subject: Solar Photovoltaic Industry Strong Support By The Government - Photovoltaic - Electrical Industry [print this page] China is the world's largest producer of solar photovoltaic cells, which account for almost 40% of the global solar market, but its domestic market demand is very low, almost less than 1% of its production.
According to CCID consultant news, because China's solar energy industry heavily dependent on foreign orders, in 2008 global economic recession, the demand for foreign orders declined sharply, leading domestic manufacturer of photovoltaic cells suffered a serious blow.
Foreign sudden cooling makes the domestic market for solar photovoltaic cell production capacity surplus of at least 1,000 MW, making China pay more attention to its domestic solar energy market development.
China National Climate Center, an expert Shen Yan Bo to the China Daily said the number of days under the sun, there are six regions in northwest China and the provinces most suitable for developing solar energy projects, respectively, the regions and provinces - Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai and Shaanxi.
From Reuters, investors for the development of solar energy projects in China can not produce economic sense, this is because the Government incentives in this area are few and installation costs are still high.
Order to reverse this situation, the Chinese government has put a lot of solar energy policy, and to provide subsidies and investment incentives - all these are solar energy to revive its domestic market.
Ministry of Finance and Planning Ministry of Construction and Housing in March 2009 jointly launched a national subsidy program for the promotion of solar BIPV technology (BIPV) to use, and in rural and remote areas to install rooftop solar systems.
Under the scheme, will be installed in the roof peak generating capacity of 50 kW or more per watt of solar energy projects in 20 yuan ($ 2.90) a fixed subsidy. Meanwhile, government investment projects, will its purchase and installation costs of solar panels to provide half of the subsidies.
And, for the project to install solar batteries provides the conversion efficiency of silicon photovoltaic cells at least 16%; polycrystalline silicon photovoltaic products at least 14%; amorphous silicon or thin film PV products conversion efficiency of at least 6%.
Subsidy programs sufficient to attract developers to the development of solar projects, this can produce about 1 GW of solar capacity - its capacity to meet the electricity needs of 1 million families.
Solar subsidy program since the first successful effect, the Ministry of Finance in July launched its second national solar subsidy program, called "Golden Sun Project" The purpose of this program through the next 2 to 3 years pilot project to promote the development of 500MW of solar.
Under this scheme, the Government will install rooftop solar photovoltaic grid projects, grid BIPV projects and install the ground grid solar PV projects to subsidize half the total investment, while for rural areas to install non-grid solar PV systems for 70% of the total investment subsidies.
However, to obtain the subsidy, each project's installed capacity of at least 300-kW, to complete construction within a year and at least 20 years operation of the project.
Under the scheme, asked power companies to purchase these items from the surplus of electricity, coal-fired power plants with the price and net price basis rather.
Chint Solar project is to benefit from the Golden Sun, a company, the company's total installed capacity of 7.86MW, Zhejiang Province, the six solar photovoltaic project in the next 2 to 3 years of solar energy received state subsidies.
In addition to its domestic launch of the national subsidy program, the
