PHOTON's 8th PV Production Equipment Conference

   LATEST UPDATES ON INNOVATIONS FOR COST REDUCTION      

第八届PHOTON 生产设备大会

Conference outline 会议纲要:

Surprisingly, there has recently been a great deal of innovation in production equipment and processes for improving traditional bulk crystalline silicon technology at all steps of the value chain – from wafers and cells to modules. But there’s still a long way to go on the road to further cost reductions and higher efficiencies. Like previous versions of the conference, the 8th edition of PHOTON’s PV Production Equipment Conference will have speakers from leading equipment makers and research institutes, as well as from cell, wafer and module makers. The speakers will discuss the latest steps toward bringing PV to the next level. The PV Production Equipment Conference provides all the background information you need, giving you a knowledge advantage in a fast-changing market.

令人惊讶的是，最近有大量在生产设备和工艺方面的创新，从而提高了传统大宗晶硅技术 — 并涵盖了从硅片、电池到组件过程中的所有步骤。但要进一步降低成本和提高效率，却还有很长的一段路要走。如同以往的会议，第八届PHOTON光伏生产设备大会将邀请领先的设备生产商、研究机构、电池，硅片和组件制造商们中的代表做发言。这些发言者们将讨论如何把光伏的发展带入新阶段所采取的步骤。光伏设备制造大会将提供您需要的所有背景信息，让您在瞬息万变的市场上拥有专业知识的优势。

Topics covered 主题包括:

• Fundamentals on low-cost production of wafers, cells and modules 以低成本硅片、电池和组件的生产为基础
• The latest on equipment and materials used to crystallize and slice silicon ingots for the production of wafers 设备和应用材料的最新动态，用以在硅片生产中对硅锭进行结晶和切片处理
• Updates on processes, machines and automation for cell production 电池生产中工艺、机器设备和自动化技术的新动态
• How to cut costs for making crystalline silicon panels with new designs and different processing materials 如何用新设计和不同加工材料减少制造晶体硅板的成本
• Executive panel discussion 执行分组讨论

Target group 目标群体:
PHOTON’s PV Production Equipment Conference addresses executives and technology experts from wafer, cell and module manufacturers, research institutes, as well as representatives from other industries looking into setting up crystalline silicon production.

PHOTON光伏生产设备大会面向硅片、电池和组件生产商，研究机构中的高层管理人员及技术专家们。同时也针对有意涉足和建立晶硅生产的其他工业领域代表。
