Wuhan's first PV poverty alleviation projects have been into grid to sell electricity to bring economic benefits more than RMB 50,000 yuan for the villagers

September 15, Yangzhou Gaoyou City, "the first person to sell electricity," Rongchun Feng's personal bank account have been added more than RMB 600 yuan money , thas is his "selling power" to the national grid company's revenue in August this year. Since January 13 his home solar photovoltaic power generation project successfully into the grid, in addition to home electricity confession, he has been selling electricity and net profit more than RMB 4,000 yuan , accounted for earning average monthly about RMB 600 yuan.
Rongchun Feng has another identity - Gaoyou City Environmental Protection Bureau deputy director. It is understood, in September 2013, Rongchun Feng invested nearly RMB 70,000 Yuan to build an area about 47 square meters of home off grid solar system projects, power generation capacity are 7.8 kilowatts. State Grid Gaoyou power company organized personnel to the scene to survey, to help designthe grid solutions, and installed single phase inverters and control smart meter , to calculate the amount of electricity and grid electricity.

As the deputy director of the EPA, Rongchun Feng calculated an account: "If the self residents photovoltaic plant from personal small account to calculate, it will be not a bargain, but from a large photovoltaic account for contribution to environmental protection to calculate, it is very relevance, photovoltaic power generation project generate per 400 kwh of electricity, can reduce 1 ton of carbon emissions a year, my generation projects can  reduce carbon emissions by 36 tons. " 



"PV Loan" Let Villagers "Basking in the Sun to Make Money."

In recent years, photovoltaic power generation in Lin'an City has achieved rapid development. In order to meet the funding requirements of the off grid solar system project and enhance the ability of financial support for supply-side reforms, City Credit Union Ltd and Hangzhou Foster photovoltaic Ltd. to cooperate, launched the "PV loan ", Let more villagers to earn money from basking in the sun become a reality.
In October 2015, Lin'an Credit Union launched "PV-Loan" pilot. Earlier this year, with the municipal government held a distributed PV power promoting meeting, increased the "Photovoltaic Loan" promotional efforts. The loans took the form of a "zero down payment" "zero monthly" for households to install rooftop solar power plant provide financial support, and to give preferential interest rates, all perform the benchmark interest rate. The Household simply need the list of installation expenses provided by the Foster company will be able to loan without providing proof of other assets.After installation, the grid generation electricity can be sold to the State Grid Corporation, generating revenue to repay the loan by year, but also get subsidies from all levels of national, provincial, municipal each year. Taking into account the grid tariff revenue and subsidy income lag, "PV loan" first loan maturity date of the loan at the end of the year served the next year, divided into 10-year return. After paying off the loan, generating income and subsidies will be for the installation households . It is estimated that the average household annual power generation are about 3600 degrees, can produce about RMB 4,000 yuan in revenue.
 "PV-Loan" be pushed out, for rural credit cooperatives, the measure is in response to government strong support for the healthy development of photovoltaic industry, but also a business model innovation, is a good carrier for developing new customers; for the people, installing home portable solar generator system do not need to spend a penny of their own, equivalent to more than a long-term, stable source of income; for the government and society, it created a "new energy + new Countryside" innovation mode, for saving energy and reducing row, improve energy structure and natural environment plays an important role, is a good thing for country and benefit people, win-win situation. It is reported that the association plans to deliver 2000 households in 2016 full-year.




PV Power Generation Can Reduce Emissions 36 tons One Year

September 15, Yangzhou Gaoyou City, "the first person to sell electricity," Rongchun Feng's personal bank account have been added more than RMB 600 yuan money , thas is his "selling power" to the national grid company's revenue in August this year.

villagers spend RMB 800 thousand to build rooftop solar power system, they said it’s reliable than collect rent

There are 3 houses here, but rental are nearly 40 rooms, he can also living a comfortable life through collect rent, but Tim still spend RMB 800 thousand to build a solar power system, he figured that it is more reliable by selling electricity return than collect rent. Self-build power plant grid-connected to the grid and selling
“this is the most reliable thing I have ever done.” He mean to spend 800 thousand yuan to built roof photovoltaic power generation system.
Tim’s lives in Teng village, There are 3 houses here, but rental are nearly 40 rooms, “our village is a little bit far from the city, it’s not easy to rent out the house, only three or four thousand yuan he can get per month.” He said.
In the end of last year, he have saw other people in the near village built a solar PV power generation system in their own roof. To be simply speaking, it’s just use the utilized space, and it’s equivalent to selling electricity. When other’s “power station” start to operation for a few days, he think it’s very tricky, and he find the same person that responsible for the construction of other’s plant, and start to design for his own.
When his “power station” test by the electricity sector, it is already running two weeks. His roof are widen, it can stand two rows of PV panels, and reached 64 kilowatts of capacity, couple with PV modules, two inverters, DC cables, steel frame, connector, spray cleaning systems, and reconstruction of houses, etc. he spend nearly RMB 800 thousand for the whole construction,  the solar power system are RMB 600 thousand yuan, it can be used at least 20 years.
When Dave view the functioning of this system, he said for the self-built individual solar photovoltaic systems, you need to make an application first, and when the electricity sector agreed, they will give you some guidance, after the completion of the network and then tested grid-connected running, “"In the beginning you need to consider more than personal use of the excess electricity is sold or all sold, which also determines the ability to enjoy the preferential national policy level." Said by Dave, Tim and other people are the same, they connected all the electricity grid, and they also need to pay for their own used electricity, “the cost of off grid solar system are about 0.6yuan per unit, and their own used electricity are 0.5yuan per unit,” they cannot consume all power, so they need to purchase storage battery, and the battery life is relatively short, so the running cost are also higher.
One-time investment can be back for six or seven years

Dave introduced, self-built solar photovoltaic systems not only enjoy the subsidized of the province, city, and country, but also sold to nation’s grid after grid connected, the price is RMB1yuan per unit, his system can generate 4000 degree power per a half month, 8000 degree in a month, that means he can get 8000 per month, conservative speaking, he can get RMB 100 thousand per year, and combined with 60 kilowatts capacity, he can also get RMB 120 thousand subsidy from province and city. That’s to say One-time investment can be back for six or seven years. And Tim also agreed and said: “That’s certainly reliable than collect rent.”
  Yesterday, Tim made the electricity generated by solar panels to directly connected to his first floor, and through a small inverter to converts for two place light using, “I will charge to my electric car when I don’t need illumination, and the battery can also store.” If you need to used the storage electricity in daily life, the only thing you need it to buy a transformer and connected to electric car.







Hubei’s first “PV poverty alleviation” project grid-connected generation

612 PV panels are arranged evenly in abandoned threshing floor, connect the inverter insert to grid by a wire. Recently. In Wuhai city, the first “PV poverty alleviation” project- Huangpi village are formally grid-connected PV power plants.

Like such fine weather, strong light, the power station can generate 300 degrees per day, revenue are more than 330yuan. The leader said, this off grid solar system cover a area of 1.7 acres, installed capacity of 400 thousand kilowatts, the annual generating capacity of 50,000 degrees. In accordance with the relevant policies, the farmers distributed grid-connected PV systems produce electricity total price are 1.25 yuan / kwh (including tax), it is calculate that in this village, the PV energy conservative earnings of RMB 60 thousand yuan per year, the service life of 25 years.
The power supply company director told reporters, now they have give priority to 88 poor villages in power grid upgrading, they plans to implement “PV poverty alleviation” project, and strive to make the annual income of each poor village up to 10 million, 30% of the proceeds will be given to family that have no labor, no resources, no steady source of income.
According to the charge person in Hubei introduced they plan to implement the poverty alleviation projects in the areas with appropriate condition during 2016 to 2019 years.

New energy industry have faces the trade frictions

In the tenth China New Energy International forum held recently, trade remedy investigations bureau, deputy director of the Ministry of Commerce Tom pointed out that as the representative of new PV, energy industry is a sunrise industry of this century. However, China’s off grid solar system interdependency are up to 65% on the foreign market. it is destined that the road is not easy to go through.

Tom introduced, in recent years, global energy market are continued to differentiation, adjustment, China’s new energy industry trade friction features are as follows: on the one hand, there are huge trade friction in the main export market, such as USA, EU, Canada, Australia and other countries have start a remedy investigation for our PV products, some other domestic industry in the major exporting market is also seeking trade protection, not only for the PV cell and module products, but also related to wind energy products. On the other hand, in the course of trade friction, there are many discriminatory rules and practices in the anti-dumping, anti-subsidy investigations, so that China's photovoltaic enterprises are facing greater challenges in dealing with trade friction.Tom said, after unremitting persistence and pragmatic response of the parties, there have been some positive changes for our PV’s environment. First, some trade remedy cases should support the foreign markets. Second, to expand the market. Third, many companies are actively seeking to "go global", and constantly improve international distribution of products production and marketing, not only reduce the negative impact of foreign trade friction of Chinese enterprises, but also reverse the passive situation of the whole trade friction. At the same time, by the efforts of relevant department, the domestic PV market are continue to expand, it create a favorable conditions for China’s PV industry out of the woods.
Tom think our new energy industry will continue to face a high trend of trade friction, it will also face the challenge of intellectual property rights, technical trade barriers, corporate social responsibility and other related issues. China’s new energy industry healthy and sustainable development, effective implementation of the new energy industry innovation, the enterprises are actively carry out the following tasks: to vigorously promote the reform of the supply side, to realize the upgrade from price competition to quality, service and innovation competition.



In the next five years, Chinese PV will take the “Tour East” road

"The total installed capacity of PV development in western China accounts for about 70% of the total capacity, while the Middle-East only account for 30%.” On 26th in Beijing, The deputy director of China National Energy Administration of New Energy Liang zhipeng said, “Tour East” will taken as the development direction of China’s PV during “Thirteen Five” period.
Liang Zhipeng held the in 2016 China PV case statements leaders Forum. He think that the presence of Chinese PV “West in East and Strong in West” phenomenon, and the imbalance development of geographical area resulting "abandoned light brownouts." in many areas.
China’s National Development and Reform Commission (hereinafter referred to as "NDRC") officials Houshou Li presented at the forum, in 2015, China’s abandoned light rate are 11%, Gansu and Xinjiang abandoned light rate are as high as 31% and 26%, “those problems have a greater impact to the income of western solar power system.” in addition, the severe brownout conditions for Western PV power generation project is also an important factor in increasing returns obstacles.“ ‘Thirteen Five’ focus on the development of China Middle East area’s distributed PV generation.” NDRC international Energy Research Institute deputy director Baijun said, in western investment, construction of PV power plant’s heat and focused point should shifted to the east, we should further improve the distributed energy system in eastern regions. “the Western electricity consumptive capacity are not as much as Eastern, Middle-East are consumer center, there are huge market capacity of electric power.”
Liang Zhipeng gives a specific method for “Tour East,” that is through electricity price reforms, in terms of price transmission, to give a preferential condition for distributed photovoltaic power plants, so that shift the West centralized PV power plant to East distributed PV power plant.
Some people believe that, in addition to “ Tour East”, in the China’s PV industry, they need to establish a unified plan from the top-level design of PV electricity. Thus speeding up the PV electricity inter-regional channel construction and improve the delivery capacity of PV power industry during the “Thirteen Five” upgrade.
The data shows that, in the end of “Twelve Five”, China’s total PV installed capacity reached 43.18 million kilowatts, it’s the first time to exceed Germany and ranking No.1 in the world.






Innovation-driven transformation and upgrading of the photovoltaic industry

On the Chinese PV leaders forum held on April 26, Deputy Director of the National Energy Board new Secretary Liang Zhipeng said the transformation and upgrading of the photovoltaic industry will innovate from technologies, applications, financing, marketing, and management policies. He said, technological innovation is fundamental, during the “Thirteen Five” period, the basic task for PV industry development are technological progress and industrial upgrading. MIIT have taken the PV manufacturing as part of intelligent manufacturing demonstration projects.
  In the application innovation aspect, PV applications has penetrated into all walks of life, including industrial applications, combined with agriculture, and fish farming. In the investment, financing and innovation aspect, PV needs money. Currently industry is facing difficulties in financing problem. We hope that through innovations in this area, it will reduced the cost of PV applications.
  Liang zhipeng said, he hope more distributed solar power system can be apply. But also want to directly trade with distributed PV user, through electricity reform, in the power transmission aspect, they will give a more favorable price conditions, and making the eastern and central regions distributed photovoltaic greater development.
  In addition, the policies are the main way to promote PV industry. Currently the PV subsidies are not in place, there are also some restrictions on electricity issues. For the problem of subsidies not in place, Liang zhipeng said, the NDRC, Ministry of Finance and the National Energy Board are actively find a way to solve. For the problem encountered in the on-grid PV power generation, it will increase the intensity of the electricity reform, and actively promote through market-oriented means.

Anhui Zhongguan township have completed household PV power plants and power generation task



April 26, Zhongguan township completed household PV power plants and power generation task, nearly 291 poor household have enjoyed a stable and reliable source of income.
In the early stage, because the duration of the construction team arrangement and other reasons, the development of on-grid household PV power plant in Zhongguan township are slow, upon this issue, the township party committee and government have taking some measures to actively promote the on-grid working.
  Firstly, strengthen the liability of insurance. Implement the leader’s responsibility, each leader are responsible for coordinating the construction of environment, concrete on-grid task  implementation of village famers.
  Secondly, strengthen supervision schedule. Led by the leaders, people in charge of comrades and comrades Poverty Alleviation Office, supervision of construction progress by the village, to feedback the information through weChat and QQ.
  Third, strengthen consultation issues. Many rural have tried many times to solve the problems occurred in the process of on-grid generation with sun power companies, small Hydro power company consultation, negotiation and power generation.
  In the late stage, the township and village will strengthen the contraction with power supply companies and their department, and focus on household maintenance and management of power plants, so that this measures will help poor household get out of poverty.

The cost of solar PV and return cycle For household

Whether household PV be useful or not, depend on three points: PV power plant investment cost, profit margins, return period, the profit also involves subsidies for PV energy board policy, The basic photovoltaic subsidies in 2014 nationwide view are about 0.42-1.2 yuan / kWh, according to Bureau of Energy-related messages in subsidies, it should be increase in 2015, the domestic PV market will enter a new peak.
  The users in the domestic household PV power generation are concentrated in residential villa community, one has a more ample roof area for the installation of photovoltaic power plants, second is that the economic conditions is relatively good, although these conditions are met, but the user will always count one by one, how much to invest for the initial installation of a household PV plant?  How many years to return? It is cost-effective? Firstly, whether in household or commercial PV power plant cost, it both calculated in units per watt, which means the greater power will relatively reduced the single-watt cost, second is to see the PV module brand selected by installers, and different brand have a certain discrepancy, here is the introduction for the cost of household PV generation, the roof villa are usually about 20-50 square, it can be installed 2-5 kilowatts of PV power plants, according to the conventional market price ranging from 8-10 yuan 1W substantially, So that users can easily calculate the area of a roof according to their initial installation cost of solar power system plants; and the next is the cost recovery period, this is also related with the size of power station, according the estimate of family 3-5 PV power plants, the cost recovery are about five years.

California start to build the world’s largest solar power station.

A cost of $4 billion, the design capacity of more than 1000 megawatts of solar power stations are build in Southern California Blythe on 17th. It is expected to be completed in 2017. The developers and government of California said: the scale of this solar power plant is the world’s largest one.
US secretary of the interior while attending the commencement ceremony, he said the Bryce solar power station will be the United States’ “milestone” in development of renewable energy. It shows that the United States is working in the renewable energy field for this future technology leadership. Through the development of renewable energy, the US can not only guarantee energy security, but also create jobs.
Blythe off grid solar system plant covers an area of about 2800 hectares, built in the desert land. It is a huge concave mirror array by converting sunlight into heat heating steam to drive turbines to generate electricity. The developers, “Solar Trust of USA,” said: the project will be constructed in two phases, each phase of works installed capacity is 500 MW, after completed, the produced power can be enough for 750000 homes.
Solar power depends not only the sun, but also take up a huge land resources, and in southern California the sun is sufficient, there are a lot of low commercial value desert land, which is suitable for the development of solar power stations. Earlier, the vicinity has built nine small-scale solar power plants with a total installed capacity of 354 MW, as well as in the construction of a solar power plant installed capacity of 370 MW. The Blythe solar power plant installed capacity are close to a nuclear power plant.
Since participate in the commencement ceremony, California Governor Brown said: the California government plans to take the renewable energy accounted for 30% of all energy consumed in California by 2020. The construction of Blythe solar power plant in California have made an important step to achieve this goal.
