China's PV industry needs to take the road to market

Among the top ten PV module manufacturers in the world, Chinese companies occupy 6-7 seats. In 2012, China’s newly installed capacity was approximately 4.5 GW, a year-on-year increase of 66%, accounting for approximately 14% of the global market share. The total output value of the photovoltaic industry exceeds 300 billion yuan, and the number of employed people is close to 500,000.

The sustainable development of the photovoltaic industry needs a sound business model, and it needs to push the industry out of a market-oriented development path.

To this end, the representative of the National People's Republic of China, Jinko Energy CEO Chen Kangping said that first, to ensure that the legal power plant in grid and operating power generation. The “Administrative Measures for Priority Access to Renewable Energy for Power Generation”, which is used to solve the problem that wind power and solar power are difficult to purchase in full, is being organized by the National Energy Administration. The long-awaited "Administrative Measures on Renewable Energy Power Quotas" will also be introduced at the right time. The introduction of these two favorable policies will effectively solve this problem.

Second, subsidies for power stations must be issued in a timely manner. Comprehensive consideration should be given to the interests of photovoltaic power stations, power grid companies, and power generation terminals. Subsidize the construction of power grids, peaking power supplies, and photovoltaic power generation to ensure the full use of the clean energy generated by photovoltaic power stations. The timely issuance of electricity price subsidies will effectively encourage photovoltaic power plants. The development and application of renewable energy are an urgent issue to implement.

Third, we must improve the relevant laws and regulations of distributed power plants. Now that China is vigorously promoting the application of distributed power plants, it also faces a series of legal issues. For example, the right to use and ownership of commercial rooftop power stations and the standard issues of power station compensation, etc., should also clarify the rights and obligations of the roof owners and roof power station owners.

Fourth, an important symbol of marketization is commercialization. It is necessary to issue relevant policies to ensure that the power station holders can generate electricity for their own use and use the remaining power to access the Internet. At the same time, it is necessary to eliminate related policy and regulatory bottlenecks, and make market participants not only limited to large-scale state-owned power generation groups, and encourage private and foreign capital to participate in and compete with each other. This can motivate more and more investors to look to the future and hold power stations for a long time. .

Fifth, we must clarify the detailed implementation rules and promote the improvement of business models. Now there are still many details about the policies and regulations of solar power plants, such as the number of years of subsidy and the details of subsidy distribution, as well as the details of the land issues.

Shi Yubo, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), stated that in order to promote the sustainable and healthy development of China's grid-connected photovoltaic industry, it is necessary to reform and innovate supporting policies and measures. It is proposed to reform the subsidy mechanism of grid-connected photovoltaic power generation, and to implement grid-connected photovoltaic power generation by benchmarking the on-grid price of electricity, leveraging on the adjustment of electricity price leverage, and by adjusting the on-grid electricity price of photovoltaic power generation to effectively regulate the development speed of photovoltaic power generation. It is recommended that in-depth study of distributed generation laws, the establishment of a good policy for distributed photovoltaic power pricing, speed up the formulation and promulgation of distributed photovoltaic power generation application standards, and establish a compensation mechanism for the power grid and other power companies to accept the necessary inputs and losses of photovoltaic power generation, Fully mobilize the enthusiasm of other market players.
