How to promote solar PV installation in China?

Since 2009, the Chinese government has taken a series of measures to promote solar PV installation in China. In March 2009, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development initiated the first national PV program to subsidize BIPV systems larger than 50 kWp with 0.2 RMB/Wp (equivalent to 0.12–0.20 RMB/kWh).

How much solar power will China have by 2015?

Five years later, the 12th Five-Year Plan for Solar Power Development (12th Five-Year Plan hereafter), released by the China National Energy Administration, set a new goal of achieving a solar power capacity of 21 GWp by 2015 . This goal was further raised to 35 GWp by the China State Council in July, 2013 (Fig. 1).

Will risen build a 15 GW solar module factory?

Risen is planning to build a 15 GW solar cell and module factory in the Zhejiang province. Two Chinese solar module manufacturers, Risen Energy and Trina Solar, have unveiled first-of-a kind 500 W, 50-cell PV modules. How will the advent of 500 W PV modules change the solar industry?

Will a 500 watt solar system be a good idea?

The hope for residential installers pv magazine spoke with was that the technologies used to get modules to 500 W will eventually trickle down to their 60-cell, lower output brethren. That could mean residential installations would be able to take up less roofspace while providing more power, ultimately driving down balance-of-system costs.

How much does solar power cost in China?

In particular, in the economically developed eastern provinces (e.g. Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Guangdong etc.), the PV electricity (mainly BIPV) is 0.67–0.86 RMB/kWh. The cost of LSPV stations ranges from 0.45 to 0.75 RMB/kWh, lower than the BIPV system owing to the scale effect and the strong solar radiation.

How much will PV electricity cost in China by 2015?

According to our analysis, if electricity prices of the provinces remain unchanged, the cost of PV electricity could be reduced to 0.52–1.22 RMB/kWh by 2015, which is comparable with the grid prices in regions with large PV capacity and high electricity prices, such as Guangdong, Beijing, and Shanghai.
