Can Independent Intellectual Property Rights Eliminate PV Dilemmas

Can Independent Intellectual Property Rights Eliminate PV Dilemmas “Relying on independent intellectual property rights is one of the fundamental approaches to self-rescue.” Experts believe that in the face of the hazy future, China's PV companies can only profoundly reflect on the unfavorable situation in which many core technologies and product sales are “two outside” in the rapid development of industry in recent years. , And relying on independent innovation to completely change this situation, will gradually strengthen the market competitiveness and usher in the spring of industrial development.

The industrial dilemma has a long history

Since 2008, the output of China's photovoltaic industry has been ranked first in the world for five consecutive years, and its products have occupied more than half of the European market. In 2012, China's exports of solar photovoltaic products to Europe amounted to US$11.19 billion. Although it accounted for nearly half of China’s total export volume of PV products of US$23.3 billion, it was down by 45% year-on-year. "Many companies lack independent intellectual property rights and their foundations are not solid enough. The result is that the market is vulnerable if it has any signs of trouble."

An expert from the China Renewable Energy Society’s Photovoltaic Committee analyzed the decline in exports and recently sharply pointed out that Suntech was the world’s largest PV module manufacturer when the bankruptcy and restructuring of Suntech Solar Power Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Suntech) went bankrupt. However, nearly 80% of its patents are utility model patents and design patents. Most of them are peripheral patents and lack high-quality invention patents. As a result, their patent structure is unreasonable, which directly affects the market competitiveness of enterprises and becomes the ultimate One of the important reasons for the decline in efficiency and bankruptcy reorganization.

From the patent situation report of the photovoltaic industry released by the State Intellectual Property Office, it can be seen that the patent applications of the United States and Europe to China are mostly concentrated in the field of material manufacturing and battery chips in the upstream and middle reaches of the industry. Most of them are invention patent applications and have strong technical strength. , In the upper reaches of the photovoltaic industry chain has occupied the first-mover advantage. In contrast, China's photovoltaic industry started relatively late. The patent applications of domestic applicants mainly involve the downstream technologies of the industrial chain. Most of them are utility model patents and design patents, and there are few patents for inventions, but they have comparative advantages in power generation systems and their applications. .

The reality of the development of the domestic photovoltaic industry also confirms the above report. In recent years, the scale of China's photovoltaic industry has expanded rapidly, and the scale of end product production ranks among the top in the world. It is a well-deserved “photovoltaic powerhouse”, but intellectual property rights with core technologies are mostly in the hands of foreign companies. For example, at the beginning of the establishment of Suntech in 2001, almost all of the core technologies relied on were from foreign patent licenses, and there has been no major breakthrough in core technology research and development. Industry experts analyze that in the market competition of photovoltaic industry, whether it is adopting new materials, new technologies or reducing production costs, from the photovoltaic industry chain structure, market demand structure, industrial structure to production costs and other aspects, all have intellectual property rights Strong reliance on companies that do not have core technological intellectual property means that they are inherently in short supply and are struggling.

Intellectual property breaks the deadlock

"Regardless of the reasons, Chinese PV companies should speed up the pace of technological progress and win the market competition initiative with independent intellectual property rights." The head of Hainan Yingli New Energy Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Hainan Yingli) represents many domestic The voice of photovoltaic companies. They believe that in the face of various unfavorable factors, photovoltaic companies must survive and develop in the fierce market competition, and seeking breakthroughs in core technologies is a road to self-help.

In recent years, Hainan Yingli, which has always attached importance to the implementation of its patent strategy, has had 68 patents, of which 25% are invention patents, in less than 4 years since it was built. Almost all of these patents have been applied to the company's products. Compared with their counterparts, they all excel in energy conversion efficiency, product variety, and specialty products. At the same time, Hainan Yingli improved its production process with patents, which increased production efficiency and reduced production costs. The company's "3 MW polycrystalline silicon solar cell and application system demonstration project" based on independent research and development also fills the gap in the state's commercial production of polycrystalline silicon solar cells.

In the past two years, under the unfavorable circumstances of global PV industry turbulence, the intensification of the European debt crisis and the US “double reverse” investigation, Hainan Yingli responds positively to the advantages of technology and complete industrial chain formed by independent intellectual property rights, and the company’s PV module sales. The amount has remained ahead.

“Regardless of whether it is for export or domestic sales, paying attention to intellectual property rights is undoubtedly the way for companies to survive.” Experts from the Photovoltaic Committee of the Chinese Renewable Energy Society stated that external pressures are forcing companies to quickly move to the high end of the industry chain, and the demand in the domestic market also needs to be high. Horizontal, low-cost products.

In fact, China's photovoltaic industry policies introduced in recent years all point to the development of core technologies for independent intellectual property rights. In September 2012, the National Energy Administration issued a notice requiring local governments to declare the application of distributed photovoltaic power generation scale demonstration zones; at the end of October of that year, the State Grid officially released the “Opinions of the State Grid on Supporting the Grid-Connected Operation of Photovoltaic Power Generation”; In the month, the State Council Executive Meeting decided to determine the policies and measures to promote the healthy development of the photovoltaic industry. All of these policies will focus on the development of the photovoltaic industry with independent intellectual property rights.

According to the goal set by China's “12th Five-Year Plan” for energy, by 2015, China’s solar power generation will reach 15 GW, which is currently less than half. "Whether it is for the sake of responding to external resistance or adapting to the domestic development situation, it is imperative to increase the technological research and development of independent intellectual property rights, and to make our country realize the transition from a 'big-PV country' to a 'photovoltaic power', and that is the future. The choice of light," said Shi Dingyi, president of the China Renewable Energy Society.

Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), organic compounds that contain fluorine and hydrogen atoms,
are the most common type of organofluorine compounds. They are commonly used in air conditioning and as Refrigerants [4] in place of the older chlorofluorocarbons such as R-12 and hydrochlorofluorocarbons such as R-21. They do not harm the ozone layer as much as the compounds they replace; however, they do contribute to global warming. Their atmospheric concentrations and contribution to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions are rapidly increasing, causing international concern about their radiative forcing.
Fluorocarbons with few C-F bonds behave similarly to the parent Hydrocarbons, but their reactivity can be altered significantly. For example, both uracil and 5-fluorouracil are colourless, high-melting crystalline solids, but the latter is a potent anti-cancer drug. The use of the C-F bond in pharmaceuticals is predicated on this altered reactivity.[5] Several drugs and agrochemicals contain only one fluorine center or one trifluoromethyl group.
