Promotion project for added-value innovation in photovoltaic industry

Key achievements include:

1. We promoted 6 photovoltaic companies investing in Taiwan, the total investment in photovoltaic industry has reached NT$2.004 billion, it will increase NT$11.061 billion production value and create 420 new jobs. We promoted the development of large-sized, high-efficiency N-type solar cells and module technology, which will increase green energy generation. We also finished two carbon reduction pathway planning for photovoltaic companies and provided net-zero carbon consultation services. Total carbon reduction is 8,499.3 metric tons.

2. Cross-sector demonstration projects have been promoted, including on-site verification of the E-Cube mobile solar storage device. The "2024 Photovoltaic and Cross-Domain Building Integration Sharing Seminar" was held at the Kaohsiung Exhibition Center, with 40 participants. Case studies of domestic and international solar energy integration applications and demands were analyzed, and the research report on cross-domain integration and new product demands for photovoltaic industry is completed, which will serve as a reference for future strategic planning.

3. To provide low-carbon industry guidance, we completed two carbon reduction pathway plans. We provided total six improvement recommendations, including enhancements for air conditioning systems, air compressor systems, and rationalization of electricity contract capacity. We provided net-zero carbon consultation services to 4 companies. The "2024 Photovoltaic Enterprise Carbon Reduction Observation Seminar" was held with 36 participants. Experts from various fields were invited to share insights and exchange ideas on how industries can respond to carbon reduction trends, real-world cases, carbon verification practices, and net-zero carbon reduction strategies for photovoltaic companies.

4. To strengthen the industry foundation, 48 weekly PV industry reports were issued as policy references. The "2024 Solar Innovation Product Design Competition" was held, attracting 55 entries, with 5 award winners.

5. International marketing efforts included participation in the 2024 InterSolar Europe in Germany, promoting Taiwan's solar energy developments and innovations, with we meeting with 56 international buyers. The "2024 Solar System Integration Technology Seminar" was attended by 105 participants, discussing fault detection, high-efficiency products, and energy storage.
