enterprises signed a sales contract can be controlled, can sell to the Chinese totaling 2.55 billion U.S. dollars (about 19.8 billion Hong Kong dollars) of thin film solar module production equipment. In addition, the Chinese will be able to subscribe for 1.17 billion Hong Kong dollars Solar Platinum Yang about 49 million shares, representing Platinum Yang has been enlarged share capital of 51.5%. In other words, Han Yang can be a big addition to platinum customers, will be the majority shareholder.
Platinum Yang formerly engaged in toy business, red hair group, to 4.18 billion yuan in October last year bought a company engaged in manufacturing thin film solar PV module production line of specialized equipment and the company’s 80% interest, which involved transformation of solar energy business, as its main business for the PV component manufacturers to provide equipment and production lines, so could that be in the upstream industry.
In fact, want to talk about today is thin film solar cells, solar power system has three type of batteries, including crystalline silicon, thin film and concentrator, which is the mainstream crystalline silicon, such as silicon and polysilicon. Polysilicon Zengyin demand, prices have been pushed up to 500 U.S. dollars / kg, has dropped to about 50 U.S. dollars / kg.
Although solar energy is considered clean energy, but the polysilicon refining process is energy-intensive and high pollution. The principle of thin film solar cell is made of a layer of thin film solar cell, the silicon is extremely rare, or do not use polysilicon, it can reduce the production costs and reduce pollution.
Thin film solar cells available for some time actually, but because of the low photoelectric conversion efficiency than silicon, so I did not universal, but as technology advances, photovoltaic conversion efficiency has been more than two years ago to upgrade 30% to 40%. According to statistics, in 2005 the total solar thin film solar cells, cell capacity of only 5% last year, its share has more than 20%. Thin film solar cells is becoming increasingly popular, will limit growth in demand for polysilicon.
