Que: Can you provide a brief history of Yingkou Jinchen Machinery and discuss the new horizons the company is exploring in the solar manufacturing industry?
Ans: Yingkou Jinchen Machinery Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Jinchen Machinery), specialized in the design, development, and production of solar panel manufacturing equipment. It was established in 1996 in Yingkou, China.
Since its establishment, Jinchen Machinery has focused on the research and development of photovoltaic assembly equipment. The company's founder, Yisheng Li, has more than 20 years of experience in the solar panel manufacturing industry. With his expertise and vision, he saw the potential for growth in the solar industry and decided to establish Jinchen Machinery.
In the early years, Jinchen Machinery mainly produced manual and semi-automatic solar panel production equipment. However, with the rapid development of the solar industry, the company quickly shifted its focus to fully automated production lines, which greatly increased the efficiency and productivity of solar panel manufacturing.
In 2009, Jinchen Machinery introduced advanced equipment and technology from Japan, Switzerland, and Germany, greatly improving the company's research and development capabilities. This allowed the company to develop more sophisticated and efficient solar panel manufacturing equipment.
By 2011, Jinchen Machinery had become a well-known brand in the solar industry, and its products were being exported to countries like Japan, Germany, India, and the United States. The company's success and reputation continued to grow, and in 2013, it was recognised as a 'High-tech Enterprise' by the Chinese government.
In recent years, Jinchen Machinery has continued to innovate and expand its product line to meet the changing needs of the solar market. In 2015, the company successfully developed a new type of solar panel assembly equipment with a fully automatic vacuum laminating function, which greatly improved the quality and efficiency of solar panel production.
By the end of 2024, Jinchen Machinery aims to become one of the top global suppliers of solar panel manufacturing equipment. The company plans to expand its product portfolio and enter new markets, including Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and North America. Additionally, Jinchen Machinery aims to develop more sustainable and energy-efficient equipment to support the growth of the solar industry and contribute to a greener future.
Que: Jinchen recently partnered with RenewSys for India's first 500 MW PERTOP Solar cell manufacturing line. How will your PECVD technology enhance this project?
Ans: The PECVD (Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapour Deposition) technology from Jinchen will greatly enhance the productivity and efficiency of the PERTOP solar cell manufacturing line in India.
PECVD technology is an essential process in the production of high-efficiency solar cells, as it enables the formation of high-quality silicon nitride and passivation layers on the solar cell surface. These layers help to reduce surface recombination, which is a major cause of solar cell efficiency loss. The PECVD technology from Jinchen is highly advanced and has been proven to deliver excellent results in terms of layer uniformity, stability, and low defect density.
By incorporating PECVD technology from Jinchen into the PERTOP manufacturing line, RenewSys will be able to produce high-quality solar cells with higher efficiencies and improved yield. This will not only make the solar cells more attractive in terms of performance but also enable cost reductions through increased productivity.
Overall, the partnership between Jinchen and RenewSys will bring together cutting-edge technology and expertise to create a highly advanced solar cell manufacturing line in India.
Que: What are Jinchen Machinery’s expectations from the REI Expo this year?
Ans: Jinchen Machinery expects to showcase its latest and innovative products and solutions at the REI Expo this year. We aim to showcase our commitment towards creating a sustainable future through our renewable energy solutions. We also hope to meet potential partners and customers to establish new business relationships and explore new opportunities. We are also looking forward to gaining insights into the latest industry trends and developments and engaging in fruitful discussions and knowledge-sharing sessions with other industry players. Overall, we hope to raise awareness about our brand and draw attention to our cutting-edge technologies and solutions at the REI Expo this year.
Que: With the growing market size, what are Jinchen Machinery’s plans for future expansion in India?
Ans: We will continue to pay attention to the Indian solar market and follow up on any advanced technology, focusing on stable quality, better performance, and higher cost performance. We believe that with the continuous improvement of technology and the increasing diversification of market demand, the Indian solar energy market still has tremendous development potential. We will actively participate in industry exhibitions and conferences, strengthen communication and cooperation with Indian clients, and continuously improve our products and services to better meet the needs of the Indian solar market. We also plan to invest in local production facilities and strengthen our after-sales service network in India to better serve our clients. Our goal is to become a leading supplier in the Indian solar market and contribute to the development of the local solar energy industry.
Que: What steps do you take to maintain high standards of quality control throughout the manufacturing process?
Ans: Without a doubt, Jinchen Machinery is committed to ensuring consistent, high-quality manufacturing throughout all processes.
Firstly, we have a strict quality control system in place, starting from the selection of raw materials. Our materials are carefully chosen to ensure they meet our standards for durability, strength, and performance.
Secondly, we have a team of experienced engineers and technicians who oversee the production process and conduct regular quality checks. This includes monitoring every step of the manufacturing process, from cutting and bending to welding and assembly.
Thirdly, we have invested in advanced testing equipment to ensure that each product meets or exceeds the required standards. This includes destructive and non-destructive testing methods such as tensile testing, impact testing, and X-ray inspection.
Finally, we have established a comprehensive quality management system that complies with ISO 9001 standards. This system helps us to monitor and improve our processes continuously, ensuring that our products consistently meet and exceed customer expectations.
Overall, our dedication to quality control ensures that every product manufactured by Jinchen Machinery meets the highest standards of quality, reliability, and performance.
