The improvement of the industrial chain not only improves production efficiency, but also enhances the risk resistance of the photovoltaic industry.

 

 

 

1. Breakthrough in heterojunction technology Heterojunction technology combines the advantages of crystalline silicon cells and thin-film cells, with high conversion efficiency and good temperature coefficient. The G12-132 heterojunction module of JEC has a power of 727.69W, the maximum power of the double-glass module is 738.98W, and the conversion efficiency is 23.47% to 23.84%. Despite the challenges of high material costs and complex processes, its high efficiency and potential cost advantages make it an important direction for photovoltaic technology.

 

2. Prospects of perovskite technology Perovskite cells have attracted much attention due to their low cost and high efficiency. Jinshi's perovskite/hybrid BC four-terminal stacked solar cell has an efficiency of up to 33.94%, demonstrating the great potential of perovskite cells. Although its stability and durability issues have yet to be resolved, perovskite cells are expected to be widely used through continuous optimization of material structure and preparation process.

 

3. Technological progress in photovoltaic equipment The technological progress of photovoltaic equipment cannot be ignored either. JEC has comprehensively laid out TOPCon, HJT, IBC, perovskite and other technical routes, becoming a leading enterprise in the field of photovoltaic equipment. Jingshan Light Machinery completed the development of perovskite equipment earlier and has actual product sales, showing strong market competitiveness. Delong Laser's entire perovskite equipment has been delivered, and new process development and business communication with leading customers have been carried out to promote the commercialization of perovskite technology. Our Cap and Contact for Fast Acting EV Fuse can be adapted to various photovoltaic equipment, and can well support the heat dissipation and conductivity of photovoltaic equipment fuses.

Innovation of composite current collectors Composite current collectors are one of the emerging technologies in the photovoltaic industry, and 2024 is expected to usher in the first year of mass production in the industry. There are multiple technical routes coexisting in the field of composite current collectors. Different materials and process technologies have their own advantages and disadvantages. Companies from the equipment end to the material end are still in continuous exploration.

 

 

(I) Industrial robots

The application of photovoltaic technology in industrial robots is mainly reflected in energy supply and environmental adaptability. Using photovoltaic power generation to provide power for industrial robots not only reduces the consumption of traditional energy, but also improves the operating efficiency of equipment. For example, in a factory workshop with sufficient solar energy, by laying photovoltaic panels, a stable and clean power supply is provided for the robot, reducing dependence on the external power grid. In addition, the modular design of the photovoltaic power generation system can be flexibly expanded according to actual needs, providing a more flexible energy solution for industrial robots. The new energy copper cap and fuse knife can also be used in the internal fuse of industrial robots.

(II) Automated production line

The application of photovoltaic technology in automated production lines also has broad prospects. In some areas with good lighting conditions, photovoltaic power generation systems can directly provide power for automated production lines, reducing production costs. At the same time, through the integration of photovoltaic technology, energy self-sufficiency of the production line can be achieved, and the sustainability of production can be improved. For example, in some large manufacturing companies, by building photovoltaic power stations, clean electricity is provided for the entire production base, which not only achieves green production, but also reduces the energy expenditure of the enterprise. New energy copper cap and fuse link contact adopts automated production, which ensures that each product is more precise and of high quality.

(III) Intelligent warehousing and logistics

In the field of intelligent warehousing and logistics, the application of photovoltaic technology can effectively improve the independence and reliability of the system. For example, in large logistics parks, by building distributed photovoltaic power generation systems, power support can be provided for automated warehousing equipment, automatic guided vehicles (AGVs), etc., to ensure their normal operation under various conditions. At the same time, the application of photovoltaic power generation systems can reduce carbon emissions in the park and enhance the environmental image of enterprises.

 

(IV) Agricultural automation equipment

The application of photovoltaic technology in agricultural automation equipment has gradually shown great potential. In modern agriculture, automated equipment such as drones, automatic irrigation systems, and smart greenhouses are widely used, and these equipment often require a stable power supply. Through the application of photovoltaic technology, continuous and stable clean energy can be provided for these equipment. For example, in a smart greenhouse, by installing photovoltaic panels, power support is provided for the automated control system in the greenhouse to realize intelligent management of the greenhouse. New energy fuses can provide agricultural automation equipment with better corrosion resistance and safety through their high quality and high performance, and provide a guarantee for the stable and safe operation of the equipment.
