The company plans to donate RMB1m over five years to support the creation of scholarships, which are intended to be created to help support research of PV technology, foster technology exchange between this university and Solarfun, and expedite the commercialization of new technology developed at the university.
Peter Xie, president of Solarfun, said: “Education is not only one of the most important social functions that can help in the development of a society, but it is also a key area that we need to nurture in order for our industry to continue to mature.
“We proudly announce our plan to support Shanghai Jiao Tong University’s department of physics and their commitment to the research and development of photovoltaic technology. We are proud of our relationships with this university and the development of these scholars, and we hope some of these aspiring new recruits join our industry and possibly our company in the future.”
