Morocco's electricity price is much higher than the domestic average illumination time of up to 3000 hours an hour, while the domestic average of 1300 hours is already good, which means that investment in Morocco, low-cost photovoltaic industry, the benefits of large, is expected to be realized in about five years Profitable. "Tianyuan Energy Chairman Wang Bo said recently that the company has signed a $ 2 billion framework agreement with the Moroccan government to invest in photovoltaic and wind power projects in Morocco.
China has made great strides in the development of renewable energy, especially photovoltaic solar energy, and has made great achievements.Nowadays, China is not only a big photovoltaic power producer, but also a large installed power.China has introduced the world's largest investment plan for renewable energy and added The world's leading production capacity, with PV as an example, has a total installed capacity of more than 120GW, making a tremendous contribution to the transformation of China's energy structure and climate change.
In December 2015, at the Johannesburg Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, China-Africa Top Ten Cooperation Plans were formally announced. In particular, China is going to use a variety of financing methods to support power generation projects such as photovoltaic and biomass energy in Africa. Substation, power grid project to help Africa to improve the status quo of economic growth constraints of power shortage.
'Photovoltaic' worth the wait
For example, the South African government has attached great importance to the development of new energy in recent years and has clearly proposed to achieve the goal of generating 42% of the total new generation by 2030. The Moroccan government has also formulated a By 2030, renewable power generation will account for 50% of the installed capacity of power generation, "said Wang Bohua, secretary general of the PV Industry Association.
From the perspective of the development of clean energy in all continents, Africa accounts for 16% of the total global clean energy consumption by 2050. Africa becomes the most important solar energy development region in the world.
Africa is very rich in solar energy resources, mainly concentrated in North Africa, East Africa and southern Africa.African solar power generation base is expected to North Africa solar energy technology can be developed up to 141 trillion degrees / year, East Africa can develop about 187 trillion solar technology Degree / year; eastern and northwestern wind power base in Africa, Somalia and its coastal areas, as well as Ethiopia, Kenya and other countries and Western Sahara in the northwestern region, suitable for the construction of large onshore or offshore wind power base.
According to the report of a foreign consulting firm, the total installed capacity of new generation capacity in sub-Saharan Africa will reach 212 billion U.S. dollars between 2017 and 2030 while the investment in installed capacity of renewable energy generation will account for a total investment of Three quarters.
The African Development Bank has now provided over 4.4 billion U.S. dollars in renewable energy projects in Morocco and Côte d'Ivoire and these projects are expected to contribute to economic development to improve the electricity supply between the two countries and the African Development Bank said there are over 600 million people in Africa Without electricity, the bank will increase its investment in energy projects in the hope of achieving universal power supply in Africa by 2025.
Many African countries recognize that costly and time-consuming large-scale power projects may not be the only solution to short-term economic growth and small progress, and countries such as Tanzania, Kenya, Nigeria and Ghana are also striving to support and accelerate the deployment of distributed solar energy Solution development.
Meanwhile, more than 1.5 million home-use PV systems in Africa were purchased using mobile payment-related financing plans, up from 600,000 by the end of 2015. Bloomberg New Energy Finance pointed out that this business model is being used in the PV financing market in Africa No longer niche, and some big deals this year.
'Made in China' is ready to go
In recent years, while China's PV companies have been cultivating the downstream power station market in China, they have also turned their attention to the development potential of the PV market in Africa. To help Africa achieve its goal of free economic hematopoiesis, China not only provides products and technologies to illuminate African countries, but also provides Personnel training, the establishment of cooperation in promoting the development of renewable energy centers and other capacity-building, and create a technology transfer mechanism.
Yingli has started to work with East African customers since 2007. Photovoltaic products serve Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia, Rwanda, Ethiopia and South Sudan. With the continuous development of 'One Belt, One Road', Yingli's highly efficient photovoltaic products are already spread all over the Belt and Road 'More than 20 countries along the route.' Yingli Chief Scientist Song Dengyuan introduced that Yingli provided efficient components for the 233 MW photovoltaic plant in Algeria, the largest in Africa, and installed photovoltaic lighting equipment for football stadiums in 20 football centers in Africa. Yingli has continuously undertaken two By the Ministry of Science and Technology 'International Training Course on Photovoltaic Technology and Applications', nearly 400 trainees from countries in the Belt and Road Initiative in Asia and Africa were trained in the advanced technologies applied in the PV industry. More than 20 technical achievements were exported to more than 10 countries item.
BYD sent Africa a whole new solution of 'optical storage integration', and BYD delivered its first container-based energy storage system to Johannesburg, the largest city in South Africa in 2015. In 2016, BYD supplied the residential market in South Africa Battery energy storage system.In addition, BYD is also the construction of South Africa's largest single photovoltaic power plant project and is about to build a Cape Town, consisting of 11 sets of 12-meter low-floor electric bus fleet.Daydi relevant stakeholders said they provide some Solutions, export of core technology components, and other accessories for the production and assembly work, many will be done by the local manufacturers.
JinkoSolar is a 'crab-eater' who is locally producing in Africa and started investing in a solar panel plant in Cape Town as the first Chinese PV company to set up a plant in Africa as early as 2014. With an area of 5,000 square meters, the plant produces 120 megawatts of solar panels a year. Local production helps the Crystals Branch deliver locally and meets the requirements of South African authorities regarding the need to use locally-produced equipment.
Hebei Warwick Capitolou photovoltaic LED lighting products is the combination of solar photovoltaic panel power generation and semiconductor LED lighting, does not require power stations, with the advantages of small investment, easy to use, safe and reliable, to adapt to the needs of people in African countries at present Warwick In Madagascar Germany has 1 million sets of promotional programs, the first batch of 100,000 sets have been successfully promoted.
