One of the green energy, solar cell, is growing rapidly; the monitoring of its technological situation becomes critical for the stakeholders nowadays. Meanwhile, the patent data contains plentiful technological information from which is worthwhile for exploring further knowledge. Therefore, a graph-based approach, chance discovery, is employed so as to analyze the patent data, to form the technological scenarios, and to explain the overview of solar cell technology. Finally, the relationships between technology and companies, between application and companies have been observed, and the strategic suggestions have been proposed accordingly.
