Photovoltaic to the countryside plans to make the industry spring

According to data provided by the China Photovoltaic Industry Alliance, the current total global solar PV production capacity is 1.5 to 2 times greater than the actual demand.

Wang Bohua, secretary-general of the China Photovoltaic Industry Alliance, revealed to reporters that the number of photovoltaic companies in the statistics in 2011 was 262, and that in 2012 it had dropped to 112. "This means that more than half of the companies have withdrawn from the photovoltaic industry. Even so, in 2012, the capacity of photovoltaic modules built in China reached 45 million kilowatts, which was 700% in 2009."

Analysts believe that Suntech's bankruptcy is the signal of China's photovoltaic industry's most significant role, indicating that the government is no longer unlimited to the blood transfusion companies, but decided to make the market survival of the fittest, China's photovoltaic industry has entered a period of reshuffle.

A photovoltaic company official in Jiangsu said in an interview with reporters that as a clean energy source, the photovoltaic industry still has bright prospects for three reasons: First, the cost of solar power generation continues to drop, while the cost of fossil fuels continues to rise; From a sustainable perspective, fossil energy is continuously depleted; third, environmental protection is being forced. As an important producer of smog, the future of thermal power plants will certainly be limited.

According to the MIT Technical Review magazine, China's PV integration is not necessarily a bad thing. "Only when more companies fail, output exceeds demand, and prices fall in a straight line, companies can buy more equipment and invest in new technologies. In the long term, solar energy can be compared with fossil energy."

Experts have pointed out that at present, China's photovoltaic industry has entered the shuffle cycle. Judging from historical experience, shuffling at the right time will not necessarily bring about drag on the development of related industries, but will lead the relevant industries to gain more room for development.

With the completion of the table installation and grid parity, China can also implement the Director of New Energy and Renewable Energy of the National Energy Administration, Wang Jun, to introduce the reporter. Taking the German distributed rooftop photovoltaic power station as an example, it is now easy to “fill in the table and install”. Residents only need to fill in an application form with the planning department, and the bank will check the roof area, lighting conditions, etc. on the spot to determine the release. Subsequently, the installation company will go to the roof photovoltaic installation.

In January of this year, the 1,570-kilowatt photovoltaic power generation project of Yuehai Industrial Park in Changzhou High-tech Zone was connected to the grid for power generation. This is the first formal grid-connected project in Jiangsu after the country introduced the free grid-connected photovoltaic power plant policy.

“Because of the high cost of power generation, the photovoltaic industry is still in a 'guided development period' and needs to share costs in many ways: first, rely on government subsidies, second, long-term intervention by banks or insurance companies, and third, photovoltaic companies’ own progress. "Wang Shijiang, the secretariat of the China Photovoltaic Industry Alliance, said.

At present, Germany, Australia, Brazil, and some states in the United States, such as California, have achieved or are approaching a “grid parity”, that is, the cost of solar power is equivalent to the cost of traditional power generation.

"The development of the photovoltaic industry is a process of 'enlarging the market' and 'reducing costs' at the same time." Wang Bohua said that helping domestic PV companies to go out of the "double reaction" to suppress the shadow, on the one hand to use market forces to eliminate backward production capacity, so that there is competition The company's efforts to survive; on the other hand, it is necessary to establish a relevant compensation mechanism to decentralize the higher cost of photovoltaic products so that the domestic consumer market can afford such products.

Launched “photovoltaic to the countryside” and expanded domestic demand. In action, the reporter learned that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is leading a plan to develop a theme “Photovoltaic to the countryside”, aiming to promote large-scale solar photovoltaic power generation into the rural market and take the future of urbanization.” Take a ride."

Although the industry currently has many doubts about the sustainability of the rural market for photovoltaic power generation, according to Han Qiming, a solar energy expert, according to the experience of domestic companies such as China Energy Conservation Corporation, a rural plastic greenhouse covering half a mu is loaded with several kilowatts of electricity. Photovoltaic power generation system requires a total investment of 120,000 to 130,000 yuan, financial subsidies of 30,000 to 40,000 yuan, farmers' investment of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, and the rest will be solved by the bank. This is still a case for developers. Affordable range.

In fact, throughout the country, this year has taken the opportunity to implement a new round of supporting policies for photovoltaic applications, and has used the national distributed application projects such as the Jinyang Demonstration Project and the distributed photovoltaic power generation scale application model as a channel to integrate the national new energy demonstration cities. The establishment of a green energy demonstration county and a solar energy model village will fully promote photovoltaic applications.
