In the first half of 2016, the sales volume of the flat-panel TV market was 23 million units, a slight increase from the same period in 2015. It is estimated that the sales volume of flat-panel TVs will reach 48 million units in 2016. This is the statistics and estimation of the 2016 color TV market in China from January to June 2016 on the consumption of flat-panel TVs in the first half of 2016 and the market trend forecast report for the second half of the year (hereinafter referred to as the “Report”) issued jointly by the China Electronic Chamber of Commerce and the China Electronics Standardization Institute.


Behind the two sets of data is the fierce competition in the color TV industry and the formation of new game rules.

The television industry has always followed a hardware-based approach. However, the value of content can no longer be ignored. In particular, exclusive, distinctive content is very attractive to users and can enhance users' willingness to pay for viewing. The above report pointed out that when Internet companies such as Xiaomi and Leshi entered the market with content as their product highlights and seized the market with the “buy content delivery hardware” model, recently traditional TV manufacturers began to counterattack and used the method of “buying hardware to send content”. It does what it does. Skyworth announced that it will provide one-to-two-year Tencent video VIP membership service to consumers who purchase high-end TVs. Hisense also stated that consumers purchasing VIDAA Internet TV will enjoy the first year of iQIYI VIP content for free and for a two-and-a-half-year renewals privilege.

As a result, the "hardware + content" ecological model has become a consensus in the color TV industry. Both Internet companies and traditional color TV manufacturers compete for content. Following the alliance between TCL and LeTV, Konka, and Microwhales, Changhong and Tencent Penguin TV also announced the formation of a joint research institute. The two sides launched the first children's television G3 and will conduct in-depth cooperation on smart TV content operations. As a content provider, Ulead Boule is also stepping up its cooperation with film and television production companies. Its recently launched "Yun Pengyun Children" integrates Babyfirst, CBBC, Qiaohu and other well-known children's content resources at home and abroad. Disney Content is also planned to go online this summer.



In addition to cooperation, traditional color TV manufacturers are trying to get involved in content production. Skyworth has regarded content investment as a new strategy, preparing for a joint production agency to shoot content and investing in a number of film and television dramas. Hisense also sponsored the “European Cup” for the first time to get involved in video productions and teamed up with Huang Jianxiang and Sina Weibo to create a first-rate ball review program.

In addition to supplementing the content, traditional color TV manufacturers have begun to upgrade their product structure. At present, the main products of various manufacturers, such as LG's OLED TV, Samsung's second-generation SUHD QD TV, TCL's QUHD Quantum Dot TV, Hisense's Internet TV brand VIDAA, Changhong's CHiQ TV, are all playing high-end cards. All of them have already focused on high-value-added, high-premium products, hoping to take advantage of the quagmire of price wars. With the increase in consumer spending power and changes in consumer attitudes, users tend to be ultra-high-definition, large-size, and high-quality products when they purchase color TVs. The high-end trend of color TVs is also gradually being accepted by the market. The report believes that based on this, 2016, ultra-thin, curved TV market sales will reach 6 million units.

Solar Charge Controller

The main function of the Solar Charge Controller is to manage the charging and discharging process between the Solar Panel and the battery in the solar power generation system. Its main function is to protect the battery from overcharge and over-discharge damage, ensure battery charging efficiency, and stabilize the operation of the solar power generation system.

Main effect:

Charge control: The solar charge controller controls the charging process by monitoring the voltage and current generated by the solar panel to ensure that the battery is charged at the appropriate voltage and current to extend the battery life.

Overcharge protection: The solar charge controller can monitor the charging status of the battery, and when the battery is fully charged, it will automatically stop charging to avoid battery damage caused by overcharging.

Over-discharge protection: The solar charge controller can monitor the discharge state of the battery. When the battery power is lower than a certain level, it will automatically stop discharging to avoid battery damage caused by over-discharge.

Differences from other charge controllers:
The solar charge controller is a charge controller specially designed for solar power generation systems, the main differences are as follows:

Applicable Energy: The solar charge controller is suitable for solar power generation systems, mainly used to manage the charging and discharging process between solar panels and batteries. While other charge controllers may be suitable for different energy generation systems, such as wind energy, hydro energy, etc.

Charging characteristics: The solar charge controller is optimized for the characteristics of the solar panel, and can control the charging process according to the output power and voltage characteristics of the solar panel. Other charge controllers may be optimized for different types of energy generation characteristics.

Protection function: Solar charge controllers usually have overcharge protection and over-discharge protection functions to ensure the safe charging and discharging of batteries. Other charge controllers may have different protection functions, depending on the needs of the application scenario.

Overall, the main role of the solar charge controller is to manage the charging and discharging process in the solar power generation system, protect the battery from damage, and stabilize the system's operation. Compared with other charge controllers, it is optimized for the characteristics of solar power generation systems and has unique functions such as overcharge protection and over-discharge protection to meet the needs of solar power generation systems.
