NANJING, Sept. 16 (Xinhua) -- Photovoltaic companies in Yangzhong have been dedicated to technology research and development in the last decade since the introduction of the photovoltaic industry to Yangzhong to the recently launched new flexible photovoltaic module project, said Pan Zaoyun, Party Secretary of Yangzhong city.
“As an island city, Yangzhong has paid close attention to green development,” said Pan during the International Green Energy Development Conference held in Yangzhong, Jiangsu Province, on September 16.
Pan disclosed that technology and products of companies such as Daqo Group and Huantai Group take a leading position in the industry. Yangzhong has established the first “Solar Power Photovoltaic Industrial Park” in Jiangsu Province.
Currently, there are 40 PV companies in Yangzhong, whose output reached 34.5 billion yuan in 2016 with total production of 1.25 billion silicon wafers, 500MW PV modules and 80,000 crucibles, according to Pan.
Meanwhile, expanding construction of distributed PV power station have enabled more and more organizations and individuals to enjoy “green power”; combination of fish farming and solar power generation realized coordinated development of agriculture and new energy; national policies such as the Belt and Road Initiative helped Yangzhong’s new energy industry spread to Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang and also countries like Kazakhstan, Pan added.
In recent years, the city has vigorously treated sewage, prevented floods, drained stagnant water, diverted running water and kept water clean, reduced coal consumption, cut excessive chemical production capacity and controlled air pollution. As a result, green elements represented by green energy application are secretly making their way into the life of Yangzhong people, Pan said. (Contributed by Yang Qi, kateqiyang@xinhua.org)
