The research report outlines how solar energy can help decarbonize the US grid and help achieve the government's goal of net zero emissions from the power sector by 2035. Research shows that by 2035, solar energy has the potential to supply 40% of the electricity in the United States and provide nearly 1.5 million jobs without causing electricity bills to rise. The report calls for a substantial increase in the installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation. According to the vision blueprint of the US Department of Energy, the country’s photovoltaic power generation needs to rise from 76GW in 2020 (about 3% of the national power supply) to 1600GW in 2035, and reach 3000GW in 2050. . Last month, the Ministry of the Interior announced that it would start a process to ensure easier access to vast federal land for solar and wind energy, and to address the greedy demand for land in the renewable energy industry. According to research firm Rystad Energy, the US's goal of achieving decarbonization of the power sector by 2035 requires that the solar energy industry alone requires a larger area than the Netherlands. More than 700 companies have written to Congress seeking long-term extension of tax incentives for solar investment, which will "alleviate project financing challenges." Last month, the latest report released by Ember, an independent think tank concerned with climate issues, stated that the EU's solar energy supply reached a record high in June and July, accounting for 10% of the region's total power generation. Judging from the 2020 report, China's wind and solar energy supply last year accounted for 9.8% of total electricity consumption. China is the only G20 country that has seen a significant increase in coal power generation in 2020.

The 14th place on the list. At present, solar energy occupies the fifth place in Brazil's electric energy structure, which is higher than that of thermal power plants powered by petroleum and other fossil fuels, which have an installed capacity of about 9,100 megawatts. The Brazilian Photovoltaic Solar Association (Absolar) stated that this achievement is directly attributable to the investment of more than 52.7 billion reais since 2012. The market expects that after the new regulatory framework for distributed power generation is approved, the The investment will continue to grow. The new law stipulates that projects currently under construction and projects established within 12 months after the promulgation of the new law can enjoy discounts on power grid usage fees before 2045. The Brazilian Association of Distributed Generation (ABGD) estimates that this measure may encourage an additional 10,000 megawatts of installed capacity within two years.

(Image source: pv-magazine) Even without energy storage, electric vehicle drivers can use a large portion of solar energy. For example, a 7 kW system without a battery can meet 39% of a car's electricity demand through solar power generation. EUPD Research also said that solar + energy storage solutions can greatly reduce charging costs. It believes that a set of 10 kW system with energy storage can save up to 52% of charging costs. This is equivalent to saving 415 euros per year. Martin Ammon, managing director of EUPD Research, said: "In order to store spontaneous solar power for use in electric vehicles, household energy storage systems are essential, especially in winter."
Read MoreThe Ministry of Energy of Thailand will adjust the supporting policies for civilian photovoltaic power generation systems to increase the proportion of household photovoltaic power generation systems installed while advancing the development of the national clean energy strategy, so as to achieve spontaneous self-use of surplus electricity. In order to achieve better encouragement and support, the Ministry of Energy is considering increasing the current on-grid electricity price of civilian photovoltaic power generation systems from the current 1.68 THB/kWh to 2-2.20 THB/kWh. Photovoltaic power generation, especially household photovoltaic power generation, is an important supplement to the national energy security strategy. The government encourages and supports families to use roof space to install photovoltaic power generation systems. UISOLAR, as a solar mounting supplier for more than 10 years, can offer different brackets suitable for different roofs. The rooftop photovoltaic power generation system can not only provide all the needs of household electricity, but also sell the surplus electricity to the country through grid connection, so as to obtain additional income. As a clean energy source, photovoltaic power generation will not cause damage to the surrounding environment. Thailand has long sunshine hours throughout the year, and the prospect of household photovoltaic power generation systems is very broad. As a market with huge potential and broad prospects, Thailand has always been concerned by UISOLAR. There are still many places in remote rural areas in Thailand that are not connected to electricity, and photovoltaic power generation systems are very suitable for promotion in these places. In the past year, only 3-4 MW of household photovoltaic power generation have been connected to the grid, which is far from the 100 MW target. After consulting with experts, the Ministry of Energy decided to adjust the support policy and increase the purchase price of photovoltaic power generation to attract more households to install photovoltaic power generation systems. This year's goal is to increase to 50 MW and next year to 100-200 MW.
