Cost down pv "parity" online will arrive ahead of time

[wind power price now is 0.6 yuan/KWH to 0.7 yuan/KWH, assuming that the photovoltaic components do lowest price, coupled with the inverter, EVA, power stations with further authors on all other equipment, SUNGOLDPOWER photovoltaic (pv) industry of power generation cost is likely to be below the wind power price] online after 2 ~ 3 years

Photovoltaic BBS on 16th, entrepreneurs say now have photovoltaic (pv) can be realized in 28 countries around the world "parity" online. China photovoltaic "parity" online timetable, also with the photovoltaic modules, silicon and polycrystalline silicon photovoltaic products such as price decline, and the overall system is approaching. Approaches to realize the various companies for affordable access to the Internet, however, there are still different views.

Photovoltaic (pv) parity ahead of schedule or on the Internet

So-called parity, surfing the Internet, namely photovoltaics online prices consistent with traditional sources such as coal-burning power plants generate electricity price forming.

Applied materials companies in the United States is responsible for the solar business a top Dr. Charles Gay, said the company in 2010, the statistical results of more than 100 countries around the world show that there are 18 countries reached parity on the Internet, and in 2012 the number was changed to 28 countries. Which is the main reason of the photovoltaic power generation costs have fallen sharply, at present the cost of each component can be dropped below $1 per watt.

Around China's thermal power feed-in tariff according to different situations and different prices, roughly in 0.4 yuan/KWH, others are higher. In contrast, the domestic photovoltaic still more than double the average feed-in tariff cost.

However, our sun chairman su willy, told CBN (microblogging), due to the Tibet local sunlight conditions good (3000 hours per year), even if the region is 0.4 yuan/KWH of electricity price, also have achieved "parity" online. This let us see the domestic photovoltaic "parity" online some light.

Appear in Tibet, the parity of southern Europe and South America to get to the Internet, in the chairman zhengrong shi, suntech solar power inverter (STP. The NYSE) trina solar (TSL. NYSE), chairman of unstoppable, it seems, is the world's photovoltaic industry brought by the production capacity and product prices fell sharply.

"In 2000, the global photovoltaic (pv) installations of 0.27 gigawatts (GW), is 3.5 GW in 2005, at 27, 2011 G, an estimated 2015 annual growth to 40 ~ 50 G. From 2011 to 2015 is an industry consolidation period, the decline of the cost of, make whole parity online ahead of schedule." Unstoppable said.

Hope the government subsidy and market competition

A number of industries that domestic comprehensive implementation schedule of parity, surfing the Internet, could be in 2020 years ago. And for how to implement the "parity", each company has their own opinions.

Shi is clear, the government's assistance is necessary.

"Both in Germany and other European countries, without the support of the government, photovoltaic industry will not get unprecedented development. Policy is coming, the output of photovoltaic products is big, cost is falling fast." Over the past year, the global photovoltaic installation quantity up to 27000 mw, 17000 mw in 2010, compared to the increased by about 60%.

But he also pointed out that "some company with, the government said they can do the component price is $0.5 per watt, but other companies offer digital government is $0.9 / watt." As a result, the government policy making in the future, is likely to be very careful.

However, Shanghai poly constant solar co., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as "poly constant solar") a top said, fierce price competition can make affordable Internet soon, "only through constant technical innovation, make cost cuts, photovoltaic power generation efficiency in qualitative leap, so that all the authors link to make the whole industry chain, create favorable conditions for parity with access to the Internet." If the government gives high subsidies, many enterprises will only rest, will not exert oneself to do research and development. This is unfavorable for the photovoltaic industry itself.

But our CEO Zhang Yize sunshine that parity Internet need are a few conditions: without subsidies, local market is totally free; Region illumination condition is good, every year more than 1200 hours of light; Land and grid conditions are ripe, can electricity from the grid to achieve full recovery. Suppose one in these three conditions can't meet, so affordable online there are challenges.

Sue willy also stressed that China is one of the biggest challenges is the grid is not open. "If this cannot be resolved, then parity short-term in China is can't see the result on the Internet."

Photovoltaic laid down last year, the feed-in tariff is 1 yuan/KWH, part of the western region makes the construction of the photovoltaic power station, due to the price at least 8% of the rate of return can figure, so in the second half of last year as many firms rush, the bidding is extremely warm.

But LDK (LDK. NYSE, hereinafter referred to as "d") President TongXingXue also said that despite the price down very quickly, but the market is irrational, the manufacturer of pressure is very big still, if cheaper Internet is realized in the component on the basis of the sale, so many companies interested in will be greatly reduced.

"At least from the current situation look, photovoltaic (pv) is likely to be below the first wind power feed-in tariff costs." Get constant solar the top that it is a good idea to wind power price is now 0.6 yuan/KWH to 0.7 yuan/KWH, assuming that the photovoltaic components do lowest price, coupled with the inverter, EVA, authors further on all power stations with other equipment and so on, so photovoltaic industry online power generation cost is likely to be in 2 to 3 years less than wind power price online.

"Therefore, as a manufacturer, we hope in the government access to information, companies are generally profitable, realizes the pv parity, surf the Internet." TongXingXue said.
