BEIJING, Feb. 5,
2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Hanergy Thin Film Power Group Ltd. held a mobile energy strategy presentation
and the launch ceremony of its global thin-film solar product innovation competition. Mobile energy, as
envisioned by Hanergy, is a novel concept and strategic judgment based on the global energy development
trend.
Through its world-leading thin-film solar technology, Hanergy will help mankind enter
the mobile energy era and lead a revolution in the way energy is generated and used.
In his
keynote speech Hanergy Chairman Li Hejun pointed out that with mankind's continuous progress and the
accelerated development of science and technology, traditional energy structures and energy utilization
patterns are undergoing disruptive change. Mobile energy has the potential to revolutionize our energy
systems, and Hanergy will take the lead in creating a global mobile energy era through thin-film solar
power.
Li Hejun's vision of mobile energy aligns with the idea of humans being able to
directly harness the sun's energy in much the same way green plants use chlorophyll. With cutting-edge
features such as flexibility, light weight, superior low light performance, and diversified colors and
shapes, thin-film solar technology is widely applicable to a variety of fields such as distributed power
generation, mobile 3C products, wearable devices, fully solar-powered automobiles, solar-powered unmanned
aerial vehicles and satellites.
Mobile energy is based on distributed power generation
technology and integrated with technologies including energy storage, mobile Internet, and controlled
data tracking to make highly-efficient and consistent mobile energy supply a reality for everyone.
Growing environmental pressure and depletion of fossil fuels will help drive the demand for
electric vehicles and the mobile energy systems that power these vehicles. Highly mobile and adaptable
thin-film solar technology is the best solution for these demands and will form a new pillar of growth in
the "new normal" phase of China's economy.
The current market penetration of electric cars
worldwide is more than 400,000, a number expected to reach 5-10 million by 2020. Leveraging thin-film
technology, Hanergy is cooperating with three foreign and two domestic car design institutions to develop
fully solar-powered cars. Three to five new models will be released in October this year. According to
calculations, when a one-ton car is integrated with six square meters of Hanergy's highly-efficient
gallium arsenide flexible thin-film module, it can travel 80 to 100 kilometers on an average of four
hours of sunlight per day. The solar car market has huge potential as it is expected to reach 46 GW by
2020.
The electronic devices market, another important mobile energy application field, is
expected to include over 6 billion smartphones globally by 2020. The power consumption of a smartphone is
about 4 kWh each year; so the overall power consumption of 6 billion smart phones will surpass 24 billion
kWh. If tablet computers are taken into account, the total power consumed will be approximately
equivalent to a half-year's energy output of the Three Gorges Dam Hydroelectric Power Plant.
During the unveiling of Hanergy's mobile energy strategy, its global thin-film solar product innovation
competition was also officially launched. With "Leading Thin-Film Solar & Creating a Mobile Energy Era"
as its theme, the competition aims to stimulate scientific innovation in the mobile energy era, and
promote diversified applications of thin-film technology through cross-field cooperation.
The
competition is open to product developers, R&D institutions, designers, engineers, teachers and students
from design colleges and anyone else who is interested and passionate about design and creativity. The
topics cover six industries including architecture, transportation, electronics, home use, fully
solar-powered automobiles and others. Applicants can choose from any topic and submit as many entry works
as they want.
To encourage global design experts' participation in the competition, Hanergy
has prepared generous awards. The winner of the highest honor of the competition - Hanergy Dream Award -
will be awarded 1 million RMB. In addition, the competition sets up a variety of awards such as the Gold
Award, Silver Award, Best Creativity Award and Best Charity Award under each theme.
