What are the forms of solar thermal utilization
The use of solar energy, including solar photovoltaic power generation, solar thermal power generation, as well as solar water heaters and solar cells, solar air conditioning, etc..
Under the strong impetus of the "bright project" pilot project and the national project of "sending electricity to the countryside" and the world photovoltaic market, the rapid development of China's photovoltaic power generation industry. By the end of 2007, the total installed capacity of PV systems reached 100 thousand kilowatts, engaged in solar battery production enterprises reached more than 50 years, the solar cell production reached 1188MW, more than Japan and Europe, 2008 solar cell production continued to increase, reaching 2 million kilowatts. After years of development, China's solar water heater industry has formed a relatively complete industrial system. In 2008, China's solar water heater industry has achieved good results under the influence of many adverse factors. China's solar water heater industry growth rate of 30%-32%, total sales of about 40000000000 yuan. In 2008, China's solar water heater industry has achieved good results in the rural market, hot water engineering market and the international market. 2008 since the second half, the financial crisis to China, so that the impact of photovoltaic companies: order reduction, polysilicon prices fell
China is rich in solar energy resources, solar energy utilization prospects. At present, the scale of China's solar energy industry has been ranked first in the world, is the world's largest production and use of solar water heaters and the country's largest solar photovoltaic production country. There are two mature solar products in our country: solar photovoltaic system and solar hot water system. At present, photovoltaic power generation in the world is the forefront of Japan, Germany and the United states. China's photovoltaic power generation industry started in 1970s, after 30 years of efforts, has ushered in a new stage of rapid development.
