SiliconPV is one of the most important PV conferences in the world. It will be held in conjunction with the nPV Workshop and bifiPV Workshop in Hangzhou on June 01-05, 2020, which will be one of the important PV events in China. In the last decade, PV in China has developed very fast. A lot of important companies related to polycrystalline silicon, silicon ingots/wafers, silicon solar cells and modules have appeared and have big influence on the PV industry in the world. In 2018, 155,000 t polycrystalline silicon, 107.1 GW silicon ingots and wafers, 85.0 GW silicon solar cells and 84.3 GW modules were fabricated in China. Meanwhile, 44.3 GW PV were installed in China in 2018, which was about ~41.5% of the total PV installation in the world. It is obvious that Chinese colleagues are looking forward to meeting the top experts in PV area from all over the world, for discussing the challenges in PV technology and the future of the PV industry.
 

Hangzhou, built ~2200 years ago, is the capital city of Zhejiang province, and is one of the famous cultural and historical cities. It is also one of the most charming and beautiful cities for tourists and has three “World Culture Heritages”, i.e. West Lake, Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and Liangzhu Historical Site. Meanwhile, Hangzhou is also a modern city, e.g. the headquarters of Alibaba are located here. In 2016, the Global Leader Summit “G20” was held in Hangzhou, and in 2022, the “19^th Asian Games” will also be held here.
 

As the local organizer and chairman of nPV Workshop, I warmly welcome you to attend the 10^th SiliconPV Conference, nPV Workshop and bifi PV Workshop 2020 in Hangzhou, China on June 01-05, 2020. I believe that you will really enjoy the trip to Hangzhou.

Hangzhou welcomes you! 杭州欢迎您！
