SEMI、Intersolar共建光伏展 单设设备材料区

SEMI日前宣布与Intersolar展会主办单位Solar Promotion GmbH、Freiburg Wirtschaft Touristik及Messe GmbH & Co. KG公司达成协议，2009年5月27-29日在德国慕尼黑举办的Intersolar展会将增设太阳能技术及制造部分。在该协议下，SEMI将负责开设一个独立的PV制造设备与材料展区，并组织光伏制造技术相关的研讨会。

据预计，2012年全球光伏市场将由130亿美元跃增至400亿美元。随着越来越多的新公司踏入此领域，业界开诊相关技术讲座及展会的数量也在增加。SEMI与Intersolar将创新组合将给光伏产业带来一定的市场影响力。在SEMI单独开设的展区内，观众将了解到其所关注的制造技术。

全球光伏产业的快速扩张，业界需要一个涵盖供应链各个方面具有影响力的展会，从而促成了SEMI与Intersolar的合作。

SEMI Europe总裁Heinz Kundert表示，光伏技术不仅代表着一种新能源，而且对环境及全球经济有着重大影响力。SEMI成员致力于提高能效降低成本，SEMI协会也采取积极措施满足成员需求推动行业技术的前进。

Intersolar是欧洲光电、太阳能热能和太阳能系统体系领域最大最专业的展会。


SEMI and Intersolar to Collaborate on Photovoltaic Innovation on a Global Scale

      New Exposition will be Held in Conjunction with Intersolar 2009

BRUSSELS, Belgium?12 June 2008?SEMI, the global industry association of companies providing equipment, material and services for the manufacture of semiconductors, displays, photovoltaic cells and related products; Solar Promotion GmbH and Freiburg Wirtschaft Touristik and Messe GmbH & Co. KG, organizers of Intersolar,  today announced an agreement that will expand the technology and manufacturing presence at Intersolar, the world’s largest solar energy exhibition, held at the New Messe Munich in Germany on May 27-29, 2009.  Under the agreement, SEMI will manage a hall dedicated to PV manufacturing equipment and materials, and will co-organize a manufacturing and technology conference and other meetings related to manufacturing.

The market for solar thermal and photovoltaic products, equipment, materials and services, is exploding worldwide with recent estimates projecting the PV market to grow from US$13 billion today to over $40 billion in 2012.  As many new players enter the market, there has been an increase in the number of technical conferences and exhibitions in the solar industry.  With this collaboration, SEMI and Intersolar are able to bring together the latest innovations in solar energy technologies from the entire value chain under one roof, resulting in increased efficiency and market impact.  Having a separate hall will allow visitors, looking for manufacturing technologies, to focus on their needs.  On the other hand the presence of all players will allow for cross-fertilization and benchmarking.

“Solar technologies are not only becoming a pervasive part of the new energy framework, but are of crucial importance to the sustainability of our environment and the global economy,” said Heinz Kundert, president of SEMI Europe.  “SEMI members are at the forefront of new developments to increase the efficiency and lower the cost of these technologies, and the association has active PV initiatives in place across every major manufacturing region in the world to effectively support member needs and ensure ongoing industrial and technological advancements.”

This agreement comes as a result of a rapid expansion of solar energy markets worldwide, and the need for a comprehensive exposition, which will address all aspects of the supply chain.   In addition to the European agreement, Intersolar and SEMI have partnered to bring Intersolar North America to the US through a co-location agreement with SEMICON West 2008 in July.

“Intersolar is an event of worldwide impact in an industry that is expected to more than triple in size by 2012,” said Markus Els?sser, Solar Promotions Chief Executive .  “By adding the SEMI membership’s vast technological and manufacturing expertise, as well as global reach to Intersolar, the event will only become more substantial, and pave the way for an exponentially greater penetration of
