The Development History Of PV Power Generation In China

In 2008, the cost of photovoltaic power generation in China was 4CNY/kWh, 13 times that of coal-fired power generation; in 2012, the cost of photovoltaic power generation was 4 times that of coal-fired power generation; in 2015, the cost of photovoltaic power generation was 2 times that of coal-fired power generation; in 2018, photovoltaic power generation was 0.4CNY/kWh, and coal-fired power generation rose to 0.4CNY/kWh. This year, the prices of the two types of power generation finally became equal. 2018 is the first year of photovoltaic power generation. In 2023, the price of photovoltaic power generation in China has dropped to 60% of the cost of coal-fired power generation.

From these figures, we can see that the cost of photovoltaic power generation is getting lower and lower, and the development momentum is getting stronger and stronger. What did you feel when talking about photovoltaic power generation in the past? It was too expensive, not cost-effective, and the technology was not very mature.

Now it is different. The technology is becoming more and more mature, and the cost is getting lower and lower. Once the price drops, everyone's enthusiasm has also risen, and the number of photovoltaic installations in ordinary people's homes is increasing. This is not only because our people are contributing to the country's environmental protection, but also because it is really cost-effective.

Photovoltaic power generation has no disadvantages, it is just too powerful. As soon as the sun comes out, electricity comes, and it does not produce any noise or pollution. Unlike burning coal, which emits black smoke all day long, it is not good for the environment and not good for yourself. Speaking of environmental protection, it is well known that the earth is getting hotter and hotter, and carbon dioxide emissions are too much. To reduce the greenhouse effect, we must do a good job of energy conservation and emission reduction from the source. Photovoltaic power generation is one of the ways out.

We also have to talk about the cost issue. With the cost reduction, the application scope of photovoltaic power generation will definitely be wider. At the very least, every household can install photovoltaic panels, and the electricity generated during the day can be sold to the State Grid for extra income. At the largest scale, if all factories and enterprises engage in photovoltaic energy, the proportion of clean energy will increase, and the production cost of the factory will also decrease. The power grid also transmits green electricity, and the carbon emissions of the whole society will be reduced. This is called "green development".

Let's talk about investment. The photovoltaic industry now has a great future. Not only is the technical threshold low, but it is also developing on a large scale. More and more capital is entering, and technology is constantly improving, which has brought a lot of vitality to this market. In the next ten, twenty or thirty years, the photovoltaic power generation industry will definitely be a development direction worthy of attention.

In short, with the evolution of technology and cost, photovoltaic power generation is no longer a new thing in people's eyes. It is rapidly integrating into our lives and becoming a force that cannot be ignored.

Judging from the trend of photovoltaic power generation progress, future development is limitless. What do you think about this? What kind of changes do you think photovoltaic power generation will bring to you?
