Ministry of information and industry promoted the PV transformation

Yesterday, reporters learned from the Ministry of information and industry, the "intelligent manufacturing photovoltaic industry seminar" guided by the Ministry of Industry and Electronic Information Division and China Photovoltaic Industry Association will held on April 7. The meeting pointed out the low-end production of our PV industry, and it is now facing the overcapacity, poor profitability. And they had a new objective guidance to accelerate PV manufacturing intelligence, networking, they have laid the foundation to participate in international competition in the future.   All along, China’s off grid solar system industry are located on the top of the world. During “second five” period, the diversified development pattern of PV power generation are continue to deepen. The statistics shows that last year, China’s new PV generator installation of about 15 billion watts, an increase of more than 40%, while the while the country's total installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation reached about 43 billion watts, it overtake Germany and became the largest installed capacity country in the global PV cumulating.
   In order to encourage the healthy development of PV industry, since July 2013, the “Opinions of the State Council on the photovoltaic industry healthy development” began, the relevant state departments have gradually released their support to PV industry. Among them, the most obvious effect of the support by the Ministry of Finance, State Administration of Taxation jointly issued “the advise for the solar power system VAT policy,” which clearly notified since October 1, 2013 to December 31, 2015, for the use of solar energy produced electricity products sales by the taxpayer, to carry out refunded immediately 50% VAT.
   Despite the introduction of the policy to pave the way with dense, but currently, our solar electric generator industry still faces a series of hard problems. The first problem is the lack of research into the short board. Through independent research and innovation, despite some of the PV manufacturers have reach lower labor cost production line of more than 70%, the profitable have been improved. But the overall weak basic research industry trend is not reversed, at the time of market expansion, the experienced technical upgrade power is shortage, and became a bigger and stronger constraint to the PV industry.
