5月25日上午11点1366钱燕超先生将会在上海光伏展的光伏产业前沿技术论坛嘉里大酒店浦东大宴会厅多功能厅3做直接硅片技术报告,重点介绍drift field 即硅片内部掺杂体浓度渐变形成漂移电场
美国硅片厂1366 Technologies先前取得Hanwha Q CELLS达700MW的“kerfless”硅片订单,近日又透过韩国的韩华投资集团C轮融资取得1,000万美金的投资资金,将用于投资该公司位于北纽约的kerfless硅片制造厂。
  1366 Technologies的kerfless硅片系以专利技术Direct Wafer?工艺,直接透过融化的硅料所生成的外延片。由于只需一道手续,因此可省下大量制造成本与能源消耗,同时能维持一定的稳定效率。今年四月,1366 Technologies在与Hanwha Q CELLS完成约一年的合作研究后,取得五年700MW的kerfless硅片订单,将用于生产Q CELLS的Q.ANTUM系列多晶PERC电池,转换效率可达19.1%。
  经过三轮融资,1366 Technologies共获得韩华投资集团3,250万美金的投资基金,最新取得的1,000万美金将用于纽约杰纳西县的kerfless硅片厂。该厂将是全球第一座商业规模的kerfless硅片厂房,第一期设备产能预计将达250MW,产品将会根据合约提供给Q CELLS。
  但是, 1366 Technologies的执行长Frank van Mierlo接受PV Magazine访谈时,并未透漏工厂是否将如预期会在本季动工,只表示厂房的设计与机电工程都在进行中,土地也已准备好了。Van Mierlo表示,杰纳西工厂所需经费约1亿美金,而公司仍在洽谈几个融资合约,但“近期会有更多好消息”,也预期2017年底前,第一期产线就能完工运转。
US-Based ‘Direct Wafer’ producer, 1366 Technologies has secured US$10 million in funding from private equity firm, Hanwha Investment Corporation to support the building of its first major production facility at the at high-tech Science and Technology Advanced Manufacturing Park (STAMP) in Genesee County, New York.
Woojae Hahn, President and CEO of Hanwha Investment Corporation said, “Hanwha Investment Corporation actively seeks out companies with groundbreaking technologies that transform industries. In just a short period of time, 1366 has moved from proof of concept to commercial-ready technology, achieving technical milestones steadily and rapidly. We believe the 1366 team is well positioned for commercial success.”
The solar wafer producer plans a first phase construction of a 250MW nameplate capacity facility, said to be able of producing around 50 million single wafers per annum and directly employ 300 staff. The company was issued a US$150 million loan guarantee from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to build a commercial-scale manufacturing facility. The facility is scheduled to be online in 2017.
“It is a tremendous validation of our commercialization plans, and a clear signal that we’re poised to disrupt the US$10 billion and growing silicon solar wafer market,” added Frank van Mierlo, CEO, 1366 Technologies.
Recently, 1366 Technologies secured a major supply deal with Hanwha Q CELLS, a ‘Silicon Module Super League’ (SMSL) member that secured up to 700MW of wafer production over 5 year years for the start-up.
Hanwha Q CELLS is currently ramping solar cell and module assembly capacity to 5.2GW in the first half of 2016, while only having in-house ingot production of 1.4GW and 900MW of wafer capacity.
