Research and Markets: Research Report of China's Building Integrated Photovoltaic Industry, 2009
Friday June 19, 04:17 AM
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/d7396e/research_report_of)
has announced the addition of the "Research Report of China's Building
Integrated Photovoltaic Industry, 2009" report to their offering.
Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) refers to the installment of PV
modules which can supply electric power on surface of external
supporting structure. Those PV modules can not only replace part of such
traditional structures as roof slab, tile, window, building elevation
and rain-proof shelter, but also can be made to own various functions,
such as PV/thermal system, combination with illumination and sun shade,
etc.
At present, BIPV is widely applied on exposed walls, sun-shading
shelters, patios, tiles, roofs, sound-proof walls, as well as in fields
of private apartments, schools, hospital buildings, airports, platforms
of subway stations and large workshops.
With the changing fields of PV power generation, China has made great
progress in research and development of BIPV system. In 2002, 10KW
integrated grid system was built in Fengxian, Shanghai, which realized
automation. In 2003, an ecological demonstration project was established
in Shanghai and the 5KW integrated grid system combined well with
construction with international top technologies.
Shanghai Solar Energy S&T Co., Ltd (SSEC) also established integrated
demonstrative office building with six first-initiated technologies of
directly combining solar electrical power generation and construction.
Today, the total installed capacity can reach 40KW and energy
self-supply can basically realized with integrating geothermal air
condition technologies.
It is said in the 40th article of "Energy Conservation Law of the
People's Republic of China" which took effect on April 1st, 2008 that
Chinese government encourages to adopt energy-saving materials and
devices and to apply renewable energy resource system in the energy
conservation reform of newly-built constructions and existing
constructions. It is also stated in the 61st article that enterprises
which use energy-saving technologies and products listed in the law can
enjoy favorable policies, such as tax incentives.
Although a series of laws and standards have been launched, such as
"Renewable Energy Law", "Civil Building Energy Saving" and
"Energy-Saving Design Standard of Various Regions", high cost (cost of
photoelectric curtain wall jumps to over 1,000 USD/m2 today) will be a
big barrier for BIPV projects, apart from limited ideas and
technologies. Neither enterprises themselves nor government can afford
such a high cost in the long run. Therefore, BIPV captures considerably
small market now in China and is mainly used in some demonstrative
projects which enjoy government subsidies.
It is clearly regulated by Ministry of Construction of China that 50
percent of design standards should be applied in newly-built
constructions. It is predicted that the area of energy-saving
constructions will exceed 2.16 billion m2 from 2006 to 2010, with
newly-built area of 1.6 billion m2 and rebuilt area of 560 million m2.
At present, area of constructions in China reaches 40 billion m2, over
13 billion m2 of which are to be rebuilt. In order to fulfill this goal,
enterprises must adopt such energy-saving technologies and devices as
solar illumination, integrated system of solar energy and construction
(solar tiles and glass curtain wall), etc. Thus the BIPV market will see
a bright prospect in future.
