Era of thin-film solar tech dawns

According to the chairman of clean energy company Hanergy, the era of mobile energy sources has arrived with the dawn of thin-film solar technology.

"It is the future trend for new energy, including solar power, to replace traditional fossil fuels. Mobile energy technology, which allows you to charge anywhere, will turn different objects into green generators," said Li Hejun, chairman of Hanergy Holding Group Ltd, a Beijing-based multinational renewable energy company.

According to Li, burning coal or oil not only generates greenhouse emissions, but also leads to great waste, as the energy utilization rate of those fuel types is only 1 to 2 percent.
