- The TI is concerned, what will bring business opportunities?
In the current inverter, power semiconductors for power conversion feature is particularly important. In the future, apart from power semiconductors, the power output of each module to optimize the control IC, as well as the delivery status of each module the importance of communications IC will also be increasing. The control IC and communications IC is our area of expertise.
In addition, in the future will also promote collaboration with the smart grid. We have also committed to smart grid areas, to make use of experiences in this regard.
- TI set up solar cell business, what kind of system?
We had also engaged in solar cell chip business. As a result, the use of existing solar inverter control IC, access to about 30% of the share. However, there was just one of many applications as solar cells.
May 2009 be configured to engineers responsible for solar cells established a working solar cell system. It also hired experts in solar cell technology. This is because the technology with customers to solve the problem, is very important. But also helps to understand the characteristics of a variety of solar cells on the difference. In the solar cell outside the field of technology experts, we have not yet configured.
- Please talk about the U.S. solar market conditions.
Currently, California is the U.S. demand for solar cells driving force. The state's 2009 annual import is about 350MW, equivalent to half of the entire United States. However, the next 2 ~ 3 years, the state's import volume growth is likely to decline. In 2009 increased 150% over the previous year, while in 2010 there is expected to be slow, with only a one-year increase of 75%. In addition, in 2011, is expected to further decline, only a 10% increase over the previous year. Under its influence, the overall U.S. import volume growth of solar cells will also be 2 ~ 3 years showed a downward trend.
