Photovoltaic is a photovoltaic industry.

Photovoltaic industry, abbreviated as PV. 76% of China's land has abundant sunlight, and the distribution of light energy resources is relatively uniform. Compared with hydropower, wind power, nuclear power, etc., solar power generation does not have any emissions and noise, and the application technology is mature, safe and reliable.

In addition to large-scale grid-connected power generation and off-grid applications, solar energy can also be stored through pumping, superconductivity, batteries, hydrogen production and other methods, and solar + storage can almost meet China's stable energy demand in the future. Solar energy is the cleanest, safe and reliable energy in the future, developed countries are taking the development and utilization of solar energy as the main content of the energy revolution long-term planning, photovoltaic industry is increasingly becoming the international following IT, microelectronics industry after another development of the industry.

The development trend of China's photovoltaic industry is: the photovoltaic industry has entered a period of steady growth, and the number of enterprises has increased rapidly, and China will open the first year of carbon neutrality in 2021 under the background of "carbon neutrality" becoming a global proposition. Since the beginning of the 21st century, China's photovoltaic industry has experienced four stages: start-up, development, recession and recovery, and has entered a period of steady growth, and has now become the world's largest country in terms of new installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation.

China's photovoltaic industry has achieved leapfrog development from scratch and from existence to strength. In terms of policy, since entering the first year of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, favorable policies for the photovoltaic industry have been intensively introduced: from 2021 to 2022 alone, China has introduced more than 10 support policies to encourage the development and innovation of the photovoltaic industry.

At the same time, the state's financial support for renewable energy has also been further increased. The National Standing Committee held on May 11 announced that 50 billion yuan of renewable energy subsidies would be allocated to ** power generation enterprises in the early stage. The issuance of 50 billion renewable energy subsidy funds approved by the first domestic government will greatly ease the capital turnover pressure of photovoltaic enterprises, and the photovoltaic industry will usher in heavy development.

China's new PV installations; China's cumulative grid-connected PV capacity; China's photovoltaic power generation accounts for the proportion of social electricity consumption.

Supply – The production of solar cells is increasing year by year

Since 2011, the scale of solar cell production in China has increased steadily. According to statistics from the China Photovoltaic Association, China's cell production in 2021 was 198GW, up from 135GW in 2020. In the first half of 2022, domestic cell production increased year-on-year.

Supply – PV module production is growing rapidly

Single solar cells cannot be used directly as a power supply, and several single cells must be connected in series, in parallel and tightly packaged into components. Solar modules (also called solar panels) are the core part of the solar power system and the most important part of the solar power system.

Driven by the growth of global PV demand, domestic enterprises have continued to increase investment and technological innovation in the module sector in recent years, and production costs have continued to decline in the past 10 years, and the degree of automation and digitalization has been continuously improved. According to statistics from the China Photovoltaic Association, in 2021, China's module production reached 182GW, a year-on-year increase, dominated by crystalline silicon modules. In the first half of 2022, domestic module production reached a year-on-year increase.

Demand – China's new PV capacity fluctuates widely

According to the statistics of the National Energy Administration, in 2017, the new installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation in China hit a record high. In 2018, affected by the new photovoltaic 531 policy, the new photovoltaic power generation projects in various regions have declined, and the new installed capacity for the whole year is 17% year-on-year. Affected by national subsidies and financial support for the photovoltaic industry, the installed capacity of photovoltaic will rebound sharply in 2020 and 2021.

In 2020, the newly installed PV capacity in China increased by 59% year-on-year. In 2021, China's new PV installed capacity reached a new high, reaching a year-on-year increase of 14%. From January to September 2022, China's cumulative new PV capacity was added, a year-on-year increase of 106%.

Demand - The cumulative grid-connected capacity of PV has reached 100 million kilowatts

As of the third quarter of 2022, China's cumulative grid-connected photovoltaic power generation capacity has reached 100 million kilowatts, including 10,000 kilowatts of centralized photovoltaic power stations and 10,000 kilowatts of distributed photovoltaic power.

The proportion of photovoltaic power generation in the whole society's electricity consumption is increasing year by year

With the continuous improvement of the urbanization rate and the electrification level of urban and rural residents, as well as the new round of rural power grid transformation and upgrading, and the vigorous promotion of "coal to electricity" for residential heating, especially under the effect of temperature factors, the rapid growth of heating load in winter and cooling load in summer has driven the rapid growth of electricity consumption of urban and rural residents in the spring. As a kind of renewable clean energy, with the continuous improvement of China's electricity consumption, the demand for power generation will also continue to grow, and the demand for photovoltaic power generation will gradually expand. From 2014 to 2022, the proportion of China's photovoltaic power generation in the whole society's electricity consumption has increased year by year, reaching the proportion in 2021 and the first three quarters of 2022.

In the future, photovoltaic power generation is expected to become one of the important engines to promote China's energy transformation.
