Recently, due to that silicon-based solar technology has entered a mature stage, the spotlight has been shifting to other solar technologies as the market is pursuing more innovations. EnergyTrend conducted an interview with Everlight Chemical Industrial Corporation, which was founded in 1972 and is dedicated to the manufacture, R&D, and sales of high-tech chemical products. Everlight Chemical’s business took off with its dyes for clothes.
Despite the uncertain outlook of the solar industry, a number of manufacturers are still optimistic about its future prospects, especially the thin film solar technologies having been receiving increasing interest. EnergyTrend conducted an exclusive interview with Frank O'Young, Ph.D., the Vice Chairman of Sunner Solar, to share his industrial experience and shed light on the thin film market’s development.

Tainergy is a professional solar cell manufacturer invested and founded by Kenmec Mechanical Engineering Co. in 2007, in an attempt to make a break into the solar industry.
Tainergy launched its IPO with a stock price of NTD 21.5 on August 16th, 2011; the stock price, originally set at NTD 27, was lowered due to the weak demand in the solar market. The cash raisd from the IPO totaled NTD 13.22 million.
Due to a cut of 15% in carbon emission reduction by 2015, the transportation and power system has been focused in the energy policy plan. The electric vehicle and renewable energy industry development also have great potential in Taiwan to become the next trillions of business. Formosa Energy & Material Technology Co. (FEMTC) firstly released their latest power management system, which adopt LFP / LFPO battery cell, it is expected to solve electromagnetic wave interference and provide dynamic balancing system.
