How special are these three cars, why are they so compelling?
Yes, these three special cars are solar cars. However, this scene does not happen in the future, such as 2030, but just yesterday, July 2, 2016 evening; not on Mars, but on Earth, Beijing, North Fifth Ring, Hanergy Holdings The headquarters location. At that time, a large-scale solar-powered car launch conference was underway, and three solar-powered car ring-seat venues were the finale of the conference.
Hanergy's solar power generation, dare to call "leaders", what is the bottom? It is reported that the company began to shift to the field of solar power generation after 2009, and selected four outstanding enterprises from more than 400 solar power generation companies around the world to make acquisitions, and carried out "global technology integration" and made further breakthroughs. Hanergy's representative product, gallium arsenide (GaAs) thin-film battery, has a solar conversion rate of up to 31.6%, making it the latest world record, and the World Expo Association's certification ceremony was also interspersed at the press conference.
Hanergy's World Record Certification Ceremony
Hanergy has a boss who dares to dare to do it. At the press conference, Li Hejun, the chairman of Hanergy Holdings, mentioned that he started his business by himself and relied on the teacher's 50,000 yuan to start a business. When the Jinanqiao Hydropower Station was built, it was hard to write to the State Council, which opened the first place for private enterprises to establish their stations. In 2015, the stock market was “ After the short sale, I still thank the “short sellers†and continue to invest funds in technology research and development. It is especially rare in China, where the scale is not focused on R&D.

Why did Hanergy build a car?
For the energy industry, Hanergy is still famous. However, for the automotive industry, Hanergy is indeed a very strange company, almost unknown. So why does Hanergy build a car? Is it reliable?
This is starting from the strategy of a new energy vehicle that is currently in China. China's special national conditions have caused China's oil dependence to exceed the standard and environmental pollution is shocking. Therefore, in the general direction of energy conservation and environmental protection, and taking into account the technological upgrading of the automobile industry, China has gradually developed new energy vehicles as its national strategy in recent years. . However, in China's current promotion of new energy vehicles, there are more electric vehicles, that is, cars driven by lithium-ion batteries.
This piece has three problems: First, although the scale of China's lithium-ion battery is the largest, the core technology level still has a big gap with Japan and South Korea. China's electric vehicle industry may be subject to people again. Second, at present, China's power In the structure, thermal power accounts for more than 70%, while thermal power is still from fossil fuels, storage is limited, and a large amount of harmful gases are generated. Electric vehicles are not absolutely environmentally friendly. Third, charging facilities are insufficient due to parking spaces and grid capacity. Objective reasons such as auditing and control, charging facilities are seriously inadequate, causing serious inconvenience to the use of electric vehicles.
The core idea of ​​Hanergy's solar car is to cover 3.5~7.5 square meters of gallium arsenide film on the surface of the car body. It can be irradiated for 5~6 hours in sufficient sunlight every day, and it can send 8-10 kWh and can drive about 80 kilometers. Meet daily commute needs.
In theory, solar cars can solve the three major problems of the above new energy vehicles. First, Hanergy's thin film power generation technology is relatively leading. According to Li Hejun, “leading to Europe and the United States for 5 to 10 years†may help China to achieve world leadership and achieve industrial upgrading. Second, solar power comes from the sun. Insufficiency, the power generation process is clean and pollution-free, and it is still completely free, which can help users save the cost of using the car. Third, the charging process of the solar car does not have to rely on a fixed charging facility, and can be charged during the driving process. It can also be charged while parking, and it is easier to promote the energy internet.
It is precisely because of the outstanding advantages of solar vehicles that after taking the solar sports car that Li Hejun personally drove, Mr. Fu Yuwu, the chairman of the China Automotive Engineering Society, expressed his emotions and said that “the dream of riding a solar car 15 years ago is finally round today. ", and expressed high appreciation and eager anticipation of Hanergy's R&D team.
What kind of car is Hanergy ready to build?
So, what kind of car is Hanergy ready to build? What is product planning like?
At the press conference, Mr. Gao Weimin, Vice President of Hanergy Holdings and CEO of Hanergy Automotive Division, announced the four models of its HanergySolar series to thousands of audiences, codenamed O, L, A and R, respectively. The target population is scheduled to be listed in three years or so.
In terms of concept, the vehicle seeks to achieve lightweight and thin film battery integration area under the premise of satisfying functions such as functionality and safety. At the same time, intimate human culture design can realize real-time, mobile, network and intelligent. By driving, weather mode selection and management, users can define and manage solar charging modes under different weather conditions through mobile APP. Vehicles are also equipped with unique thin-film battery chip ultrasonic cleaning technology.
HanergySolar O is positioned in an intelligent, networked, compact car that provides short-haul travel for mobile travel in the city. Hanergy Solar O uses a two-sided plate-shaped clip to construct the body's body design to achieve the largest solar chip illumination area. In the interior, the design of the large-area touch screen allows the driver to obtain various types of information more intuitively. Personal guess, this will be a crossover similar to the current popular small SUV.
Hanergy Solar L has an ultra-long body of nearly 6 meters, which makes the integrated solar chip area of ​​the vehicle roof reach 6 square meters. The highly streamlined vehicle shape, the hidden wheel design and the slim camera-type rearview mirror make the vehicle's wind resistance greatly reduced. The entire car is made of aluminum alloy frame and combined with carbon fiber body. The vehicle quality is only 700 kg. This lightweight design makes the vehicle energy consumption extremely low. Personal guess, this will be a product similar to MPV.
Hanergy Solar Power Vehicle Hanergy Solar A
Hanergy Solar A is unique in style, with white lines throughout the body and a distinctive turbulence design that feels like a fast-moving yacht in the sea. It is worth mentioning that this car is also equipped with solar chips under the front windshield of the main instrument panel, which can supply power to the instrument and multimedia equipment separately, so that the whole vehicle can maximize the utilization of solar energy. Personal guess, this will be a medium-sized SUV product.
Hanergy Solar Power Vehicle Hanergy Solar R
Solar R is a solar-powered new energy sports car with flexible, ultra-thin solar chips integrated into the front cover, roof and sides, and perfectly integrated with the streamlined body. The overall color of the black and white segmentation makes the sports car more dynamic. The spoiler design of the tail and the roof maximizes the solar chip area while greatly reducing the drag coefficient and enhancing the stability of high-speed driving.
The author found that the four models released this time are relatively individualized models, which is different from the mainstream sedan cars on the market. The reason is mainly to consider the characteristics of the target user group. After all, the first users who can accept solar cars must be a group of people who dare to accept new things and hope to show their individuality. At the same time, this also represents the future car consumption. Trends, educating consumers and looking to the future.
What problems will Hanergy have to face?
The general direction of solar vehicles is bright, and it has now advanced from concept to engineering prototype stage. The prototype has also been around for a week and implemented a historic breakthrough. However, Hanergy will still face many difficulties in building a car. Mainly reflected in three aspects: conversion rate, cost, industrialization.
First, the conversion rate. Although the World Record Association has confirmed the record, the conditions for obtaining this conversion rate of 31.6% are quite different from those in daily use. China's climate environment is very complicated. From south to north, the climatic conditions are quite different. At present, the best sunshine conditions in the country are in Tibet. It is difficult to obtain charging conditions in most areas, such as Chongqing. In addition, the road conditions of automobiles are also relatively high. Complex, viaducts, tunnels, tall buildings, shades of sunlight, etc., will affect the conversion rate.
Second, the cost. This conference did not mention how much it would cost to use a 4 to 7 square meter thin film battery. The user spends his own money and is very sensitive to the cost. Taking the current new energy vehicle as an example, the user's purchase cost is 30%~50% more than that of the traditional car of the same level. Currently, only a few purchases are limited. The city has to form a small scale by enjoying the license. Moreover, the solar car is not a battery. It is first an electric car. After that, it is a solar-powered car. The cost of the battery (although the battery is not large), the cost of the thin-film battery, the increase, whether the consumer pays the bill. ?
Third, industrialization. As an energy company, it has entered the field of building a car. The span is large and the number of links is what Hanergy can afford. According to public information, Hanergy has indeed built some cars, such as mobile dining cars, tourist cars, motor homes, etc. However, these cars have limited use scenarios and are quite different from traditional cars. This time, it is very clear that Hanergy is to build a car in the true sense of the car, to meet the daily travel needs of thousands of households. This involves not only the design, testing, manufacturing and other aspects of the vehicle, but also the integration of solar energy and automobile. From the current foundation to the listing within three years, the difficulty can be imagined. How can Hanergy solve it?
Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny. I think that the beautiful and harmonious scene after the full popularity of solar cars, I can't help but feel very excited; but considering the "three big mountains" from the prototype to the commercial real vehicle, I can't help but ask, solar cars. Is it a false proposition? Is Hanergy really "not impossible"? Returning to the essence of things, the pace of human mobility is difficult to reverse. Vehicles are definitely needed, and fossil resources are ultimately limited. They also cause a series of social problems such as pollution and greenhouse gases, and there is no effective and long-term solution. At this moment, standing at the height of sustainable development of human society, for the sake of future generations, I chose to believe, and called for more companies to join in the development of solar power and solar vehicles to build a future.
