Photovoltaic power generation is a technology that uses photovoltaic effect of semiconductor interface to directly convert light energy into electric energy. With the improvement of technology, the scale of photovoltaic power generation industry is expanding, and the industry tends to be diversified and intelligent.

Industry market size

With the gradual maturity of photovoltaic power generation technology, the gradual reduction of cost, the preliminary definition of grid price and the increasing need of improving the energy structure, photovoltaic power generation has developed rapidly.

By the end of 2020, China's photovoltaic power generation capacity will reach 261.1 billion kwh, and the scale of China's photovoltaic power generation market is expected to reach 317.9 billion kwh in 2021.

According to the 13th five year plan for solar energy development, by the end of 2020, the installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation in China will reach 105gw. By the end of 2020, China's cumulative grid connected installed capacity is 253.43gw, far exceeding the target of the 13th five year plan. It is estimated that China's cumulative grid connected installed capacity will be 296.13gw in 2021. During the fourteenth Five Year Plan period, with the diversification of the application market and the development of market-oriented electricity trading and partition power sales, the new photovoltaic installed capacity will increase steadily, and the scale of the industry market will expand accordingly.

Industry development trend

1. Diversified industry applications

In recent years, China's policies encourage the construction of photovoltaic power stations, while actively promoting the penetration of photovoltaic applications to other industries, so the application modes of photovoltaic power generation begin to diversify. During the 14th Five Year Plan period, China will vigorously promote the diversified application of photovoltaic power generation in accordance with the general idea of innovation driven, industrial upgrading, cost reduction, market expansion and system improvement. The State encourages all kinds of photovoltaic application projects to be carried out according to local conditions in combination with the comprehensive utilization of barren mountains and wasteland and coastal tidal flats, the treatment of abandoned land such as coal mining subsidence areas, facility agriculture and fishery breeding, so as to promote the organic integration of photovoltaic power generation and other industries. At present, China's photovoltaic power station development presents a diversified development trend of integration with agriculture, aquaculture, mining and ecological governance, and opens up a variety of new models combined with photovoltaic industry.

2. Intelligent development of the industry

Operation and maintenance development the operation and maintenance mode of photovoltaic power station is developing from traditional manual duty to intelligent operation and maintenance. Intelligent operation and maintenance is a way to implement online data monitoring and offline professional management for power station based on big data, cloud computing and other technologies. With the gradual expansion of the scale of photovoltaic power station, the power station inspection work is more complex, and the traditional manual inspection method can not meet the needs of power station operation and maintenance. Compared with the traditional way can not find problems in time, the power station equipment can not be accurately maintained and other disadvantages, intelligent operation and maintenance system can monitor the power station equipment in real time, find equipment defects in time, and effectively improve the power generation efficiency of photovoltaic power station.
