Polaris Solar Photovoltaic Network News The Philippine Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) has announced the top price for an upcoming 2GW renewable energy auction. It is reported that at this auction, the price ceiling for Photovoltaic was set at PHP 3.628/kWh, while the price ceiling for wind power was PHP 5.2887. The ERC also said that bids for biomass and river hydropower projects must not exceed PHP 5.548/kWh and PHP 5.8705/kWh, respectively. The ERC explained in a specific document that the PV price cap was set taking into account a PV capacity of 100 MW and an installation cost of $864.1 per kW. In addition, the ERC makes an assumption that the plant will sell power through a 20-year power purchase agreement with a net capacity factor of 21.3% and an estimated annual operating and management cost of approximately $482,743.12. The LCOE is estimated to be around PHP 2.8075/kWh. The Philippine government hopes to reach an agreement through the upcoming procurement campaign to purchase 1,260MW of photovoltaic power,380MW of wind power, 230MW of biomass power and 130MW of hydropower.

Read MoreEnergy research and business intelligence firm Rystad Energy has released a new report on global rooftop solar installations. The company predicts that rooftop solar PV installations will surge over the next three years, reaching a total capacity of 94.7 gigawatts (GW) by 2025. This growth reflects the broader solar market, which has been in a rip-roaring boom since 2016. During this period, rooftop installations have jumped 64% in five years, rising from 36 GW in 2017 to 59 GW in 2021, and now account for 30% of total global solar capacity. It is mainly due to the incentives and friendly policies introduced by many countries to promote adoption, especially feed-in tariffs (FiTs) that guarantee an above-market price for producers. Australia leads the world in per-capita rooftop PV installations with 746 watts per person, followed by Germany – 668 watts per person – and Japan – 353 watts per person. Australia, the US and the UK are the only countries in the top 10 countries list for total installed rooftop capacity where most of the systems are dedicated to powering residential properties. This is due to a combination of factors, including incentives (FiTs and grants), the high proportion of homeowners, and the many rooftops with suitable space, as well as the good solar resource (although this does not apply to the UK). In general, rooftop solar installation is the general trend, not only can make full use of roof space, but also contribute to environmental protection. UISOLAR is also committed to contributing to this field, we have been specializing in the solar brackets industry for over 10 years, the rooftop solution has always been the hottest one in our company.

Read MoreDubai, the largest emirate of the United Arab Emirates, recently announced that it intends to reduce carbon emissions by 30% by 2030, further promoting the realization of carbon neutrality goals. Saeed Al Tayer, Deputy Chairman of Dubai's Supreme Energy Council, said the latest strategy echoes the UAE's announced 2050 net zero target strategy. Dubai has previously said it plans to restructure its energy mix to 25% solar, 7% nuclear, 7% clean coal and 61% natural gas by 2030. According to the latest carbon reduction strategy, Dubai will take a number of measures to reduce carbon emissions, including promoting the diversification of the power mix, weaning off the dependence on natural gas, and large-scale development of renewable energy projects, especially solar projects. Dubai's main public utility company, Dubai Water and Electricity Authority, said it plans to connect the Mohammedbin Rashid Al-Maktoum Solar Park with a total installed capacity of 5 million kilowatts to the grid by 2030 to increase the proportion of clean electricity used.

Read MoreIn 2021, new power systems, silicon material price hikes, building-integrated photovoltaic, county-wide promotion, heterojunction cells, and large-scale wind and solar bases... These words in the industry will gradually become familiar to the society. In 2021, to sum up in one sentence, under the guidance of policies, photovoltaic have become the main energy source, and are no longer a "substitute player". Some reviews can be made from the following aspects: 1. Industry chain overview and installed capacity Looking back on 2021, under the combined effect of policy guidance and the continuous application of new technologies, my country's photovoltaic industry will continue to maintain its position as the world's first in terms of production capacity, output and technology level. Specifically, the photovoltaic industry chain is divided into: silicon materials, silicon wafers, cells, modules and other links. According to the statistics of the China Photovoltaic Association, my country's current polysilicon and module production ranks first in the world for 9 consecutive years and 13 years. As of 2019, my country's polysilicon production accounted for 67.3% of the world's production, silicon wafer production accounted for 97.4% of the world's production, cell production accounted for 78.7% of the world's production, and module production accounted for 71.3% of the world's. According to data released by the National Energy Administration, from January to November 2021, the cumulative installed capacity of domestic photovoltaic is 34.8GW, a year-on-year increase of 34%, of which the annual cumulative scale of households is 16.49GW, a year-on-year increase of 64%. It is estimated that the annual domestic photovoltaic installed capacity will reach 50GW above. In fact, due to the rise in silicon material prices and other reasons, the newly installed photovoltaic capacity in my country in 2021 is slightly less than the expected target, which also leaves more room for growth in 2022. 2. Policy Review Policy support is undoubtedly a powerful driving force for the development of the industry. In 2021, policies to support the development of the photovoltaic industry will be further increased. From the clear construction of a new power system with new energy as the main body, to the promotion of photovoltaic pilot projects in the whole county, to the carbon emission reduction support tools launched by financial institutions, the photovoltaic industry is like a duck in water. From the perspective of the policy evolution process, the support for the development of photovoltaic at the national level is increasing. From the beginning of the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" to 2021, photovoltaic households have become another new focus after years of rapid growth in the photovoltaic industry. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, it clearly advocated the development model of simultaneous development of centralized and distributed energy, and vigorously increased the sca...
Read MoreAlthough the global economic situation is changing and the domestic energy policy of the United States is constantly changing, the US solar market has successfully achieved a decade of stable growth. The growth rate of solar energy in the United States is staggering and sustained. In addition to the 23GW deployed in the United States in 2021, the research organization S&P Global Market Intelligence also predicts that 44GW of photovoltaic will be put into use in 2022, which is almost double that of 2021. UISOLAR hope to have the chance to participate in some projects. According to reports from the Solar Energy Industry Association and Wood Mackenzie, the cumulative installed capacity of solar photovoltaic in the United States has exceeded 100 GW. S&P’s researchers said that demand in the United States remains strong, with 17.4 GW of power generation capacity under development or under construction. In the memory of many solar analysts, the price of solar system hardware has risen for the first time in an industry where prices continue to fall. All commodity materials used in the manufacture of solar modules are under pressure from rising prices. Global logistics difficulties are forcing delays in the delivery of photovoltaic materials and modules and rising prices. It is estimated that transportation costs have risen by 500%. Solar energy is still the lowest-cost source of power generation in many places, but power purchase agreements are being renegotiated due to meager profits. Nevertheless, the strong demand for solar energy means that photovoltaic projects are more temporarily postponed rather than cancelled. Promote U.S. solar manufacturing American solar manufacturers basically lost in the war with China. According to Wood Mackenzie's data, among the nearly 400 GW of photovoltaic module production capacity in the world, the current US photovoltaic module production capacity is only 7.5 GW. Determined American policymakers are trying to promote legislation through subsidies and support to stimulate the domestic solar manufacturing industry and use its power generation as a potential employment engine. Biden and the Trump administration have agreed on at least one thing: to maintain trade sanctions on Chinese goods, including solar panels. Import tariffs are either an effective tool to defend trade sovereignty, or a blunt tool that increases consumer costs and has little effect on the creation of domestic industries. The U.S. International Trade Commission recommended last month that Biden maintain tariffs on imported crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells and modules; on the other hand, the Solar Energy Industry Association asked Biden to stop imposing tariffs.
