Analysis on the Development Environment of Photovoltaic Power Generation Industry

According to the analysis of the photovoltaic power generation industry, as of the end of 2017, my country's installed capacity of renewable energy power generation reached 0.65 billion kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 14%; among them, the installed capacity of hydropower was 0.341 billion kilowatts, the installed capacity of wind power was 0.164 billion kilowatts, and the installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation was 0.13 billion kilowatts, an increase of 2.7.%, 10.5% and 68.7%, the growth rate of photovoltaic power generation installed capacity was significantly faster than other renewable energy varieties.

 

According to the 13th Five-Year Plan for Solar Energy Development issued by the National Energy Administration, the cumulative installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation in China increased from 0.86GW in 2010 to 77.42GW in 2016, and the new installed capacity in 2016 was 34.54GW. The cumulative installed capacity and annual new installed capacity both rank first, becoming the country with the largest installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation in the world. Affected by multiple factors such as the adjustment of feed-in tariff, the scale of the photovoltaic power generation market expanded rapidly in 2017, with a new installed capacity of 53.06 GW and a cumulative installed capacity of 130 GW.

 

In the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan for Solar Energy Development", other modes of application such as distributed photovoltaic, distributed photovoltaic poverty alleviation, photovoltaic agriculture, photovoltaic fisheries, and building photovoltaic will be developed and constructed as key tasks. Among them, distributed photovoltaic will be the primary development object and occupy an important position in the future energy structure. According to the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan for Energy Development", by the end of 2020, my country's solar power generation installed capacity will reach more than 110GW, of which distributed photovoltaics account for 60GW.

 

By the end of 2017, the country's new installed capacity of distributed photovoltaic power generation was 19.44GW, and the cumulative installed capacity of distributed photovoltaic power generation was 29.66GW, accounting for 22.73 percent of the cumulative total installed capacity, which is far from reaching the target of distributed photovoltaic power generation accounting for 57.14 percent of the cumulative total installed photovoltaic capacity in 2020. In order to encourage the development of distributed photovoltaic, from the central to local governments have issued a series of support policies to achieve the national development plan.

 

With the progress of solar cell structure design, micro-nano laser precision processing and other technologies, the cost of photovoltaic power generation has entered a downward channel, and it is expected to achieve affordable access to the Internet in the future. With the progress of photovoltaic power generation technology, industrial upgrading and rapid expansion of market scale, the cost of photovoltaic power generation continues to decline worldwide, and the cost of photovoltaic power generation has been reduced by about 60% from 2010 to 2015.

 

With the continuous advancement of photovoltaic technology, the cost of photovoltaic power generation is rapidly declining. The price of photovoltaic power generation will be reduced to the level of thermal power generation around 2020, and China is expected to achieve parity on the Internet. The realization of affordable Internet access is a milestone and will further accelerate the development of the photovoltaic industry. The above is the photovoltaic power generation industry development environment analysis of all the content.
