Perfectenergy
(Shanghai), Ltd. (hereinafter,
known as "Party A") and
Shanghai Solar Power Technology Research Center (hereinafter,
known as "Party B") hereby establish this partnership agreement in order to
improve productivity
of the raw components; make good use of zone-melting silicon to produce high
output (more than 20%, Am1.5) solar cell components; reduce investment cost;
and
promote the development of the solar cell industry. Jointly developed by both
parties through equal negotiations, this agreement sets forth the cooperation
between the two parties for a “high-productivity, low-investment zone-melting
silicon” project. The project research includes the following:
| · |
The
construction design of a zone-melting silicon solar cell, simulation
analysis and emulation technology.
|
| · |
Technology
of back surface field, welding, passivation and antireflection.
|
| · |
A
zone-melting silicon solar cell assembly
technique.
|
| · |
Research
on a bulk production technique: how to reduce costs and simplify the
assembly flow while maintaining the same cell
performance.
|

Roles
and Responsibilities:
|
Party
A’s
role and responsibilities:
| 1) |
Supply
zone-melting silicon materials. Apply suede coating to silicon chips,
assemble components, including antireflective coatings, electrode and
welding, etc. Create a back surface field for the zone-melting silicon
solar cell based on a silicon chip with excellent phosphorus diffusion
to
be supplied by Party B. Using the current assembly process of ground
silicon solar cell as reference, improve the assembly craftsmanship
based
on the actual result.
|
| 2) |
In
order to implement a bulk production, start with a small bulk production
as the test based on Party A’s current production line. Provide assembly
equipment and relevant personnel to ensure a flawless work flow.
|
| 3) |
In
charge of commercializing the zone-melting silicon solar cell technology
and mass production.
|
| 4) |
In
charge of the development of related component assembly
techniques.
|
Party
B’s
role and representatives:
| 1) |
Design
the zone-melting silicon solar cell and perform the simulation analysis.
Improve cell construction by integrating the lab data provided by Party
A.
Perform cell test analysis, including a power performance test, minority
carrier lifetime and quantum response
test.
|
| 2) |
In
charge of the R&D of phosphorus
diffusion.
|
| 3) |
Collaborate
with Party A on the R&D of the back surface field technique.
|
| 4) |
In
charge of the research on component reliability
testing.
|
| 2. |
Term
of this agreement
|
From
October 2006 to June 2008
| 3. |
Confidentiality
|
During
the entire joint partnership project, each party has the obligation to maintain
in confidence and not to disclose any confidential information regarding the
progress of any related projects, the selection of materials, technique and
construction, system layout, technique and all other related
information.
| 4. |
Intellectual
Property
|
During
the term of the entire joint partnership project, any technical achievement
accomplished jointly by both parties will be owned by both parties; any
technical achievement accomplished by an individual party will be owned solely
by that individual party.
| 5. |
Both
parties are obligated to follow strictly all the terms set forth in
this
agreement. No party shall terminate or refuse to fulfill this agreement,
due to a force majeure event. Each party is liable for its own expenses.
When the project is accomplished, Party A is responsible for the
production and the marketing promotion of the finished product, and
Party
B is entitled to receive 3% to 5% of the sales volume as a technology
consultant fee.
|
| 6. |
The
agreement is not effective until signed by both parties with stamps.
This
agreement has 4 copies of (each copy has two pages), with each copy
deemed
to have the same force and effect. Each party holds two
copies.
|
| 7. |
Any
new issues that emerge during the execution of this agreement shall
be
resolved by both parties through coordination and negotiation.
