Exclusive Interview With Mr. Ran Xu
- Please describe in brief about your company, directors, promoters, investors, its vision & mission
-As technology leader GSOLAR supplies world- leading level equipment for PV industry. We are committed to PV testing technologies and equipment for more than 16 years. Gsolar is a high-tech enterprise integrating research, design, production, sales and service. Gsolar holds the principle of “Integrity operation, Leading technology, Keep improving, Win-Win cooperation” is serving for more than 1300 solar module manufacturers, labs, universities as well as third metrology authorities across the world.
- Solar Trade Wars : What are the benefits to Indian manufacturers
-Gsolar tester could help solar module manufacturers to control solar module quality and improve production process to maximize the overall production yield and max bring commercial benefits for solar module manufacturers
- What are the trends in new manufacturing technology equipment, materials, processes, innovations etc – Long pulse duration, full spectrum wavelength will be the trends of solar simulator.
- Whats is your market share in the solar pv manufacturing market
-Gsolar is serving more than 1300 solar module manufacturers across the world, has NO 1 market share, top 10 solar module manufacturers all are using Gsola products, such as Trina Solar, JINKO Solar, GCL, HT SOLAR, LERRI solar, Hanergy and ect. In India area, Gsola is serving more than 46 customers, high reputation solar module manufactures, such as EMMVEE, ALPEX, TATA Power, HHV, GOLDI GREEN, BHEL, NAVITAS…all are using Gsola machine.
- What are the various technologies available for manufacturing and whats the advantage & disadvantage in the tech or equipment you offer ?
- Now, most of the solar modules in the market are still poly or mono crystalline modules. The application of PERC , HIT and other high capacitance or high efficiency solar cells also is increasing.
-Gsola machine has Many add-ons and retrofit options, as the PV technologies developing, Gsola machine could be upgraded to meet the novel testing requirements.
- Tecnhology Obsolesence : What solution you offer to your customers against possible future technology obsolescence when they buy your equipment
-Thanks to the modular principle, Gsola machine in general can easily be extended and updated to the latest state-of-the-art.
- Please present some examples of your equipment & technologies in India and worldwide and their performance
GSOLA has already provided nearly 1 GW automation in India. EMMVEE in Banglore is using Gsola 400MW automatic line + 200MW automation, HHV in Banglore is using Gsola 75MW automation, one extra 100MW automation will be set up in Apr 2016.
Gsola already provided 67 sets of solar simulator and 39 sets of EL Detector for Indian solar module manufacturers.
- What is the future of solar manufacturing technologies
-High capacitance and high efficiency
- India currently has around 1.2 GW Cell Manufacturing and 5GW of Module Manufacturing…..what is the opportunities, challenges in manufacturing in India
- In the next 2-3 years, Indian market needs will be huge, therefore, it is good chance for solar module manufacturers.
- How to reduce the production costs and how to quality control will be the biggest challenges
- Why India doesn’t have any wafer or polysilicon or ingots manufacturing ?
-Mainly for technologies reason.
- Present some technical article about your latest technologies
- What is the key competitive advantages for your customers who choose to buy your equipment and technology
- Modular principle, Gsola machine in general can easily be extended and updated to the latest state-of-the-art.
