JA Solar签订3年供应协议，Innovalight供应硅墨水技术，用于生产JA Solar近期推出的SECIUM高效太阳能电池。
由Innovalight 所研发的硅墨水技术，已通过美国能源部及德国 ISE 测试，光电转换效率可达 18%。JA Solar将会采用这项新技术，利用现有的太阳能电池生产线制造价格更便宜、转换效能更高的太阳能电池。！
JA Solar Holdings Co., Ltd. today announced that it has signed strategic agreements with Innovalight, Inc.
JA Solar signed a three-year supply agreement for silicon nanoparticle ink from Innovalight for the production of JA Solar's recently announced SECIUM high efficiency solar cells. Pilot production of the SECIUM cells began in May with commercial volume production planned in the second half of 2010.
JA Solar has achieved conversion efficiency of 18.9 percent for its SECIUM solar cells and these results have been independently certified by The Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) in Germany. The new cost effective, high efficiency solar cells enable substantially better spectral response at short wavelengths in comparison with standard solar cells and therefore have higher conversion efficiency than conventional solar cells from other manufacturers.
JA Solar and Innovalight also announced that they have signed a strategic agreement to co-develop solar cells with conversion efficiencies exceeding 20 percent. Development will be performed at both Innovalight's headquarters in California and at JA Solar's R&D center in China.
"We are very excited about the strong partnership we have established with Innovalight," said Dr. Peng Fang, chief executive officer at JA Solar. "JA Solar will continue to stay at the forefront of solar cell technology and commercial production of high-efficiency solar cells through partnerships between our internal R&D group and external partners like Innovalight," he added.
Innovalight manufactures a proprietary nanotechnology-based silicon ink and licenses a proprietary platform process which allows a simple upgrade to solar cell manufacturing production lines to boost performance of solar cells and lower production costs.
"JA Solar is a world leader in solar cell production and a pioneer in advancing solar technology," said Conrad Burke, chief executive officer at Innovalight. "I am delighted with this long-term commercial agreement as well as our plans to jointly develop new products," he added.
