National policy promotes the development of photovoltaic industry

In 2012, the “Guidance on Promoting the Healthy Development of the Solar Water Heater Industry” issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (Draft for Soliciting Opinions) has given a clear signal of development in the light and heat industry: By 2015, three key annual sales will be cultivated at 300 More than 10,000 photo-thermal leading enterprises will lean towards these three companies in the future in terms of technology upgrading, consumer guidance, and industrial layout. The reporter was informed that this goal has become the ultimate goal of the light and heat industry, and domestic solar heat utilization companies have begun to quietly layout, and strive to become one of the three light and heat leading enterprises at the end of the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”.

At the same time, the National Outline for Promoting the Healthy Development of Urbanization (2011-2020), prepared by more than 10 ministries and commissions such as the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Homeland, and the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, was led by the National Development and Reform Commission. Although it was not formally issued, it was in the first draft. The blueprint for building more than 20 city groups, more than 180 prefecture-level cities, and more than 10,000 towns and cities, will inject a 40 trillion yuan investment in the next ten years. It undoubtedly points out that the development of light and heat companies has indicated the development path. At present, China's light and heat companies are eyeing China's economic urbanization, and they are eager to take the ultimate goal of urbanization.

Urbanization brings unlimited business opportunities

Undoubtedly, urbanization in the future will be the new engine for stimulating the Chinese economy, and “eco-safety” will also become a factor that policy makers have to consider due to the ever-expanding urban energy demand and increasingly serious pollution. The intersection between urbanization and ecological security reflects the huge business opportunities in the new energy industry.

In an interview, Li Jun, president of Four Seasons Mu Ge Group, said in an interview that if China's urbanization rate reaches 60% of the overall plan by 2020, it means that 10 million rural people will be transferred to cities each year, which also heralds cities and towns. It will become the main battlefield for China to save energy and reduce emissions and maintain green growth. At the same time, new cities and towns will also be the foothold to build "beautiful China."

Li Jun believes that urban migration will change people's consumption behavior. The average annual energy consumption of the urban population is 3.5 times that of the rural population. The urban population's electricity consumption is three times that of the rural population. From the consumption habits, urban and rural areas have a strong sense of conservation, and they have obvious initiatives in the use of new energy. The local government should promote the construction of ecological civilization such as green houses, green transportation, and green consumption at the beginning of the new urbanization construction. “What needs to be solved now is that the specific promotion and implementation plan for solar energy in urbanization still needs to be further clarified,” Li Jun said.

Solar energy is promising

The warming of urbanization has also received support from the academic community. Zhang Xiaode, deputy director of the Economics Department of the National School of Administration, said in an interview that since small towns and new energy have natural common attributes, new energy should be included in the planning priorities in urbanization. He said: “Fossil energy is unevenly distributed, suitable for centralized use and large-scale development. The cost of use in large cities will be low, and the cost of use in rural areas will be high, while the distribution of new energy is relatively balanced. The natural advantages are in small and medium-sized cities and rural areas. ."

In fact, the status quo of China's light and heat industry is also extremely suitable for the construction of new towns. China's solar thermal technology is mature, ranking first in the global area of ​​heat collection, and has broad application prospects. Compared with wind energy, biological energy, and tidal energy, solar thermal energy utilization has always had a good mass base. According to statistics, by 2012, the total amount of solar water heaters in the country has exceeded 200 million square meters. Each year, 10 million new urban population and about 2 million families need 200 million square meters of new residential buildings. If 100 million square meters of solar hot water and heating systems are used, the solar market capacity will increase in multiples. Li Jun believes that urbanization will build a broader platform for the integration of solar energy and buildings, as well as solar hot water projects and thermal heating projects for towns that add or rebuild public buildings.

"Compared with other clean energy sources, solar energy may be a priority, and Muxi Song has done structural restructuring and layout." Li Jun said.
