|
| |
| Biography |
Dr.
Winfried Hoffmann graduated in physics - diploma in superconductivity
- and did his PhD-thesis in biophysics. After a 3 years senior
lectureship at the University of London (laser flash photolysis
in biochemistry) he joined the just formed photovoltaic R
& D group for thin film solar cells of NUKEM in 1979 and
took over its leadership in 1985. Main activity was piloting
of innovative crystalline silicon wafer solar cells and large
area module technology as well as the introduction of commercial
marketing and sales structures. |
|
He
initiated the Joint-Venture in the photovoltaic field between
NUKEM and Daimler-Benz Aerospace to form "Angewandte
Solarenergie - ASE GmbH" in 1994 where he served as Managing
Director. In the same year the acquisition of 100 % shares
of Mobil Solar as a subsidiary company was done where he serves
until today as Chairman of the Board of Directors. The integration
of NUKEM within TESSAG and 2001 into the renamed RWE Solutions
led the company ASE change its name into RWE Solar GmbH. In
this time he was Executive Vice President of the Business
Unit Solar at RWE Solutions and for the time being CEO and
President of ASE, later Chairman of the Board of RWE Solar.
He again initiated in October 2002 the Joint Venture between
RWE Solutions and SCHOTT Glas, the RWE SCHOTT Solar GmbH,
where he served as Chairman of the Board. Effective at 2005
SCHOTT acquired the shares of RWE Solutions and the company
was renamed SCHOTT Solar GmbH where he is Member of the Management
Committee. |
|
He
is currently Member of the Board of the European Photovoltaic
Industry Association (EPIA), President of the German Solar
Economy Association (BSW) and member of the Scientific Board
of Fraunhofer institute of solar energy (FhG-ISE) and the
institute of solar energy research in Hameln (ISFH). |

Tokuyama
Corporation. Tokuyama traces its roots back to 1918, when
it began producing soda ash (sodium carbonate), one of the
basic materials in various industries.
While adding various chemicals to our product lineup, we have
grown to incorporate a broad array of businesses ranging from
organic and inorganic chemicals to plastics, cement/building
materials, electronics materials, and medical field too. In
this way, Tokuyama has continued to serve industry and market
for more than 85 years. |
One
of the key materials is polysilicon. Tokuyama started commercial
production in 1984 and has been taking steps to expend the
capacity.
The current capacity is 5200tons per year and Tokuyama is
now one of the world¡¦s largest manufacturers of silicon. |

About
E-TON |
Since
the Industrial Revolution, over-exploitation of conventional
fossil-fuel energy has depleted resources and created severe
pollution. The rapid progress of civilization has threatened
to ruin our world. Developing renewable energy sources with
low pollution is now a top priority for mankind.
Being aware of these problems, E-Ton Solar is committed to
providing the world a sustainable, environment-friendly, and
affordable energy solution by converting sunlight into electricity.
Being a member of the PV community, E-Ton Solar shall exert
its effort to grow rapidly and profitably by continuous investment
in R&D, and production of PV products and applications
not only to contribute to the growth of the PV industry but
also to fulfill the prospects of its shareholders. E-Ton Solar
shall grow for the future of coming generations by devoting
itself to pollution-free solar energy.
E-Ton Solar was incorporated in October, 2002 starting with
a cell production capacity of 8MW per annum. After completion
of the 2nd production line in the Q2 of 2005, the production
capacity reached 28MW. The third production line will complete
in June 2006, the total capacity will add to 53MW. Then the
capacity will soon become 78MW by the end of 2006. By 2008,
E-Ton will boost its production capacity up to 200MW to become
one of the leading solar cell manufacturers in the world.
E-Ton Solar specializes in the R&D and production of crystalline
silicon solar cells. Its monocrystalline solar cell with the
average conversion efficiency of more than 17% is one of the
highest efficiency cells commercially available in the world.
Moreover, by introducing an advanced anti-reflection coating
technology, its cells have excellent spectral response even
in short wavelength. In addition, the SiNx anti-reflection
coating comes in three ideal and aesthetically uniformed colors
¡V deep blue, deep brown, and deep purple. What is most impressive
is that after the module encapsulation process, the color
of cells becomes dark when viewed from different angles, which
means the light is perfectly absorbed by the cells to emit
incredible high conversion efficiency.
Sharing the same view with the 141 countries that ratified
the Kyoto Protocol to discharge the greenhouse effect, E-Ton
Solar will continue to develop solar cell technology as a
renewable energy source and pass down its environmental protection
belief to our future generations. We believe we can contribute
to achieving the goal of having a new world powered by renewable
green energy. |

Q-Cells
AG, based in Thalheim, Germany, which was founded in late
1999, started production in July 2001 with only 19 employees.
The market launch began with the first signification investment:
a 12-megawatt peak (MWp) plant for the production of polycrystalline
silicon wafer-based solar cells.
It was a success:
With a clear strategy and a resolute implementation on the
part of the company¡¦s experienced managers, Q-Cells has been
able to gain a place among the top five of the world¡¦s largest
solar cell manufacturers in less than five years. Today Q-Cells
is the largest independent manufacturer in the world specialising
in solar cell production in the value-creation chain and is
now the world¡¦s second largest producer of solar cells.
Within a short time, Q-Cells has been able to create over
800 jobs in a structurally weak region in Eastern Germany.
With additional partnerships in technological companies, Q-Cells
AG is solidifying its position as one of the leading technology
concerns in the field of solar cell manufacturing.
Q-Cells supplies independent PV module producers worldwide,
with the most important markets being Germany, Southern Europe,
North America and East and Southeast Asia. In 2005 the export
ratio was 36.8 %.
By establishing Q-Cells Asia Limited in Hong Kong at the end
of 2005, Q-Cells is strengthening its presence in the strategically
important, fast-growing Asian market. The branch is responsible
for all of East and Southeast Asia as well as the Indian subcontinent. |

In
1912, Founder, Mr. Tokuji Hayakawa, was awarded a patent for
the "Tokubijo" snap buckle and he established a
small metalworking shop in Tokyo. In 1915, he invented a mechanical
pencil named the "Ever-Sharp Pencil" that took the
world by storm. The name of the company today and its trademark
are derived from this product. In May, 1935, the structure
of the company was modified to become a joint-stock corporation
under the name Hayakawa Metal Works Institute Co.

SYSTEM AS ONE OF THE NEXT GENERATION ENERGY RESOUECE |

Presentation
Outlines |
Tremendously
large demand for photovoltaic (PV) electricity is expected
as next generation energy resource not only to supply electricity
demand but also to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases.
Among a lot of technologies, crystalline silicon PV technology
dominates at the moment. According to the statistics of Japanese
Photovoltaic Energy Association (JPEA), the total shipment
of PV cells and modules in Japan reaches 819 Megawatt peak
in 2005. However, such rapid growth of PV industry consumes
solar grade silicon feed stock. The estimate of silicon exceeds
8000 metallic tons. Silicon will be definitely in short of
supply in 2006 and a newer production needs lead time of a
few years.
This presentation will explain the state of the art of PV
industry, PV technologies and the needs of launching another
technology such as Microcrystalline (Nano-crystalline Film)
PV cells. |
