R&D Achievements

• Since the R&D center is founded, more than 100 R&D projects were undertaken: 7 projects were funding supported by State, provincial or municipal government (6 projects were funding supported by provincial government and 1 by municipal government); 1 project obtains provincial Prize for Progress in Science and Technology, 1 obtains municipal Prize for Progress in Science and Technology; 2 projects were awarded “Provincial Key Product”. In addition, R&D center formulated 2 national standards of photovoltaic materials and applied for 61 patents (12 patents were approved).
• The Center has broken through many technical bottlenecks in PV technologies through hard working and innovating, has achieved fruitful results and significant awards, for example:
  1. 6 projects (such as “Solar Grade Polycrystalline Silicon Wafers”, “Solar Grade Polycrystalline Silicon Ingots”, “ Research on Raw Material Silicon with Good Performance of Filling Up and Preparation Method” and so on ) were highly appraised by provincial government，especially，the patent named “The recharging apparatus trial-manufacture of the DSS furnace” is awarded the excellent achievement prize of The Twelfth National Patent Awards, the municipal second prize of Technology & Science Advancement Prize of Xin Yu and municipal second prize of Xin Yu Patent Awards in 2010.
  2. 1 project was awarded the 3rd prize by provincial government.
  3. 2 projects (“Solar Grade Polycrystalline Silicon Wafers”, “Solar Grade Polycrystalline Silicon Ingots”) were awarded “Provincial Key Product”.
  4. Led the effort of establishing several national standards for PV Products (such as “Standards for Solar Grade Polycrystalline Silicon Wafers”, “Standards for Solar Grade Polycrystalline Silicon Ingots and so on).
  5. 61 Patents are under application, and 12 of them got granted.
