    On the morning of May 24, Zhao Nancheng, president of Samsung SDI, a subsidiary of Samsung Group, announced that the Wuxi plant in China, which is used to produce PV Paste, the core material for solar cells, will be officially put into operation
    in June.

    In layman's terms, Paste is coated on the surface of solar cells in the shape of a thin checkerboard, which plays the role
    of converting solar energy into cells and making them move.
    If the battery is compared to the "leaf" that performs photosynthesis, then Paste is the electrode material
    that plays the role of "leaf vein".
    According to Paste's characteristics, the degree of conversion of solar energy received by solar cells into electricity varies, so it is one of the
    core materials of solar cells.

    It is reported that in September 2015, Samsung SDI Wuxi factory polarized film production line and Paste production line started at the same time, of which the recently completed Paste production line has begun production, first at a scale of 40 tons per month, in the future plan to expand to 100 tons
    per month.

    Based on its global market-leading PDP electrode material technology, Samsung SDI has entered the Paste field for solar cells since 2010, and in just six years, it has achieved the world's
    largest market share of solar cells, the Chinese market.
    Samsung SDI plans to expand its market
    this year to Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand, Malaysia and India, where the solar industry has recently grown rapidly, with its production base in China and new products.

    In this regard, Song Changlong, director of Samsung SDI's Electronic Materials Business Unit, said: "The launch of the Wuxi plant and the launch of new products for high-power solar cells will improve the market responsiveness of Samsung SDI
    .
    With this, Samsung SDI plans to develop into a true market leader
    in the global solar market.

    It is reported that Samsung SDI also participated in the International Solar Energy and Green Building Application (Shanghai) Exhibition and Forum (SNEC PV Power Expo 2016) held in Shanghai on the 24th~26th, and released the new solar Paste product "8800 Series"
    .

    As the world's largest exhibition for the solar cell industry, major solar companies such as Hanwha Q CELLS, Trina Solar, and YingliSolar have exhibited new products and technologies
    in related industries such as solar cell manufacturing equipment, manufacturing technology, and materials.

    The "8800 Series" unveiled by Samsung SDI at this exhibition is a product
    that converts solar energy into electricity more efficiently.
    The conversion rate of solar cells currently under development is 18~20%, and the industry has been promoting technology research and development
    to improve the conversion rate.
    In recent years, the original multicrystallization method has gradually changed to the single crystal and PERC method with high efficiency, and the "8800 Series" has the advantage
    of being suitable for both the original method and the new method.

    New Energy Finance, a market research agency, predicts that the global solar market will grow from 56GW in 2015 to 85GW by 2020, with an average annual growth rate of more than 9%.

    It is expected that the core materials of solar cells - polysilicon, PV Paste and other materials market will also continue to expand
    .
