Favorable conditions for Guanngdong PV market

By virtue of abundant regional resources and photovoltaic (PV) policies, Guangdong Province witnesses rapid growth of PV industry and sets a good example for China’s PV industry development. In view of its development background, Guangdong is regarded as a pioneer of PV power generation. Under the guidance of China’s policies, Guangdong PV power generation market development also promotes the overall development of Guangdong’s economy. It is estimated that Guangdong PV market will have a bright future.

Rich PV power generation resources in Guangdong

According to "Guangdong Solar Photovoltaic Power Generation Development Plan (2014 to 2020)", there are near 200 various industrial parks in Guangdong, which can be installed distributed PV power generation system construction roof area of 80 million m2, including Pearl River Delta region of 60 million m2, East Guangdong of 8 million m2, West Guangdong of 5 million m2 and North Guangdong of 7 millions m2.  It’s calculated that annual new construction roof area is more than 28 million m2. If  10% is used to install PV power generation system, an annual increase of building roof area of construction of PV power generation can be installed capacity of about 0.3 million kW (300 MW).

Subsidy policies to support Guangdong PV development

China’s government policies are an important element which contributes a lot to PV development in Guangdong. Although there are no provincial subsidies and a few local subsidies in Guangdong (at present only Guangzhou, Foshan and Zhuhai has launched PV subsidy policies), the supporting policies of distributed PV development in Guangdong achieve good results. Based on the prosperous development of the industry, manufacturing industry, and strong economic foundation, Guangdong Province is still the top priority for distributed PV development.

The level of economic development in Guangdong ranks the forefront of China. For example, the average electricity price of industry and commerce during daytime is about 1RMB / kWh, and desulfurization benchmark electricity price of is about 0.502 RMB / kWh. Compared with other cities in China in same electricity subsidy standards (0.42RMB/kWh), distributed PV power generation economy in Guangdong has better effects. In addition to electricity subsidies of 0.42RMB / kWh, there are additional subsidies (draft) in Guangzhou, Foshan and Dongguan.

Guangzhou: PV project subsidies for Guangzhou residents are 0.1 RMB/ kWh. Projects which are built by 2020 and meet the conditions can enjoy the subsidies. After the completion for 1 year the subsidy will last for 10 years.

Foshan: Chancheng District, Foshan has issued related policies for the projects invested in 2016. The project investors and owners have a one-off grant. A single project awards is no more than 100,000 RMB.

Dongguan: The subsidies which last for 5 years for distributed PV investors in Dongguan can be divided into two parts. Non residential investors like industry, commerce, school and hospital can be given subsidy 0.1 RMB/ kWh, while residents can be given subsidies 0.3 RMB/ kWh according to actual power generation.

Welcome to PV Guangzhou 2016! Look forward to your participation sincerely!
