Suzhou: LED green lighting is not popular

Last month, the national development and Reform Commission and other ministries jointly announced the semiconductor lighting energy saving industry planning. For a time, the domestic LED lighting industry all cheered, as if already ushered in the LED lighting industry, the best era". Is it really that simple? A plan can break the bottleneck in the development of this industry? In fact, only when the industry to break the shackles of the development of a few, may usher in the spring.

The price is too expensive to light the bottleneck of green lighting is not popular

LED lighting products "Mingmen" obviously, the price is too expensive. Reporters at the store area of a large city decoration lamps learned, 8W energy-saving lamps in our province a financial subsidy of the brand, the retail price of 8.6 yuan, if you catch the financial subsidies to promote activities, local residents can buy half price per person, no more than 10 energy-saving lamps; and the same brand 3W specifications LED lamp brightness almost, retail market the price is 50 yuan a, two light price disparity. 8W energy-saving lamp house usually need only ten or twenty, a light more than thirty or forty dollars, the decoration into a pretty "bite", a salesperson told reporters, "LED light is energy saving, can save money to buy residential light when electricity do not know how long can use. The brand lamps dealers said that they are currently in the Suzhou market sales, the traditional energy-saving lamps accounted for nearly half, while the LED lamp is less than 10%.

Zhang Haicong, a consultant in the Chinese society of lighting, it seems that some manufacturers in the promotion of LED lights, the best results in the laboratory, the cost of the traditional lighting and the most common products for comparison, it is unscientific.

"Not necessarily popular, leading technology products for travel is not uncommon in the market. Environmental protection and energy saving, the characteristics of the whole society run more favorable LED lamp, in economics known as the "positive externalities", if only rely on the market to adjust, "positive externalities" will make the market production is less than the amount of social hope.

Western economists believe that this case can make the government only the "visible hand" to play a role, or through the market operation mechanism of the innovative design, the "income internalization of positive externalities", so as to inspire positive externalities of economic activity.

Cost strategy

Technical breakthrough

The new crystal industry breakthroughs in the development of the industry has passed the turning point?

Suzhou new nano crystal photoelectric Co., has announced that they produced LED light emitting chip light emitting efficiency can reach 180 lumens per watt! This in the industry as the "thunder", the industry insiders know what it means.

Professor of Taiwan University of science and technology, LED industry renowned scholar Xiao Hongqing has asserted that when the LED chip light-emitting efficiency of 180 lumens per watt, will usher in the entire LED lighting industry inflection point". Because, to achieve this efficiency, which means that in order to ensure that before the heat to do additional design, will become history, LED lighting production costs will be reduced step by step.

The new nano crystal has a Listed Company Xinhai and Suzhou Institute of nano background, chip luminous efficiency has reached this level, we are ready to meet the "inflection point" ready ", in the opinion of the general manager of the company Wang Huaibing, made the first breakthrough in the technology of local enterprises will win in this round of LED lighting industry development.

In addition to its own technical development bottlenecks, LED lighting products are still another reason for the high cost of this industry is the lack of integration concentration. Reporters learned from the Municipal Commission by letter, there are currently a total of 102 LED lighting production enterprises in Suzhou, has been open to the patent application reached 2240, LED patent authorization of the list, ranked the forefront of the national large and medium cities. However, from the Suzhou 32 major LED lighting production enterprises in the distribution of the industry chain, nearly 80% enterprises in the middle and lower reaches of the device and integrated applications, and the size of the enterprise is generally small. A brutal fact is that about 80% of the power LED chips in Suzhou still need to be imported from abroad and Taiwan.

Wang Huaibing told reporters that the new nano crystal first will purchase 20 sets of MOCVD (the key equipment of LED chip production), all production after the expected annual output value will reach 500 million yuan, will have a positive impact on the advantage of the integration of the LED lighting industry in Suzhou. Next, the new nano crystal will also actively carry out LED related industries vertical integration of the industry chain, thereby further reducing production costs.

Now, a high-profile announcement of the local leading enterprises have achieved breakthroughs in key technologies, the local industry chain is also rapidly extending from the application to the front end. City Commission by letter in a research report on the present situation of the LED lighting industry described as "LED lighting products of the" two 20% ", namely the product performance indicators of the quality of product prices rose at an average of 20% a year, with an average annual decline to about 20%. "

Operational innovation

LED Street renovation costs 6 years to recover the contract energy management can achieve win-win"

If we can through the innovation of the market operation mechanism, to solve the positive externalities of the product cost problem, is undoubtedly the best answer. It is in this expectation, the contract energy management model has become the focus of attention of a market-oriented solution.

"Contract energy management" is a new market-oriented energy-saving mechanism. In the actual operation, the profitability of energy management company and the special implementation of energy saving project enterprises (users) signed such service contract, related to investment in energy saving all shall be borne by the energy management company, and after the implementation of the transformation of saving energy use down costs will be in accordance with the agreed ratio
