Moderator: Thank you, we have basically no time, we should end before 5:00, now 5:20, well, here we have a people to ask questions about mobile phone solar charger.

Question: I am David, I am from India, in India, we also have a national level, the solar initiative, especially focused on crystalline silicon solar charger, but we also talked about other aspects, there are many factors, such as film, as well as in crystalline silicon, we have a ratio, look at the price of crystalline silicon in the past fell, for example, 18 months, we see that the prices of crystalline silicon, the efficiency of the product to see on film it future in the end to see how how the future of this thin-film batteries, for example, three years after the second question, about the price of the component is not in the near future will further firm up? This is my problem.

Moderator: This is the price on this component.

Chris Eberspacher: I think this is the thin film portable power battery , silicon, this depends critically on the choice of the manufacturer, we can see that there are some markets that it has such characteristics, it will choose to crystalline silicon, or select the film, India I think it also make some attempt, I think 95% will be crystalline silicon, or other parts of India and the world is not the same, it will be interested in the film to achieve its bank credit, and to achieve economies of scale. We look at the history of the past 30 years, we believe that we must focus on crystalline silicon, but in the end how to choose is also very interesting thing in India. On component prices.

Question: Do you think the future component prices will once again strong it? Overall capacity, for example, in some places we can see, sometimes the selling price of this component can be less than the price of materials, because of this capacity, this trend may continue to exist then? The manufacturers of this equipment, they are actually very happy, because they buy things very cheap like power bank, do you think how?

Chris Eberspacher: I think that this situation will not continue, if they continue to endure this kind of pain will not last, I think upgrading the quality of the price will rise. There we will see if there are lower costs for iPhone case, the whole situation will get better, if all of these improvements in technology bring lower costs to the situation will change for the better, in general, will save the falling prices, of course, we now see a very large downward price pressure in the long run, we also invested in this industry, we see that the price will be restored after two to three years.

Moderator: We should summarize this afternoon, we talked a lot, we believe that the road still lies ahead, but iPad solar charger is also very difficult, we need long-term tone to overcome these difficulties, but I think you here, you have the same ideas, like us, if we can overcome the 2013 Canton, they must be able to successfully, we can say very bright future, we may see the brighter side.

Well, thank you, thank you panel of experts, and also thank you for your question.
