Unlike other PV companies that only focus on results, SunPower has obviously made a lot of cosmetic improvements to its products.

Each solar panel is composed of 4*8 solar panels.

The solar sheet is a faint brownish-black, and the interval lines between the pieces are extremely light, and you can't see it at all if you don't pay attention to it, and it looks like a whole from a distance.

The frame of the board is elaborate crystal ivory white, and the frame is very slender and delicate, and multiple boards can be tightly fitted together.

On the whole, SunPower's solar panel phalanx is very technologically aesthetic.

Abner explains:

"A total of 1,000 square meters of solar squares have been laid out here. Because of the summer, we produced a total of 61,500 kilowatt-hours of electricity in the 50 days of the experiment, an average of 1,230 kilowatt-hours per day. In winter, it is estimated to drop to around 850 degrees. ”

Jiang Yuan frowned and asked:

"It's only 850 degrees in winter?"

Albert cried out:

"Mr. Jiang, the light is not good in winter, which is beyond the control of any enterprise. Our SunPower panels are already the most efficient, and other companies will definitely not be able to reach this value. Moreover, the average throughout the year can reach the standard of 1 kilowatt-hour of electricity per square meter!"

Jiang Yuan nodded lightly and did not speak, but he was secretly thinking in his heart:

This is different from what Li Qingyu reported to herself.

Logically speaking, Li Qingyu will not deceive herself in this kind of thing, so it must be that this guy in front of her has played a trick.

Calculated throughout the year, SunPower can indeed achieve an average of 1 kilowatt-hour per square meter per day, but there is an upper limit to the battery capacity in the contemplation area, how can it be possible to store the excess power in summer for winter?

This kind of average electricity per square meter per day is simply a gimmick!

Jiang Yuan continued to ask:

"What about the price, why is it suddenly going up so much?"

Abner immediately pretended to be aggrieved:

"We really can't control this, you know the current situation in China and the United States, huh...... It's not very friendly, we have been affected, the price of raw materials has suddenly increased by more than 50%! We have only increased the price by 30%, and this is because you are a big customer!"

Jiang Yuan scoffed at this statement.

Most of the raw materials needed by SunPower come from within the United States, and the cost will never skyrocket by half.

Judging from the data mastered by Zheng Yongwei, the board sold by SunPower to Shensi District is about 11,000 yuan per square meter on average to other large customers.

Before, it was indeed a discount to calculate 10,000 yuan for Shensi Ocean, but now that the price has risen, Shensi Ocean needs to spend 13,000 yuan to buy, which is higher than the price of other customers!

That's outrageous!

I've only heard that wholesale prices are discounted, but I've never seen the more you buy, the more expensive it gets!

Abner is also helpless, he did lie, the cost is increased, but only about 5%, far less than the 50% he said.

And SunPower doesn't actually want to raise prices, but it has to!

The reason is that its production capacity cannot keep up.

SunPower is the world's most technologically advanced PV company, but it is not the largest.

The largest is a subsidiary of Siemens.

At the same time, the United States is not the country with the best development of the photovoltaic industry, but China is.

Among the top 200 photovoltaic companies in the world, China accounts for 70.

Unfortunately, just like other technology industries in Huaguo, the technical level of Huaguo solar panels is only in the middle and lower position, far from meeting the technical requirements of the Shensi area, which forces Shensi Group to prefer SunPower's products.

However, SunPower's turnover in 2017 was only about $2 billion, while Deep Thinking District is asking for tens of billions of dollars in solar panels within two years.

This is significantly beyond their production capacity!

Of course, any company will only have one idea left when faced with a large order of tens of billions, take it!

So, after SunPower was sure that more than 95% of the people in the deep thinking area would choose their own products, they began to take the risk of expanding the plant without signing a contract.

As a result, SunPower's capital chain is tight, and it is still too reluctant to bear a large order of tens of billions of dollars with his size.

According to the unspoken rules of the solar industry, Shensi District will pay about 20% of the payment in advance within one month after signing the contract, which basically covers the capital cost of SunPower's construction of the new plant.

But this is not enough, SunPower must have enough cash flow to purchase raw materials, and at the same time, it must pay bonuses to key employees to negotiate such a large order.

After some calculations, SunPower decided that another $600 million in revenue would make the company more comfortable, so they raised the price.

In fact, Abner doesn't like this way, and there are many better ways to do it than to raise prices.

Such as borrowing money from a bank, such as continuing financing.

It is too easy to offend big customers when the price increase, even if they are now limited to technical problems and have to accept their own quotations, when they finally accept and get the final payment, they will never have good fruit to eat as a construction party!

It's a pity that the board doesn't think so, and the Ponder District has to use its own solar panels anyway, because there are simply no established alternatives on the market.

In that case, why choose those methods that hurt your own interests?

Isn't it over with a knife just to slaughter the Shensi Group!

Wasn't that how those high-tech companies used to dominate Chinese enterprises?

Now it's just SunPower's turn.

After Zheng Yongwei told Jiang Yuan the key point, Jiang Yuan quickly figured it out, and after a pause, he smiled gently:

"Okay, please allow me to think about it again with Mr. Zheng. ”

Seeing that Jiang Yuan did not raise any objections, Abner couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.

The company's risky move is going to succeed!

If nothing else, SunPower's market capitalization could double in at least two years.

As the leader of this business, you can definitely get millions of dollars in bonuses!

At the same time, with this qualification, I may be able to compete for CEO in the future!

He forcibly suppressed his excitement, and made a gentlemanly salute:

"As you wish. ”

Jiang Yuan smiled and shook hands with him to say goodbye, turned his head and said to Su Lin expressionlessly:

"Let's go, I suddenly have some inspiration, I want to find a place to study solar energy, is there a laboratory near me to think about the ocean?"

It's time to start researching again!

Su Lin couldn't help but glance at Abner, who was still smirking in place.

What a poor baby, why do you have to force this BT to go to your industry?

"Yes, the expert group invited by Shensi Ocean and the three academicians who entered behind set up a laboratory, which is not far from the dock by the sea. ”

Jiang Yuan smiled:

"I just went to thank the academicians and experts, it's rude that I've only shown my face once in so long. Shen Long, let's go!"

Shen Long nodded, and immediately instructed the others to prepare through the microphone on his lips.

While several people were waiting in place, Su Lin suddenly asked with a strange face:

"Do you need to invite Miss Zhang Yun over?"

Jiang Yuan was stunned:

"What?"

Su Lin reminded:

"Nourish you...... Once?"

Jiang Yuan suddenly had a black line:

“...... You believe it!"

Su Lin shrugged:

"Originally, I didn't believe it, but it still makes sense from the past time. Moreover, if you don't have a weak heart, why do you let Li Qingyu find trouble with "Wanwan Gossip Network"? So many people hacked you, only they were prosecuted, don't believe it!"

Jiang Yuan was speechless:

"You ......"

Su Lin suddenly smiled:

"Okay, okay, just kidding, Captain Shen, let's go. ”
