The child has no mother. It's a long story. When he mentioned this question, he couldn't help but pause.

"Then you can make a long story short," Shen Ying urged from the side.

"This is at home, there will always be no business secrets involved, right?" Fan Xiang also said.

"Although it is not a business secret, it is also more important to us." Fan Wubing smiled bitterly, "Don't talk nonsense after you go out, otherwise it will easily disrupt my industrial layout."

After a pause, Fan Wuyao said to everyone that, in fact, our firm did not publicize our technological achievements, mainly because of industrial chain strategy considerations, and believes that there is no time to invest in the photovoltaic industry on a large scale at this time. "

"Why?" Shen Ying asked curiously.

"Because of the problem of raw materials, we have not completely solved it yet." Fan Wuyao replied.

In the photovoltaic industry, we must first have a stable supply of raw materials, in line with the increase in production capacity, and then carry out different promotions to increase sales channels.

It is undeniable that no matter how other materials change, photovoltaic cells using silicon as raw materials are still the mainstream of the entire photovoltaic industry. Even if major companies strive to develop thin film photovoltaic cell technology, they will not be able to replace silicon cells in a short period of time. Market position.

It is conceivable that obtaining sufficient materials at a reasonable price is an indispensable and necessary condition in this fast-growing photovoltaic industry. That is to say, if the company cannot stabilize the supply of silicon materials, at that moment...not to mention the production capacity. .

Although silicon is the twentieth rich element in the environmental crust, with abundant mineral reserves and easy mining, there is no reason for a shortage, but silicon materials are not only the raw materials for photovoltaic cells, but also at the same time. d LCD TVs, computer chips and other necessary raw materials for the semiconductor industry.

In the past, almost all silicon materials were supplied to the semiconductor industry, and only a small part was supplied to the photovoltaic cell industry. However, in recent years, computer chips,. d The semiconductor industry, such as LCD TVs, continues to explode, and the demand for silicon materials continues to increase.

At the same time, the photovoltaic industry is also rapidly expanding, and the amount of silicon used has been expanding year by year. In recent years, the amount has been soaring. It has gradually approached the demand of the semiconductor industry and even exceeded the growth of silicon production capacity. This has led to a shortage of silicon materials and silicon material prices. All the way up.

"The price of solar-grade silicon has risen from US$8 per kilogram to US$18 per kilogram this year. Although silicon manufacturers are expanding their production capacity, from the current development situation, the shortage will not be resolved in ten years. "Fan Wubiao explained to everyone, "So what channels can photovoltaic companies use to stabilize the supply of silicon materials? Simply put, there are two main methods. One method is to cooperate with industry and tourism companies, such as signing long-term contracts. The pricing agreement is to ensure the supply of raw materials in the future; another method is to get involved in the upstream business according to the corporate strategy. Take Japan's Sharp as an example, it is planning to use the company's long-term strategy and use its own strength to develop the upstream business in the next few years It will set up factories to produce silicon materials. At the same time, it also intends to sign long-term silicon wafer supply contracts with leading companies in the industry, such as Norway, through Sumitomo Corporation."

Fan Wubing means that only after ensuring a sufficient and stable supply of raw materials, they will actively expand production capacity to ensure that there are enough finished products to meet the huge market demand.

In fact, based on the estimation of disease-free conditions, as long as their raw material supply can be fully guaranteed, the production capacity in the first year will reach 1 million kilowatts, or more.

"Only one million kilowatt-hours of electricity a year? That's too little, right?" Song Qing didn't know much about this, and asked a little surprised when she heard that, "Is the total amount of solar power so low?"

"Please, you haven't figured out the situation." Fan Wubing gave Song Qing a blank look. "The unit of electricity consumption is kilowatt-hour. If our production capacity is one million kilowatts, these products can be provided within an hour. One million kilowatt-hours of electricity, how much electricity can you calculate in one day?"

"Twenty-four million kilowatt-hours of electricity a day?!" Song Qing was shocked when she counted. If you count this way, it will be tens of billions of kilowatt-hours in a year.

"Oh, it can't be calculated so simply. After all, this must be valid under the sun. Naturally, there is no way to get electricity at night. In addition, if there is wind, rain, snow, and cloudy days, you can get a 40% discount. That's not bad." Fan Wuyao explained.

"Oh, that's pretty awesome, even if it is 4 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity a year, it is equivalent to the electricity consumption of 100 million ordinary households a month." Shen Ying said after a rough estimate.

Of course, this is only the production capacity of the first production year predicted by Fan Wubing. According to the general development law, the possibility of the production capacity quadrupling within three years is still very high. After being fully guaranteed, this capacity will expand very quickly. After all, once the technology is mature, production is easy to expand.

In that case, Fan Investment Group's photovoltaic products can provide daily electricity to ordinary users across the country in about three or four years.

"Of course, there is still a problem of electric energy storage. This is the most important obstacle." Fan Wuyao said.

Battery technology has always been a domestic weakness. For a long time, the Chinese people have re-used imported batteries. The basic domestic technology is stuck in a fault. Only ordinary batteries with low technical content and heavy pollution can be produced. Therefore, Fan Wuyi said that electric energy storage is a problem. Big problem.

"Then since you are already engaged in the photovoltaic industry, you should also take advantage of the battery technology. Anyway, it is a technology in an industrial chain that will benefit you a lot." Fan Hengke said to his son.

"I think so too, so the company is now considering driving a hybrid car. In the future, it will be able to use both fuel and electric power to drive. High-efficiency battery packs are needed." Fan Wubing said, if solar power is realized The simultaneous exhibition of technology and electric vehicle technology will be very helpful to solve the domestic energy shortage problem. "

"Your idea is very good. It is better to have a set of more convincing numbers." Fan Heng was very interested after listening to his son, and said to his son, I will discuss it with Gongchang Mai, and strive to be in the policy. I would like to give you some inclination. After all, this is clean energy, and it will have a positive influence on the image of the entire country. Everyone must be very interested. Fan Wubing nodded and agreed.

In fact, the questions he has to care about are far from what he has said so far. The next step in increasing production capacity is to increase sales. Traditional industrial photovoltaic companies will strengthen communication with module suppliers, system...suppliers, distributors and construction contractors to understand market needs and increase sales channels.

Of course, this is not enough. As the concept of photovoltaic power is not fully popularized in life, increasing sales in the current demand is only a passive strategy. Photovoltaic companies must actively increase consumers’ interest in photovoltaic power. Demand is the essence of the industry.

As for flying samples, is it increasing consumer demand for photovoltaic power? This issue is also more complicated, and it is often promoted through government actions.

In fact, at present, the concept of photovoltaics is not popular in people's lives, so the strategy of enterprises is also logically to make consumers know and enjoy the advantages of using photovoltaic power.

Under the current high cost of photovoltaic power, it is generally through the policies and subsidies of the governments of various countries. Large enterprises install large-scale photovoltaic power systems, hold public lectures, and expand the application of photovoltaic power so that consumers can use it regardless of their homes. Wherever you work, you can enjoy the benefits of photovoltaic power in places of leisure and entertainment, making photovoltaic power a part of your life unknowingly.

However, no matter where the major companies focus, it is not difficult to see that their goal is to improve technology and reduce electricity costs, and because the first-generation photovoltaic cells use monocrystalline silicon as the material, the cost reduction space is limited. It is expected that the development direction of photovoltaic cells will focus on thin film technology and expand the application of photovoltaic technology infinitely.

Of course, in addition to upgrading technology, photovoltaic cell companies should also implement corresponding supply chain strategies to cater to the needs of the market, and consolidate the supply of raw silicon materials through long-term contracts or their own exhibitions to the industrial and tourism business to ensure that silicon materials are endless. Coupled with increasing the production capacity of photovoltaic cells, using the preferential policies of various governments for the photovoltaic industry, increasing the public's awareness of photovoltaic power to increase the demand for photovoltaic power ~lightnovelpub.net~ so as to bring photovoltaic power to every point of daily life In a drop.

"In fact, the role of demonstration is also very important. I plan to establish a photovoltaic power base in Lingxi Province, which has relatively better sunshine conditions, to provide energy for future metal smelting. This will greatly reduce energy consumption. "Fan Wubing finally said.

Fan Heng agreed, because Fan Wubing informed him that a new large-scale rare metal deposit had been discovered in Lingxi. Obviously, there will be a huge gap in electricity demand for mining in the future, except for traditional... thermal power support. In addition, the grid-connected photovoltaic power supply will play a big role, saving energy on the one hand and saving money on the other.

Everyone had finished their meal and was chatting here. Soon Fan Wuyi received another call, but it was from the intelligence department of Gonghai. They said that the installation was installed in Tong Yu's Shan office. The mini-monitoring equipment finally captured the footage of Li Jinchuan entering his office while Tong Yushan was away.

"Well, I'll listen to your detailed report later." Fan Wubing replied calmly.

"Listen, the tone of the disease-free is more and more bureaucratic, Fan Shou smiled and said to Shen Ying and Song Qing.
