探索和衡量技术关联性及其伴随的技术发散和趋同，对于研究技术发展的链条模式，把握技术演化和进步的规律，具有深远的理论意义和学术价值。以全球太阳能技术专利计量学分析为例，采用技术共分类分析方法，选取平均技术共分类伙伴数(MTCP)和平均技术共分类指数(MTCI)两个指标，对技术关联度的演化过程进行了分析和度量。研究结果不仅直观地展示了太阳能技术在技术分流与融合的张力中的持续推进特征，而且定量地揭示了由于技术关联性的链式反应，技术分流与技术融合将趋于并行发展。通过分析表明，技术分化与技术融合是两种分立发展、相互作用、互为因果的发展趋势，从而形成连锁反应，不断推动技术的创新、创造和升级。这是在特定技术领域处于可持续发展状态下的正常现象。如何通过实证研究，结合专利分析，验证和揭示技术差异与技术趋同相互作用的一般规律，还有待进一步研究。
Exploring and measuring technology-relatedness and its collateral technology divergence and convergence, would have far-reaching theoretical significance and academic value on the chain mode of technology development, and also on the mastery of the laws for technology evolution and progress. Taking the patentometric analysis of solar energy technology worldwide as a case, employing the methodology of technology co-classification analysis, choosing two indicators, namely, mean technology co-classification partners (MTCP) and mean technology co-classification index (MTCI), we have analyzed and measured the evolving process of technology-relatedness. The results not only demonstrate in a direct manner the continuously advancing character of solar energy technology in the tensions of technology divergence and convergence, but also reveal quantitatively that, due to the chain reaction of technology-relatedness, technology divergence and technology convergence would tend to evolve in parallel. Through these, it is indicated that technology divergence and technology convergence are two trends which would develop separately, react mutually, and serve as causation for each other, thus making chain progress and continuously pushing forward the innovation, creation and upgrading of technologies. This is a regular phenomenon on condition that the specific technology area is in a status of sustainable development. It still awaits further research on how to verify and reveal the general principles on the interaction between technology divergence and convergence by conducting empirical studies and combining patent analysis.
