The government is making more efforts in PV consumption

A few days ago, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development jointly issued a document saying that it will further improve the application policy of renewable energy buildings and adjust the distribution and management of funds, so as to promote the introduction of new energy products such as solar energy into public facilities and households, and further amplify the effect of policies on the application of renewable energy buildings. .

According to the notice, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development will give priority to supporting the promotion of mature technologies such as solar thermal applications, start and implement a series of key projects, and tilt the financial subsidy funds to rural areas, public welfare buildings and affordable housing, and support related Local promotion of solar desalination technology. Encourage provinces to prioritize the implementation of key project implementation content when preparing implementation plans. These projects include solar-powered bathroom projects, energy-saving solar housing projects, and rural passive solar heating projects.

The notice made it clear that in some regions where renewable energy resources are abundant, application basic conditions are good, and supporting policies are implemented, the concentration of continual promotion efforts will be further increased. The move by the two ministries and commissions is hardly reminiscent of the anti-dumping investigation on photovoltaics in China that the EU has just launched. This investigation may cause China's PV companies to suffer catastrophe.

For a long time, the most plagued China's photovoltaic industry is two things: First, there are two raw materials and terminal demand, Chinese companies are only responsible for assembly and production, so in the exporting countries to China's "double reaction" appears very passive; on the other hand Observing domestic demand, the price of a photovoltaic power generation is still too high, and it must rely on government subsidies before it can be launched. Second, the soft environment for domestic photovoltaic consumption, including grid access, institutional arrangements for distributed energy sources, etc., are not in place. Large-scale photovoltaic power plants are also subject to environmental pollution and photoconsumption, and the market is difficult to open. In this dilemma, China's photovoltaic industry may encounter deep reshuffles and eliminate a batch of production capacity.

The two ministries and commissions issued a statement that they will further improve the policy of renewable energy building applications, and hope to make more efforts in photovoltaic consumption, to break through the technical and institutional bottlenecks encountered in the past in China's distributed energy. At present, the relevant companies have encountered difficulties and even bankruptcy in large areas and should be expected.
