Photovoltaic power generation construction support flow chart

What are the four stages of a PV power generation project?

To simply the process, we define the four stages as: project preparation, project construction, project operation, and project supervision. Fig. 4 shows the project flow chart, and illustrates the close connection of the four stages of a PV power generation project. In Fig. 4, the box refers to the task of a project.

How government supports PV power generation projects?

In the initial project construction stage, financial support is the most commonly used policy instrument. In the operation phase, electricity sales policies are the main policies. Government supports different forms of PV power generation projects at different stages according to its policy orientation.

Should PV application policy focus on concentrated PV power generation?

In the future, policies should focus on the distributed PV power generation, rather than on concentrated PV power. The experience of developing PV application policy in China has a few implications for the future policy. First of all, it is better to balance supply-type, demand-type and environment-type policies.

Why is PV power generation not a stable power source?

In addition, as PV power generation influenced by the environment is constantly changing and is not a stable power source, the power grid limits the power generated by the PV power plants and even rejects access by the PV system for safety. Fig. 2 shows China's curtailed PV power generation and brownout from 2015 to 2018.

What is the construction and installation phase of a solar project?

With permits and financing secured, the construction and installation phase of a solar project can commence. This phase is where the physical solar panels and equipment are installed on-site and connected to the power grid. It includes several key steps that require careful planning and execution.

Is photovoltaic power a strategic goal for China's future energy?

This has become a significant strategic goal for China's future energy ( Huang and Wang, 2018 ). Photovoltaic (PV) power generation is an important form of solar energy use. Different policies have encouraged its development, including those addressing technology development, production, and application.
