The German photovoltaics specialist IBC Solar, the world’s biggest solutions provider for solar-generated power by sales revenue and turnover, made its entry in the Chinese market by establishing an office in Beijing. “Although China has been a leading country in the manufacturing of solar cells and panels for power generation in the world, the domestic usage of solar power has just started,” said Udo Moehrstedt, Founder and CEO of IBC Solar. “We hope to provide our leading products and services to China, a country that generally relies on coal resources for traditional thermal power generation but that now attaches great importance to alternative energy. The energy from sunlight each hour on Earth equals the total power we use around the world in a year,” said Moehrstedt. The Chinese government said in its 12th Five Year Plan (2011-2015) that it aims to increase the nation’s current solar-energy generation capacity from 5 gigawatt to at least 10 GW in the next five years. According to IBC, China has been a major exporter of solar panels and modules, with 50% going to Germany. IBC Solar (China) Co recently signed a first agreement with China’s Building Integrated Photovoltaics Committee to provide consultancy and training.
