Absolicon and Himin Solar China has started its collaroration since several years ago, Joakim, CEO of Absolicon has visited Himin in China two years ago.

Kc,International sales manager of Absolicon,was supposed to visit them in the beginning of 2020 but the pandemic has prevented the plans. under that circuments, Kc contacted Xina Lang at Dalarna Science Park and ask for support on to move forward its business discussions on production line coorperation with Himin. It is also very important to help the two companies keep the good relations.

Meeting minutes:

Mr. Jessy Ma gave a short introduction of Himin Solar Group at the beginning of meeting. Himin Solar Group is the leader in China Solar Industry, with annual installation area 3 million square meters. Himin Solar and Absolicon started its business cooperation since years ago. The two companies have already started business discussions on a possible Absolicon production line collaboration when Joakim, CEO of Absolicon visited Himin in China. Absolicon offered at about 1200 RMB/m2 (1540 SEK/m2), after market research Himin thinks that the cost requires decrease 30% , to be able to be commercialized and marketization.
 Absolicon T160 production line can be a total production capacity of 300,000 m2 of solar collectors annually (produce one solar collector by 6 mins), and T160 is today the only concentrating solar colleactor with 76% optical effeiciency. Absolicon has a very clear plan for the Chinese market, to find partners for production line purchaser and investors and marketing partners in China. Mr. Jessy Ma is interested and has clearly expressed his collaboration version with Absolicon, but very concerned about the cost. Before Himin make decisions to purchase production line, Himin would like to conduct a successful sample project first for Chinese market.
 In order to lower the cost, Jessy proposed solutions on below:

1. Combining Himin and Absolicon solar colleactors technology: When its low tempreture ＜100 ℃ ; 100 ℃-120℃, Himin collector; when the need is medium temperature : 100 ℃-150℃, Absolicon colleactor.
2. Himin starts an Energy management company, to sell its energy as service to its customers.
 As for the next step, Himin and Absolicon both agreed:
1. Both parties will sign NDA
2. Both parties will sign letter of Intent, to express and confirm both parties are willing start production line collaboration. (Carlo will arrange NDA and Letter of Intent draft before 7th Feb. 2021)
3. After complete signing NDA and Letter of Intent, Carlo will send drawing of 10 key components of Absolicon solar colleactor, in order Himin to check the cost with its supply chain locally.
4. To move forward the production line collaboration.

 Other Issues:
1. Himin could get price–performance ratio at https://www.absolicon.com/fs/
2. Himin Chinese New Year holiday is between 7th Feb. and 17th Feb.

The objective is again to highlight the rapidly emerging international market for decarbonising heating and cooling in buildings. Investments in fossil free heat provision and energy efficiency retrofit of buildings will become a multi-billion dollar market globally as more and more cities impose strict regulations on CO2 emissions and pollution control. The market is further fuelled by political initiatives to increase energy security, create jobs and to develop social welfare.

We will highlight concrete heating and cooling projects at the up-coming workshops, in e.g. the Nordics, UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, Canada and in the US, all involving procurement of technologies and services in 2020/2021. We will also present effective routes to markets, and how companies can be supported in this process. Those registering to the event will also be offered an opportunity to sign up for individual webinars to have a conversation on their specific opportunities and strategies.

The global drive to decarbonising heating and cooling is generating some significant commercial opportunities for companies with proven technologies and services in this field, as well as investors. There are currently significant gaps in the local supply chains making market entry even more attractive. However, businesses also face challenges to overcome when targeting new markets. At the seminar we will address some of the critical questions – Where are the relevant projects, how to access the key decision makers, which are the most effective routes to market, with whom to partner with, and how to establish a long term market position. Further to that there is an urgent need to reduce cost of sales and to increase the hit-rate.
