Solar energy will become an important part of the world's energy

Gao Jifan, chairman of Trina Solar Energy Co., Ltd., stated at the Summer Davos Forum on the 14th that with the innovation of science and technology, the cost of solar power will become lower and lower, and solar energy will become an important part of the entire energy in the future.

Gao Jifan said that in the past five years, driven by technological innovation and large-scale development, the cost of solar power has been reduced to one-third of its original cost. Moreover, technological innovation will lower the cost of solar power generation, which is close to conventional energy sources. Doubtful. He believes that with the increasing emphasis on renewable energy in the world, especially China and some developing countries, the cost of solar power will become lower and lower, and the technology will become more reliable. By 2015, it will become An important part of energy in many countries. At that time, the cost of solar power will be equivalent to that of thermal power in some areas and become part of the main energy source.

Gao Jifan believes that China had unified the on-grid electricity price of solar power generation by 1.15 yuan per kilowatt-hour a few months ago, which will promote the development of the domestic solar power industry. He said that the introduction of this electricity price is appropriate, especially in the western region where the light reaches 1,700 hours, investors can get a reasonable return on investment and will promote the development of the solar power industry; although this price is shorter in light The eastern region is still relatively low, but the "Golden Sun" plan has solved this problem through subsidies.

Gao Jifan believes that the solar power industry still has many deficiencies, including instability due to weather changes, immature energy storage systems, etc. In the process of development, it also needs government's policy support, technical development support and financial support. However, the direction of the solar power industry is correct, and its successful case will promote the change of the entire energy structure.
