German-Japanese PV industry development path go bad
|
Germany and Japan, not in a unique solar photovoltaic power generation conditions, but now they have become the world leader in photovoltaic industry. Their secret of success is: the development and deployment of solar technology on sustainable public investment. Although the two countries have adopted very different paths, but both can provide a reference for us.
Two very different paths led to two very different countries - Germany and Japan as the manufacturing and installation of photovoltaic industry, the global leader. Out of safety, health, climate change and energy prices, higher considerations, Germany, strong growth in Japan is now the home of the photovoltaic industry.
In Germany and Japan, you can see thousands of roofs with solar panels. However, differences in public policy led to different results: Germany's solar industry is still dependent on government subsidies for electricity production costs; and early 2005, the photovoltaic industry in Japan is no longer the need for government subsidies.
70 years of the 20th century, faced with soaring energy prices in Germany predicament. The impact of the ongoing oil crisis across Europe, energy security more and more attention. After 20 years, increasing pollution and the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, but also environmental issues to the cusp, as Germany's most popular public topic.
Worsening global warming must be to promote collaboration between the international community. According to the "Kyoto Protocol" agreement, by 2012, greenhouse gas emissions in Germany than in 1990 decreased by 21%. This indicates that the government will start investing heavily in renewable energy and deployment of renewable energy in particular, the photovoltaic industry. German government in response to emission reductions on the PV industry investment, laid the Germany as the world leader in clean energy technology foundation.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel in the final noise in a campaign last year to honor "commitments." September 6th, the German government after months of heated debate in difficult to reach a piece of paper after the formal announcement of Germany's 17 existing nuclear power plants will be retired in the scheduled time - on the basis of 2021 to extend the average service life of 12 years. 90 had worked the last century, the German environment minister Angela Merkel said the decision was "a revolution in energy supply in Germany," but a lot of people do not buy the Prime Minister stated. West Germany's opposition Social Democratic Party leader Maccabees Brill published the message on September 6 as "black day for German energy policy." The industry is worried that nuclear power plants will survive a long time away badly needed investment in wind power in Germany, to the future development of renewable energy in Germany has brought a heavy blow.
In the Eastern Hemisphere, the Japanese Ministry of Economy started in 1993, "New Sunshine Project," Japan's efforts to establish local industries and the domestic solar photovoltaic solar energy market. Through a series of government-funded and related research, development, demonstration and deployment, Japan's solar cell manufacturing technology and lower costs have made great progress.
Global warming and high energy prices, Forced Japan, a 85% of the country will need to import coal PV industry development on a national priority. METI use of various measures and projects, develop its photovoltaic industry and capacity, including the "New Sunshine Project", "5-year photovoltaic technology research and development program" and "Residential PV System Programme."
In this process, the Japanese Ministry of Economy has to pay attention to the development of industrial productivity and coordinate the needs of consumers, and achieved incredible results: almost 500,000 installed solar roof systems, while solar costs significantly reduced.
In 1994, in Japan, a roof to install a solar energy system will cost $ 60,000. By 2005, installation cost down to $ 20,000, with the PV industry and other energy generation in Japan to compete.
Soon, the Japanese ended up on a roof system of government funding. At this point, Japan has many of the world's leading solar energy company.
Japan's success can be attributed to the government in the process of innovation in solar energy, attention to every stage of the coordination of public investment - not only in research and development funding, and research results on the display, put it in the early deployment efforts.
The power of example
As a result of public investment strategy, the German photovoltaic industry is booming. Installation of solar PV modules in Germany and manufacturing has been a world leader, the German company occupied 46% of the global market, has created more than 10,000 German jobs. The one that bought the German photovoltaic industry subsidies has been the core of success, and will continue to be able to drive in Germany was driven too.
On the other hand, Japan has successfully implemented a set of solar power to compete with other power generation policy, and stop the funding of solar energy. Today, the Japanese economy is still in the next generation of Trade and Industry provincial research and development of photovoltaic technology is playing an important role in Japan's PV industry is still growing. The Government seems to have been on the right track, is the 30% toward the roof in Japan with a goal of solar energy equipment, and is gradually weakening the strength of direct subsidies.
After the baptism of the international financial crisis, Germany is clearly aware of the crux of the development of photovoltaic industry, and make timely adjustments, this is precisely where China needs to learn. The development of any industry, it is important to strike a balance in all aspects, so as to healthy development, and will not be controlled by others. |
