Soletks Group has established its own advantages in core technology research and development, brand, market, team, management, etc. It has sales and service channels covering the global market, and its products are exported to many countries and regions. The annual output of flat-panel solar collectors is 3GWt (600,000 square meters), ranking the third in the world for three consecutive years from 2017 to 2019, and the second in the world from 2020 to 2021.

 Soletks Group-BTE has always regarded technological innovation as the core competitiveness of the enterprise. It has 4 technical departments, 1 research institute, and 1 laboratory. The scientific research personnel account for 16%, of which 50% have been in the industry for more than 20 years. In conjunction with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Tsinghua University, Beijing University of Technology, Shandong Jianzhu University and other research and development institutions, Soletks Group vigorously develop products that convert solar "hot water" to solar "thermal energy", and successfully develop urban heating collectors and distributed heating collectors, flat plate air collector, double tube air collector; Tobacco drying collectors, industrial heat collectors, and complete sets of equipment for distributed energy stations are being developed. Soletks Group develops system solutions in new applications of clean energy, explore high-quality market space, and gains market share in a huge market scale. Soletks Group has 29 world-leading patented technologies and industry solutions. With industry-leading technical reserves and R&D strength, advanced manufacturing capabilities of Industry 4.0, and a complete after-sales service system, it leads the industry to transform from solar "hot water" to "thermal energy", providing high-quality thermal energy, heating, cooling, heating and other clean energy comprehensive utilization services for civil buildings, military facilities, industry heating, planting, breeding, drying and other fields. The group has been approved as a national high-tech enterprise, the title of "Leader" of National Solar Thermal Utilization Products, a "Little Giant" of National Specialized and New Enterprise, "Specialized and New" Enterprise of Shandong Province, Shandong Enterprise Technology Center, Gazelle Enterprise of Shandong Province and other platforms and honors.  

Soletks Group-BTE is an innovative organization with a technology research and development center, responsible for vacuum coating system design, film design, collector design, solar building integrated design and other research and development work. Master and flexibly use advanced innovative methods and skills, participate in international market innovation competition, and cultivate R&D teams. With the aid of the R&D resources of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, applied mathematics and physics knowledge for systematic development, developed a number of CAE (finite element) engineering examples, used CAE methods to solve technical problems in actual R&D work, and analyzed actual physics with mathematical methods problem. For example, using mechanical finite element analysis of mechanical structure, fluid finite element analysis of atmosphere distribution in vacuum sputtering system, magnetic field finite element analysis of target (sputter source/cathode) structure, optical finite element analysis of film structure, Heat transfer finite element analysis of the thermal efficiency of the collector. The research and development work has been disruptively innovative, the research and development cycle is shortened, and the research and development cost is reduced. In terms of process development, equipment development, and product development, the product design intent can be realized.

The company has the experience and ability to independently design, manufacture and integrate large-scale magnetron sputtering solar selective cermet coating production lines with the same technological level as developed countries in the world. It also has Know-How that designs and prepares composite coatings composed of materials of different thicknesses and different compositions in the nanometer scale to achieve selective absorption, transmission and reflection of various bands of spectrum.

The influence of the flow velocity of the working fluid in the collector flow channel on the flow
