Solar energy is an inexhaustible renewable energy source for human beings.
There are huge reserves, no exhaustion, no geographical restrictions, clean and renewable advantages.
The research and application of solar energy plays an important role in the long-term energy strategy.
It is one of the main directions of human energy development and has received the attention of all countries in the world.
At present, China's industrial development momentum is rapid, but China's main energy source
It is still coal and oil, and the pollution is serious. Some industrial cities in China have also become the world.
The most polluted city. Therefore, vigorously developing solar energy is China’s
It is imperative. "Renewable Energy of the People's Republic of China" from January 1, 2006

Ten thousand dollars is used for photovoltaic power generation projects and the development of solar energy technology. After the section
With three years of hard work, there are about 90,000 households in six poverty-stricken areas in western China.
Residents used solar power. At present, China's solar photovoltaic power generation application
Mainly for independent photovoltaic power generation in rural electrification and communication and industrial power supply
System, and there are some photovoltaic and building integrated systems and desert photovoltaic power plants.
China's current solar photovoltaic industry mainly plays in the following aspects

Solar photovoltaic technology generates electricity. In addition, other applications are still compared
2.3 Problems in China's solar power generation technology
China's solar power technology lags behind Germany, Japan, the United States, and Australia
Developed countries such as Lia, even behind India. China's solar energy cannot be ignored
The abnormal state of the industry: more than 90% of the raw materials depend on imports, more than 90%
The export of products, a typical two-headed industry. As solar photovoltaic
The main raw material of the pool, 95% of China's high-purity polysilicon materials rely on imports, and
And the technology is basically monopolized by foreign countries. This problem has become the development of China.
The biggest bottleneck in the solar energy industry.
In addition, although China has promulgated the "Renewable Energy Law," the law clearly mentions
"The state encourages units and individuals to install and use solar photovoltaic systems.
"Organization of solar energy utilization systems", but corresponding operational measures, such as
The grid price method has not been introduced yet. At present, the grid company only accepts wind power and raw
Material power generation.
The production of solar photovoltaic cells and raw material polysilicon is high pollution
Dyeing, high energy consumption industry, plus China does not master the key technology of polysilicon production
Surgery, excessive cost and cost of pollution energy also limit solar power technology
The development of surgery.
3 Prospects
Although compared with the international advanced level, China's solar power technology still
There is a big gap. China's solar power industry still has this or
Such a problem, but as a solar energy for clean renewable energy, because of its independence
Special advantages and broad application prospects, coupled with the strong support of the Chinese government,
Will definitely break through the bottleneck. It is currently to be strengthened in the following areas:
(1) Study the technology of polysilicon production, break through the technical bottleneck and reduce production
Energy consumption and pollution problems in the polysilicon process.
(2) Intensify the introduction of the "On-grid Electricity Price Law" to accept solar power generation and introduce
Practical incentives and incentives to further accelerate the development of solar power technology
(3) Accelerate research on solar cell materials and develop high conversion rates and low
