The draft "Environmental Conditions for Solar Photovoltaic Industry" drafted by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has been completed, and two discussion meetings have been held recently. The access conditions clearly define the company's production scale, research and development capabilities, conversion efficiency, etc., involving silicon rods, silicon wafers, batteries, crystalline silicon components, and thin film solar cells.

The participating experts who participated in the draft discussion said that the access conditions are one of the six major supporting policies to be introduced first after the State Council executive meeting has decided to support the photovoltaic industry policy, which is in line with the goal of eliminating backward production capacity.

Standards are high and low

One of the opinions: It is good to have standards, but I am afraid of a one-size-fits-all approach.

The second opinion: set an access condition, but it is not necessary to close the door, and should allow enterprises to compete freely.

The third opinion: the standard is set too low, everyone can come in, and after implementation, it will not inhibit the current situation of overcapacity.

It is understood that the draft access conditions are drafted: the crystalline silicon enterprise has a capacity of not less than 200MW in one of the silicon wafers, batteries and components in the same plant.

In response to this article, industry insiders said that the scale should not be the only threshold, but the 200MW is indeed too low, at least to 500MW or even 1000MW. Some large enterprises still compete in low-cost homogenous competition in the traditional market, eager to obtain cash and consume their own production capacity. Those enterprises that have no profit conditions but have large production capacity should not be allowed to be marketed. The large enterprises that are eliminated are protected.

However, the opinion of Zhao Yonghong, secretary general of the Zhejiang Province Photovoltaic Industry Technology Innovation Strategy Alliance and secretary general of the Hangzhou Solar Photovoltaic Industry Association, believes that the capacity requirement of 200MW is somewhat high. He said: "If you simply divide by capacity, many small enterprises with markets are likely to be squeezed out. The access conditions are reduced from 200MW to 100MW, and some enterprises can continue to survive. If it is increased to 1000MW, then Zhejiang The province will be completely annihilated."

A senior executive of a PV listed company in Zhejiang believes that “if the standard really improves to 1000 MW, then the company that meets the requirements can be said to be almost zero. Moreover, if the company is rectified according to the standard of raising to 1000 MW, reinvest in the current situation. The practice of launching a few hundred megawatts of production lines is obviously not in violation of market rules for enterprises. This is definitely not feasible."

The executive also said that the scale can be used as an indicator, but it is not very important. It depends on the performance of the product, whether it is cheap and good, and whether the quality is guaranteed. The most important thing is the company's ability to sustain development, as well as R&D investment, new product development, etc., rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. It should be improved through market mechanisms, and the government should guide the direction.

In addition, in the access conditions, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the polycrystalline silicon battery module (full area) is above 14%, and the single crystal silicon battery module is above 15%. At present, the average efficiency of polycrystalline components in mainstream enterprises is above 15%, and that of single crystals is above 16%, and this standard is 1% lower.

On this access condition, the participants in the draft discussion generally believe that because the photovoltaic industry has excess capacity, it is hoped that the standard will be set higher. “The difficulty of the threshold is naturally higher.”

Overcapacity is not the same as excess business

There are many small and medium-sized enterprises in Zhejiang Province. According to incomplete statistics, by August 2011, the number of photovoltaic enterprises in Zhejiang has exceeded 200. Zhejiang Province is the second largest photovoltaic manufacturing province in China after Jiangsu Province. For such a situation, whether the "standard" can treat small enterprises in a differentiated manner is directly related to the survival and development of Zhejiang photovoltaic enterprises.

Li Xinfu founded a small and medium-sized photovoltaic enterprise. However, in 2012, the export volume and profit of PV companies generally fell sharply. The Hangzhou Customs data sheet showed that the company’s performance continued to rise. While most companies are still struggling in the European market, his company has sold its products to more than 30 countries around the world because of its focus on emerging markets.

Li Xinfu said: "Our company is relatively small in the industry, but we have profit, and it is still relatively good. If we set high standards based on production capacity, companies like us are very passive."

Therefore, if the scale of production capacity is used as a measure, it will cause some enterprises that are not able to meet the standards but have profitability to be harmed.

A senior executive of a photovoltaic listed company in Zhejiang stressed that the current PV market is chaotic, because of the lack of standards, unevenness, resulting in overcapacity, technical, and no technology, followed by a slamming situation.

"There is a good standard, which shows that the country attaches importance to the development of this industry. But hope that the formulation of standards can guide the whole industry to get rid of the situation of homogenous low-price and disorderly competition, and guide enterprises to take the road of characteristic development, rather than simply Eliminate small-capacity enterprises. Because China's PV industry has to eliminate excess capacity, not enterprises, this is two things." The PV listed company executives said.
