Solar panel manufacturers Solyndra was 600,000,000 U.S. dollars venture capital
OneMarket dining restaurant in the financial community are talking, voices, so I am sure that the Qing heard Solyndra Ronai CEO Chris (Chris Gronet) said its "underground" solar energy start-ups of the amount of financing. So I asked: "You are talking about 60,000,000 U.S. dollars, is not it?"
"600,000,000 U.S. dollars." He replied.

In view of the solar panel manufacturers Solyndra the past three years has been "underground" mode of operation, it was not until Tuesday debuted for the first time, so the money is not the only Solyndra revealed a huge amount of financing. The company is headquartered in Fremont, California, which is responsible for marketing and business development vice president James Truman (Kelly Truman), said: "We have 1.2 billion dollars of orders."
The "underground" is a new start-up companies in Silicon Valley model, where both the young tycoon Web2.0 as well as their stock options turned to the secretary of millionaires. However, in recent years may not have any Solyndra as a company, employs more than 500 employees, built the most advanced thin-film solar panel factory (from the Silicon Valley's busiest highway will be able to see at a glance), and apart from a few determined Progressive environmental protection industry blog, it does not cause too much concern.
Thin film solar panels has become the Holy Grail of Silicon Valley. Close to the financing of 500,000,000 U.S. dollars more than Nanosolar, and other well-known start-ups active in the competition, hopes to launch the first in the market of copper indium gallium selenide solar energy (CIGS) cells. Copper indium gallium selenide solar cells can be printed on glass or flexible materials without the use of expensive silicon materials. While this cell will convert solar energy into electrical energy efficiency of low, but its production costs are expected to be much lower than traditional silicon-based components of production 247050-001 , 247051-001 , 250848-B25 , 261449-001 , 281668-B25 , 291693-001 , 293343-B25 , 301956-001 , 302119-001 , 319411-001 , 336962-001 , 337607-001 , 337607-002 , PP2061E costs. (FirstSolar such as thin film solar cells also received financial support of the Walton family, but these companies are using more technology obsolete.)
So why can Solyndra this blockbuster? This is because its plant 365 days a year, 24 hours a day to keep running, and the company 1,000,000,000 U.S. dollars worth of business orders. Solyndra have been the reason why "underground" operation, has been able to successfully attract investors and customers, thanks to Harry S. Truman stand beside a rocket launcher the size of cylindrical objects. He took out from a long, black glass, black glass because it has a coating of solar cells.
Ge Luonai CEO, said cylindrical shape is a key issue. Traditional solar panels on the roof must be inclined to place in order to direct absorption of sunlight, because the battery plate will be very difficult for scattered light is converted to electrical energy; and Solyndra of cylindrical Presario X1000 , Presario X1001US , Presario X1002US , Armada E500 , Armada E500S , Armada M700 ,Armada V300 , Armada V500 , Business Notebook nc6000 ,Business Notebook nc8000 , EVO N100 , Evo N1000C ,Evo N1000V , Evo N1015V , Evo N1020V ,Evo N105 , Evo N115 , Evo N160 ,EVO N400 , EVO N400c , EVO N410 ,EVO N410c , Evo N600 , Evo N600C ,Evo N610C , Evo N610V , Evo N620C ,PP2060 , PP2100 , PP2200 ,Presario 1400 , Presario 14XL455 , Presario 1500 ,Presario 1500 Series , Presario 1500AP , Presario 1500SC ,Presario 1500US , Presario 1501CL battery plate components can be absorbed from all angles into the sun, including the roof The reflection of light. In this way, by the 40 components of the battery will be able to board level on the roof of the business, but also to many of the battery plate tightly together to maximize the use of roof space power.
Ge Luonai said: "Our products will cover an area of the roof of a traditional solar panels 2 times, and time to install only one-third of the traditional products." Childish 46-year-old Ge Luonai this year, he has a Stanford University Semiconductor processing doctorate in May 2005 before the establishment of Solyndra in the chip equipment maker Applied Materials (Applied Materials) worked for 11 years.
Because the air flow between the battery plate, so the battery plate has so far maintained a relatively low temperature without the need to withstand strong winds and sticky in the roof. This means that only the installation of officers caught chassis, such as high-play toys as they can be fitted with solar panels.
Europe to install giant solar Phoenix Solar's chief technology officer Manfred Bachler (Manfred Bachler), said in a statement: "The level of the roof of the business, this is a technical change in the rules of the game."
Solyndra goal is to cover 30,000,000,000 square feet of the giant U.S. retail stores, as well as other levels of the roof of the building space, according to Navigant Consulting estimates that this is a 650,000,000,000 U.S. dollars worth of the potential of solar energy market. The emerging business model is a developer of solar energy financing, installation and operation of a number of commercial solar power generation system, followed by the sale of electricity to the roof of the owner. Solyndra of business is to provide for the installation of solar panels, this market crowded with companies including SunPower, and Suntech's competitors.
Company 600,000,000 U.S. dollars in financing will be used for the construction of a large part of the 300,000 square feet of solar energy plant. Ge Luonai Truman and for me to play for a video, showing the highly automated factories, including automatic assembly line and in the process of moving the production of solar energy components of the automatic loading vehicles.
The factory can produce about 110 megawatts per year of the scale of solar cells. Factories have been to a number of large customers, such as the United States and Germany SolarPower provide PhoenixSolar battery plates. Company 1,200,000,000 U.S. dollars in three-quarters of orders from European companies. Solyndra are waiting for the approval of the establishment of Fremont in the second 420-megawatt plant scale. Factory built at a time when, Solyndra will become North America's largest solar cell manufacturers. (Geluo Nai said the company's third factory will be built in Europe, Asia or the Middle East.)
This helps Solyndra attracted a long list of investors, including CMEA, USVenturePartners such as the Silicon Valley venture capital firm, as well as MadroneCapital - Walton family of private equity funds, Masdar - will be aimed at the oil-rich emirate into a green power technology Abu Dhabi Company. Another high-profile investor is Richard Branson's Virgin (Virgin) Green Fund.
Virgin Green Fund Partners, Solyndra members of the board of directors Anup Jacob (Anup Jacob) said: "We inspected 117 solar energy companies, two of the final invested, including Presario 1501LA ,Presario 1502 , Presario 1502SC , Presario 1503AP ,Presario 1505US , Presario 1506TC , Presario 1508AP ,Presario 1508SP , Presario 1508TC , Presario 1509AP ,Presario 1510CA Solyndra. Ronai Chris And Applied Materials from out of the team, indeed the Silicon Valley in the recruitment of the best and the brightest talent. They are great scientists and practitioners. "
Jacob said that Virgin hired a Stanford University scientists Solyndra of the technical assessment, engineering firm hired to review its solar cell factory. He said: "Because we are investors in the late, we are able to look at all the company's major competitors. Although a lot of rich solar energy companies have also made more ambitious project, but had failed to materialize."
Virgin concluded, Solyndra to fulfill promises to improve the competitiveness of solar energy, electric power and traditional competition. He said: "As the owner of the roof, you must pay attention to is the cheapest price from the roof of the number of available electricity."
He also added: one of the challenges is no reference to Solyndra. "I have to tell you that these people like Richard Branson talking about his own doing, so to meet Solyndra hope that the silence of the need to make a great effort."
