Information As
Of July 31, 2006 |
''A major convergence
of factors is spurring rapid growth in the solar energy
industry. With worldwide energy demand increasing, fossil fuel
reserves in limited supply, emissions taking their toll on the
environment, governments recognizing the advantages of solar
power, and record-breaking fuel prices creating entirely new
economies of scale, solar energy is beginning to realize its
potential as a clean, renewable, economically viable power
source."
OverviewSolar EnerTech Corp.
is involved in the manufacturing of photovoltaic (PV) solar
cells and developing designs for PV modules, which are used
to convert sunlight into electricity. The Company primarily
targets the European and the U.S. markets.
Investment Highlights
-
The solar energy industry is growing rapidly as energy
prices worldwide continue to rise and solar power systems
become more affordable.
-
The global PV solar industry is expected to reach $9.9
billion this year.
-
In April the US Department of Energy released details of
the President's Solar America Initiative proposing the
largest funding increase for solar energy research in US
budget history. The proposed FY 2007 budget for the
initiative is $148 million, a 78% increase, which includes
$139 million for PV and $9 million for concentrating solar
power.
-
The rising demand for solar cells and panels worldwide
continues to outpace production.
-
Solar EnerTech sponsored the recent Energy Round Table in
Beijing with California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and
established consensus with the state government for future
involvement in California's solar programs.
-
The company is constructing a state-of-the-art
manufacturing and research facility in China and operates
a marketing, purchasing and distribution arm in Southern
California.
-
SOEN has assembled a world class team of solar industry
experts and distinguished scientists to lead production,
sales and R&D.
-
The cost differential between solar and conventional
energy sources is narrowing—the average price of PV cells
and modules has decreased by 24% from 1996 to 2003 and is
expected to continue to decrease as the result of
improvements in process technologies and economies of
scale.
-
A decline in manufacturing costs of PV cells, government
support of solar energy and increasing fossil fuel costs
are spurring solar growth. A hurdle facing the industry is
a shortage of and corresponding price hike in silicon
materials used to make cells. SOEN is focused on
addressing this need via its breakthrough R&D into silicon
alternatives.
-
A truly green technology, solar energy consumes no fuel
and produces no air, water or noise pollution.
Product
Solar EnerTech Corp. manufactures quality solar cells and
state-of-the-art solar applications, and establish a
research program aimed at developing increased efficiency
solar cells. Based in Shanghai, China, Solar EnerTech has
established a sophisticated 42,000 square foot manufacturing
and research facility in Shanghai's Jinqiao Modern Science
and Technology Park—a newly dedicated high tech business
park in the largest economic and transportation center of
China.
Solar EnerTech will invest in photovoltaic cell research
to develop higher efficiency cells—and put the results of
that research to use right away in the company's
manufacturing processes. Led by one of the industry's top
scientists, the company's R&D program will work towards
bringing Solar EnerTech to the forefront of advanced solar
technology research and production.
Solar Basics
Solar cells convert sunlight into electricity and are
made of semiconducting materials, such as silicon. When
sunlight is absorbed by these materials, the solar energy
knocks electrons loose from their atoms, allowing the
electrons to flow through the material to produce
electricity. This process of converting light—photons—to
electricity—voltage—is called the photovoltaic effect.
Solar EnerTech's solar cells will meet a high market
demand from businesses specializing in PV applications such
as solar panels, modules and arrays. These products and
systems will be used to help power homes and businesses in
Europe, North America and beyond.
Advantages of Solar Energy
• Matching peak time output with peak time demand. Solar
energy can supplement electricity supply from an electricity
transmission grid, becoming especially effective during
electricity demand peaks in the summer.
• Reliability. Accelerated aging tests have shown that PV
systems can operate for 30 years or more without the need
for major maintenance, other than the occasional cleaning of
the PV module surface.
• Modularity and scalability. The size and the generating
capacity of a PV system are a function of the number of PV
modules installed—applications are readily scalable and
versatile.
• Dual usage. PV modules are increasingly used to serve
as both a power generator and as the exterior of a building.
Like architectural glass, PV modules can be installed on the
roofs and facades of residential and commercial buildings.
Markets
The Company is developing its manufacturing facility in
Shanghai--the largest economic and transportation centre of
China. The 42,000 square foot manufacturing facility is
located in the Jinqiao Modern Science and Technology Park, a
newly dedicated high tech business park.
By establishing this state-of-the-art manufacturing
facility in Shanghai, Solar EnerTech will benefit from
China's favorable policies and cost-effective labor force to
produce quality solar cells and systems for global
applications.
The primary solar market is currently in Europe, where
significant government incentive programs are helping fuel
high demand for solar products. Solar EnerTech's secondary
market is the United States, where California has launched
an ambitious One Million Solar Roof incentive program for
residences and businesses.
With an American marketing and sales arm already in
place, Solar EnerTech is well-positioned to meet market
demand from its Chinese manufacturing base.
Solar EnerTech has also established a marketing,
purchasing and distribution arm in the Silicon Valley region
of Northern California. Demand for solar electric energy has
consistently grown by 20-25% per year over the past 20
years. This growth has occurred against a backdrop of
rapidly declining costs and prices due to increased
efficiency of solar cells and improvements in manufacturing
technology.
The photovoltaic solar industry now generates over US$3-4
billion globally, including the sale and installation of
solar energy systems. In a time of skyrocketing fuel costs
and increased pollution from fossil fuels, solar energy is
receiving renewed government, business and homeowner support
as a viable alternative energy source.
