Q
Securities Daily Reporter: What are the positive impacts of promoting the use of unused land such as Gobi, desert, and wasteland for photovoltaic projects?
Xu Biao
Executive Director, Greater China, Frost & Sullivan
Promoting the construction of photovoltaic projects using unused land such as Gobi, desert, and wasteland can reduce the project construction cost and enhance economic efficiency. At the same time, it also has a positive effect on improving the local ecology and developing additional industries.
The land prices in unused areas such as the Gobi, deserts, and wastelands are low, and there are basically no costs related to demolition. Promoting the construction of large photovoltaic power generation projects using these unused lands is conducive to improving the economic viability of photovoltaic projects.
Building photovoltaic projects in unused lands such as the Gobi, desert, and wasteland can also bring about significant additional ecological and industrial value. Photovoltaic panels can block excessive sunlight from ground plants, effectively reducing surface water evaporation and lowering the amount of evaporation.30%Left and right, and it can also effectively reduce ground wind speed.
Therefore, photovoltaic projects can improve the local climate, increase soil moisture and nutrients, and enhance species diversity. At the same time, they can also play a good role in preventing wind erosion and stabilizing sand, effectively regulating the thermal balance of the surface. Photovoltaic projects can also integrate and develop various forms of industries, such as organic agriculture and forestry.
Q
Reporter from Securities Daily: What policy support is needed for the development of offshore photovoltaic industries? In which areas does a company's core competitiveness mainly manifest?
Xu Biao
Executive Director, Greater China, Frost & Sullivan
At present, offshore photovoltaics have not reached the investment return standard without subsidies. The promotion of the offshore photovoltaic industry still requires financial support. In addition, policies regarding land use for offshore projects, supporting facilities, and power consumption are also important supports for the promotion of the offshore photovoltaic industry.
The core competitiveness of enterprises developing offshore photovoltaic projects is reflected in the project site selection. How to choose a development location with low climate risks, complete support policies such as subsidies and land for sea use during the construction period largely determines the overall economic viability of the project. A good site selection can also reduce damage to power generation facilities caused by corrosion, waves, etc., to a greater extent during the operation phase, thereby generating electricity more efficiently.
Q
Reporter from Securities Daily: In terms of developing a new energy system, where is the future development pattern and innovation breakthrough point for the photovoltaic power generation industry?
Xu Biao
Executive Director, Greater China, Frost & Sullivan
One of the important future development patterns for the photovoltaic power generation industry is the accelerated development of distributed photovoltaics.2021New photovoltaic installations in China in 20XX54.9 GW, including newly added distributed photovoltaic installations29.3 GWProportion53.3%For the first time, it has exceeded the centralized photovoltaic installation scale. In the future, distributed photovoltaics will become the main force in the development of the photovoltaic industry.
The innovation breakthrough points of the photovoltaic power generation industry mainly focus on: at the manufacturing end, accelerating the development of large-size silicon wafers andTOPCon,HJTThe research and development of high-efficiency solar cells such as perovskites, as well as breakthroughs in components, are underway. In terms of development and operation, it is necessary to break through key technologies for intelligent photovoltaic energy storage, develop photovoltaics and supporting energy storage systems in coordination, stabilize photovoltaic power generation fluctuations, and enhance their support capacity for new power systems.
