Photovoltaic industry refers to the use of solar power industry. In recent years, the photovoltaic industry has experienced rapid development and has become an important part of the global new energy industry. The following will introduce the development of photovoltaic industry panorama and market outbreak trend.
Panorama of photovoltaic industry
The development of the photovoltaic industry can be traced back to the 1950 s, but it was not until the 1990 s that it began to enter the commercialization stage. With the continuous progress of technology and the continuous decline of cost, photovoltaic power generation has gradually become a competitive clean energy.
At present, China is the world's largest photovoltaic market and production country. According to the International Energy Agency, the world's new PV installed capacity reached 118 GW in 2019, of which China's new installed capacity accounted for 30.1GW, accounting for 25.4 percent of the global total. In addition, Europe, the Americas and other parts of Asia are also developing rapidly in the photovoltaic industry.
Market outbreak trend
1. Cost reduction: With the continuous advancement of technology and the gradual development of scale effects, the cost of photovoltaic power generation has dropped significantly. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency, the cost of photovoltaic power generation has fallen by about 80% in the past decade. This makes photovoltaic power generation gradually become an important force in competition with traditional energy.
2. Policy support: Governments have introduced policies and measures to support the development of the photovoltaic industry, such as subsidy policies, tax incentives and renewable energy quota systems. The introduction of these policies has provided a good development environment for the photovoltaic industry and promoted the rapid growth of the market.
3. Intelligent upgrading: with the development of artificial intelligence, big data and Internet of things, the intelligent degree of photovoltaic power generation system is constantly improving. Intelligent upgrading can improve the efficiency and reliability of photovoltaic systems, reduce operation and maintenance costs, and promote the large-scale application of photovoltaic power generation.
Energy storage technology breakthrough: a bottleneck of photovoltaic power generation is the problem of energy storage. However, with the continuous breakthrough of energy storage technology and the decrease of cost, such as lithium ion battery, flow battery, etc., the energy storage problem of photovoltaic power generation system will be effectively solved, and the development of photovoltaic industry will be further promoted.
Distributed power generation: Distributed photovoltaic power generation refers to the installation of photovoltaic systems on the roof, walls or ground of buildings to meet local electricity demand. Distributed photovoltaic power generation has the advantages of high flexibility and short construction period, and has gradually become an important development direction of the photovoltaic industry.
