November 2 to 4, the Ninth China International New Energy Conference and Exhibition (hereinafter referred to as' Wuxi New Energy Conference ') was held in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, long time no appearance in the photovoltaic industry legend' Shi Zhengrong also this At the General Assembly, I participated in the "talk show" of the leader of the new energy industry in the conference. This time, Dr. Shi Zhengrong's status is 'back to basics': an academician of the Australian Academy of Engineering and a professor of the University of New South Wales.
Since its establishment in 2001, Shi has been changing its position for more than 10 years due to one reason or another. Suntech CEO, China PV First Persons, billionaire, PV Godfather, on the verge of bankruptcy ... ... These are all Shi Zhengrong's 'names.' However, Shi Zhengrong, who returned to Wuxi's public field this time, is not as unbearable as people think after having experienced the 'valley bottom'.
'He looks very free and easy, the whole person refreshed, the mentality should be good.' One and Shi Zhengrong photovoltaic company CEOs so told reporters.
'I remember when I first returned home in 2001, there were too few people who knew the PV, but now the term' PV 'is almost a household name. "In the talk show, Shi said the current situation is a gathering of companies in the photovoltaic industry The efforts of home, scientists and management engineers also benefit from the leadership and support of leaders at all levels.
Shi Zhengrong said that five years ago, the PV industry in China was facing more difficulties than it is today and even accused of "leaving pollution in the country and selling green electricity abroad." Shi Zhengrong said that this is actually a misunderstanding.
'In the past five years, the domestic PV industry has made tremendous progress and is well accepted both at home and abroad. Hopefully the banks will also erase all the misunderstandings they suspected. This industry ushers in a new spring. It should be said that now the industry has moved from a young age to Youth development Shi Zhengrong said that in the future photovoltaic industry will be at an extraordinary pace of development.
Shi Zhengrong also said that with the improvement of people's living standard and the reduction of the cost of photovoltaic power generation, people's demand for photovoltaic products will also rise from the most basic state to a more upscale and more aesthetically pleasing state. For example, more attention is paid to the appearance and color of photovoltaic products , How much power generation costs, relatively speaking, will be ignored.
'If the backyard roof was fitted with PV, I sold it when the electricity price was high and I bought it when the electricity price was cheap. Now an energy management and trading product, both domestic and foreign start-up companies are now engaged in the development of technology. In the near future , So new companies and models will emerge. "Turning to the future, Shih Jung-rong throws out a concept of" virtual grid. "
An interesting detail is that at the beginning of the talk show, Shi said: "We all grow old, and the baton has spread to the hands of young people, so take some time to enjoy the joy of life." It is also not hard to understand why the man who once stood at the very top of the photovoltaic industry emerged again as a pure academic after experiencing all these past experiences.
Dr. Shi has made a great contribution to this industry. After all, he is a pioneer in this industry and hopes he can bring more surprises to us in the future, "said one photovoltaic industry person attending Wuxi New Energy Conference.
