54、h at the 75th United Nations General Assembly,to achieve carbon peak by 2030 and carbon neutralization by 2060.In March 2021,the central financial and Economic Commission put forward the basic idea of building a new power system with new energy as the main body,which is to build a clean,low-carbon,s

55、afe and efficient energy system,implement renewable energy substitution actions,deepen power system reform and build a new power system with new energy as the main body.On March 12,2020,Xinhua News Agency announced the outline of the 14th-Five-Year-Plan for Chinas national economic and social develo

56、pment and the long-term objectives for 2035.According to the plan,nine clean energy bases and four offshore wind power bases will be developed during the 14th-Five-Year-Plan period.Looking forward to 2022,Chinas new photovoltaic installed capacity is expected to be between 85GW and 100GW,and the ins

57、talled capacity trend is stable.From a domestic perspective,the scale of various sectors of the industry has grown steadily,the export value and export volume have both increased,the amount of photovoltaic power generation has increased,and the rate of waste light has decreased.In 2021,the market sh

58、are of half-chip module was about 86.5%,with a year-on-year increase of 15.5 percentage points.The efficiency of n-type modules such as TOPCon and HJT was improved,which further improved the module power.According to statistics,compared with PERC,the efficiency of n-type modules is increased about 1

59、%on average,and the power is increased by 15W-20W for the same size.In 2020,the penetration rate of bifacial modules was 29.7%.In 2021,with the recognition of the application for the power generation gain of bifacial modules and the impact of the exemption of 201 tariff of bifacial modules from the

60、United States,the bifacial module market increased by 7.7 percentage points to 37.4%compared with 2020.It is estimated that it will reach about 50%in 2023,becoming a mainstream component packaging technology.Direct support policies for PV installations Since September 2020,when China put forward the

61、 goal of carbon peaking and carbon neutralization,China has successively defined the target of the proportion of non fossil energy in energy consumption at the main time points,which will be more than 20%,25%and 80%in 2025,2030 and 2060 respectively.The National Energy Administration proposed in Mar

62、ch 2021 that the development direction of new energy is to achieve large-scale,high proportion,market-oriented and high-quality development.Three main quantitative indicators are proposed in the 14th Task 1 National Survey Report of PV Power Applications in China 15 Five Year Plan renewable energy d

63、evelopment plan:the installed capacity of renewable energy accounts for more than 50%of the total installed power,the proportion of renewable energy increment in the total electricity consumption increment exceeds 50%,and the proportion of renewable energy increment in the primary energy consumption

64、 increment exceeds 50%.The document of renewable energy consumption guarantee mechanism in 2021 reflects the constraint of responsibility weight and the guidance of responsibility sharing.In May 2021,the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration issued the Not

65、ice on Responsibility Weights and Related Matters of Renewable Energy Electricity Consumption in 2021(FGNY 2021 No.704),which clarifies the mechanism for issuing responsibility weights of provinces on an annual basis.This document also reflects the guidance of sharing responsibility for renewable en

66、ergy consumption,and will gradually narrow the difference of weight indicators among regions.Vigorously promote the development of photovoltaic bases,and actively promote the construction of large-scale wind power,photovoltaic bases focusing on desert,Gobi and desert regions.In November 2021,the Nat

67、ional Energy Administration announced the first batch of large base projects,with a scale of about 97GW.By the end of 2021,the construction scale was about 70GW.Self-consumption measures Table 10:Summary of self-consumption regulations for small private PV systems in 2021 PV self-consumption 1 Right

71、021 is the first year that,except for household,photovoltaic generation is fully realized without subsidies.Therefore,the provincial energy competent department will organize the implementation of bidding for the projects with guaranteed grid connection in 2021,and the project development owners and

72、 grid prices will be competitively allocated in the Notice on Matters Related to the New Energy Grid Price Policy in 2021(FGJG 2021 No.833),and then only the project development owners will be competitively allocated.In 2021,the state will continue to support household photovoltaic in the form of el

73、ectricity subsidy in accordance with the principle of payment based on income.The electricity subsidy standard determined by the national price authority is 0.03 yuan/kWh.In October 2021,the Notice on Further Deepening the Marketization Reform of the Feed in Tariff for Coal fired Power Generation wa

74、s issued.There are four points involved in photovoltaic power generation.First,the current benchmark price for coal fired power generation continues to serve as the linkage basis for the formation of new energy power generation and other prices,which means that the new regulations will not affect th

75、e stock of photovoltaic power generation and the price of guaranteed purchased electricity for newly arranged incremental projects in 2021.Second,expand the fluctuation range of the market transaction price.If photovoltaic power generation goes to the medium and long-term transaction market price,th

76、e fluctuation range will become larger,and if it goes to the spot price,it will not be affected(because the medium and long-term price fluctuation range becomes larger,it will affect the spot market price on the other hand).Third,cancel the industrial and commercial catalog sales electricity price,w

77、hich will affect the income of the self-consumption part of distributed photovoltaic,that is,the income of the self-use part will change.Fourth,keeping the price of electricity for residents and agriculture stable means that the household photovoltaic benefits and policies remain unchanged.In 2021,t

78、he photovoltaic power generation market increased on a large scale,and the new installed capacity increased from 48.2GW in 2020 to 54.88GW.It is expected that the scale of photovoltaic market in 2022 will continue to increase significantly on the basis of 2021.Task 1 National Survey Report of PV Pow

79、er Applications in China 17 Other utility-scale measures including floating and agricultural PV Energy storage has gradually become the standard configuration of wind power and photovoltaic power stations.As of September 2021,each province has issued a competitive configuration scheme,and at least 1

80、4 provinces have proposed the requirements for energy storage configuration.To sum up,all provinces basically require photovoltaic power stations to be equipped with 5%20%power and 12h electrochemical energy storage.Moreover,the configuration requirements are constantly improving.For example,Shandon

81、g required 10%*2h energy storage configuration in 2020,and increased it to 20%*2h in 2021.August 2021,the Notice on Encouraging Renewable Energy Power Generation Enterprises to Build or Purchase Peak shaving Capacity to Increase the Scale of Grid Connection issued by the two ministries and commissio

82、ns put forward that in the part of market-oriented scale,15%20%*4-hour chemical energy storage system should be configured.In 2021,in the centralized photovoltaic,the floating and photovoltaic agricultural photovoltaic complementation accounted for a large proportion.For example,Zhejiang Wenzhou Tai

83、han 550MW fishing optical complementary project,which was connected to the grid in December,is the largest single power station.The project covers an area of about 4.7 square kilometers.Combining fishery breeding with photovoltaic power generation,the project can generate electricity on the upper si

84、de and fish on the lower side.After grid connection,the average annual power generation will reach 650 million kWh,and the installed capacity of clean energy power generation in Wenzhou power grid will increase by about 26%.Guangdong Luoding 500MW agricultural photovoltaic project is the largest sin

85、gle agricultural optical complementary project.It uses over 6.67 square kilometers of barren hills and slopes and general agricultural land for development and construction.In August 2022,the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other five departments jointly issued the Action Plan fo

86、r Accelerating the Green and Low Carbon Innovative Development of Electric Equipment.According to the plan,we will promote the integrated construction of BIPV in new plants and public buildings;support the combined development of agriculture(animal husbandry)and PV,fishery and PV,and encourage the d

87、evelopment of photovoltaic power stations in desert,gobi,barren mountain,coastal beach,coal mining subsidence area,mine waste dump and other areas.Social Policies 3.7.1 PV Poverty Alleviation In March 2018,the Ministry of Finance,the National Development and Reform Commission,the National Energy Adm

88、inistration,and the State Council Office of Poverty Alleviation issued the Notice on the Announcement of the Supplementary Renewable Energy Tariffs(PV Poverty Alleviation Project).The eligible PV poverty alleviation projects will be included in the catalogue of renewable energy tariffs.Task 1 Nation

89、al Survey Report of PV Power Applications in China 18 In 2020,the established policy was maintained.As the last year of Poverty Alleviation,The official website of the Poverty Alleviation Office of the State Council released the latest progress of recent key poverty alleviation work,which summarized

90、 the national poverty alleviation work as of March 20,and highly affirmed the key role of photovoltaic poverty alleviation in winning the battle against poverty.The government will build not only distributed photovoltaic and photovoltaic power plants for poor family and village.On June 17,2020,the M

91、inistry of Finance announced the final accounts data of the National Renewable Energy Fund for 2019 and the budget data for 2020.Among them,photovoltaic subsidies account for about 51%,accounting for the largest proportion,followed by wind power,accounting for about 43%,and biomass energy,accounting

92、 for about 6%.Among the photovoltaic subsidy projects,photovoltaic poverty alleviation projects,natural person distributed projects with a single installed capacity of less than 50KW,and photovoltaic projects determined by bidding in 2019-2020 shall be allocated in full priority(distributed at a pro

93、portion of 100%);The leader project determined by the state(connected to the grid before the end of 2019)gives priority to ensuring that 50%of the subsidy funds payable by the project are allocated;Other renewable energy projects included in the list are estimated to be distributed in the proportion

94、 of 30%-40%.Retrospective measures applied to PV N/A Retroactive measures applied to PV N/A Indirect policy issues 3.10.1 Rural electrification measures By the end of 2015,China already announced that whole China has been electrified and there is no un-electrified people at all.So,there is no govern

95、ment supported projects for off-grid rural electrification any more since 2016.PV industry applications,like communication,signal system for navigation,railways,highways,remote weather stations,remote satellite TV,etc.,are sponsored by industry units and there is no special policy for such sector.Th

96、e market is about several MW annually.PV commercial products,like solar street lights,lawn lights,moveable solar chargers,solar watches,solar fans,etc.,are all directly selling on market without any government subsidy.The market size is about few MW each year.Task 1 National Survey Report of PV Powe

97、r Applications in China 19 3.10.2 Support for electricity storage and demand response measures In July 2021,the National Development and Reform Commission issued the Notice on Further Improving the Time of use Tariff Mechanism,which requires:1)Reasonably determine the price difference between peak a

98、nd valley electricity prices;2)Establish peak electricity price mechanism.In principle,the floating rate of peak price shall not be less than 20%on the basis of peak price.The policy releases the signal that the spot electricity trading market continues to expand.At present,six western provinces in
