Suntech Power, the largest solar cell manufacturer in China, has donated $1.5 million towards solar and renewable energy research at the University of New South Wales. 
Vice-Chancellor Prof Fred Hilmer and Dr Zhengrong Shi Dr Zhengrong Shi, Suntech’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, is a PhD alumnus of the solar photovoltaic research group at UNSW. “Dr Shi has been a long time supporter of our work on renewable energy sources and this latest contribution toward photovoltaic research will allow us to continue to develop the energy of the future,” says Dr Richard Corkish, head of the School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Engineering. Dr Shi describes the partnership between Suntech and UNSW as a step forward in the global quest to find renewable energy. “Suntech’s research relationship with the University of New South Wales strives to make solar power an even more attractive clean solution to the world’s energy needs,” he says. “Through our unique collaboration, UNSW students and staff are involved in the complete technology development process, and we are able to transfer new technologies to commercial production in a relatively short time.” Dr Shi, who received his PhD from UNSW in 1992, is a specialist in crystalline solar cell technology. Suntech’s contribution will fund the research and development of technology that increases the conversion efficiency of solar cells and decreases solar energy’s cost per watt. UNSW is a recognised world leader in silicon solar cell technology. Suntech and UNSW have agreed to explore possibilities for further collaboration for the mutual benefit and the benefit of photovoltaic research generally. 
光电研究 ，前景充满阳光 中国目前最大的太阳能电池制造商—太阳能科技公司（Suntech Power）近日向新南威尔士大学捐赠了1.5百万美元的基金以赞助其太阳能等可再生资源领域的研究。
副校长 Fred Hilmer教授与 Zhengrong Shi博士 Suntech的主席兼首席执行官Zhengrong Shi博士也是通过UNSW的太阳能光电研究小组获得PhD学位的校友。 “Shi博士一直以来都是我们可再生能源研究的赞助者，这次对于光电学研究的资助将是我们能够对未来的能源发展做出贡献。”光电与可再生工程学主席 Richard Corkish博士说。 对此次Suntech 与UNSW 之间的合作Shi博士描述为是对全球范围内的对可再生能源的探索迈出的重要一步。 “Suntech此次与新南威尔士大学的研究合作将致力于使太阳能成为更具吸引力的洁净能源而解决世界能源需求，”他说到。 “通过我们独一无二的合作，UNSW的学生和教员将可以参与整个工艺发展流程，这也使我们可以在相对较短的时间内将此项最新技术转变为拥具商业用途的产品。” Shi博士与1992年在UNSW获得PhD学位，并成为晶体太阳能电池技术领域的专家。Suntech将对提高太阳能电池的转化效能和降低每瓦特所需太阳能耗的此项技术研究给予资助。 UNSW是世界上硅太阳能电池技术工艺领域的专家。Suntech与UNSW已就进一步探索未来有利于双方以及对光电能研究总体的贡献性合作机会达成共识。 |
