Who Restricting the market of Chinese PV application? 3-3

Policy measures to support PV unsound

The high cost of solar generator and grid has been a difficult two problems hinder the development of the domestic PV market. So while the Government through the development of price subsidies to get rid of the high price of photovoltaic power generation "bottleneck" to shorten the payback period investors; on the other hand to support through the introduction of photovoltaic power generation and network and network policies. Development and implementation of national policy determines the size of the PV market. At present, China's PV support policies are not perfect, there are some problems in the operation mechanism.

Supporting policies is not perfect one reflected on the support of distributed applications in photovoltaic electricity subsidies based on the current investment subsidies have not yet introduced, the lack of household, commercial and industrial companies to install photovoltaic systems initial investment subsidy, soft loan deals or tax breaks, and other related policies.

Due to the high initial investment of photovoltaic solar energy storage, based on China's current per capita income levels, only to reduce the initial investment in order to mobilize their personal passion for installation, while China's current policy does not address the photovoltaic. Supporting policies is not perfect and is also reflected in the absence of the introduction of network policies for large-scale photovoltaic power plants and large-scale photovoltaic power plants net flow is still cumbersome and lengthy.

State Grid Corporation in October 2012 26 issued a "do a good job of distributed photovoltaic power generation and network service Work", the process is simplified and the network 6 megawatts of distributed PV power plant, theoretically solve the distributed photovoltaic grid problems. And subsidies, as this policy is also only "opinions", the lack of laws and regulations to protect their execution.

Look subsidies, how to ensure that one country subsidy funding. PV subsidies, mainly from renewable energy tariff surcharge, state funding accounted for a smaller proportion. 15 July 2013, the State Council issued the "Opinions on promoting the healthy development of off grid solar system," he pointed out that by 2015 China's total installed capacity of PV to reach 35 million kilowatts (35GW) above. By the end of 2013, China's cumulative installed PV about 18.1GW, generating 110 billion a year to 120 billion degrees, according to subsidize 0.42 yuan / kWh basis, the corresponding need more than 400 billion yuan of subsidies. If the completion of the annual installed capacity of 35GW generation can reach 2000-2500 million degrees, the annual subsidy needed to 840w ~ 1050 yuan.

1.5 cents per kilowatt of renewable energy tariff additional criteria from 25 September 2013 in accordance with the beginning of the implementation of the (previously 0.8) and 2013 to calculate the whole society electricity consumption 5.3223 trillion kwh, electricity additional income was only 800 billion. It should be noted that the tariff surcharge levied not only established as PV, is renewable energy, count wind, biomass, etc., really very little money left for the photovoltaic industry. And additional tariff only except residents and other agricultural production of electricity levy. Current photovoltaic subsidies have a gap, 2015, the funding gap will be even greater.

The second is how to ensure that government subsidies fair, in full, on time and persistence paid. Subsidy arrears in the country has built large-scale ground photovoltaic power plants are prevalent, it can be said to have been the origin of a long time. Large-scale ground photovoltaic power station construction and operation need to take a lot of money, subsidies are not in place, the power plant to sell electricity grid can only get 0.4 to 0.5 yuan desulfurization sales price, the proceeds to repay even the interest on the loan operation and maintenance of power plants are often mouth not enough. Investors not only through the construction of photovoltaic power plants can’t be profitable, but also a loss is likely to occur. This situation will undoubtedly affect the enthusiasm of the other investors in the construction of solar backup generator plants.

In addition, the implementation of the results and net policies and subsidies can also be seen reflected in the 2013 case of distributed PV installed capacity in 2013, China's installed capacity of distributed PV 3GW, most of which come from 2012, had been approved the "Golden sun" demonstration project, based on real electricity subsidy model projects a few hundred megawatts, and none of these big projects and networks.

Technical standards and certification system is not perfect

Photovoltaic power generation projects with huge investment, the project is completed long running time, harsh operating environment, and the project operation and production and life are closely related features. Therefore, to ensure that quality is the key photovoltaic power projects, and is a prerequisite for photovoltaic applications PV industry development. Ensure quality PV products and photovoltaic power plant safe and stable operation of the need to improve product standards and strict certification system. The lack of standards and certification of photovoltaic products easily lead to uneven quality, unstable system operation, and low power generation efficiency, thereby affecting the reputation of the industry, the public investment in the fight against the construction of photovoltaic power generation project enthusiasm, and ultimately impede the orderly development of the PV market.

All along, China's photovoltaic industry chain are facing the problem of lack of standards, from the PV original, specification and auxiliary materials to the photovoltaic cell, product performance testing components, and power station construction application terminal, etc., are in part or all of the missing state standards . Meanwhile, China's current portable solar generator standards already lack the practical implementation of mandatory authority, many of the standard has not been implemented. In addition, subject to the limits of the annual publication of the number of national standards published by the speed it is difficult to meet the market demand for rapid development of the industry in some areas led to the existence of standards do not apply or do not scale to follow the case, the urgent need to strengthen the standards system revision.

Compulsory certification is international practice, strict certification system can provide photovoltaic applications escort, but China has not yet officially launched the field of photovoltaic-related certification, already insufficient to carry out certification authority. Resulting in many domestic enterprises need to get the foreign certification of photovoltaic products, increased product costs. The lack of accreditation of photovoltaic products difficult to obtain market acceptance, sales limited.

At present, China PV application market development is still in its infancy, the future with the expansion of market size, lack of standards and certification restraining effect on market development will become more apparent.

Lack of photovoltaic professionals

Although China has opened several universities Photovoltaic, relevant research institutions are also the training of professionals PV, but because of the photovoltaic industry is the emerging technology-intensive industries, the development time is short, fast growth, the lack of industry and related in-depth understanding of discipline, training programs, etc. imperfect conditions and teachers, resulting in the quantity and quality of talent photovoltaic research and development, design, production, construction and other aspects difficult to meet the needs of China's photovoltaic enterprises. Lack of talent makes a considerable number of photovoltaic solar electric generator enterprises lack independent innovation capability and autonomous technology, the overall R & D and mass production technology and international advanced level there is a certain gap. Some enterprises can only dig everywhere, additional human resources costs.

On the other hand, the lack of appropriate vocational schools, technical schools and vocational skills training related to photovoltaic power generation, the current number of employees and professional quality photovoltaic power generation is difficult to guarantee. And for the ordinary people of publicity, education, training popularize basic knowledge of photovoltaic power generation has not yet carried out.
