SOLAR AND ENERGY
More and more, buildings are incorporating energy storage systems with photovoltaic systems to both provide a backup power source to a building and reduce utility bills.
In January 2022, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration jointly issued the Implementation Plan for the Development of New Energy Storage during the 14th Five-Year Plan Period, emphasizing the fundamental role of new energy storage technologies in a new power system.
The safe harbor table for solar PV systems has been split into two separate tables: one for ground-mount and one for rooftop. The Assigned Cost Percentages for module and inverter Manufactured Product Components (MPCs) have generally increased, but the Assigned Cost Percentages for production have generally decreased or remain unchanged.
In 2022, 194 electrochemical storage stations were put into operation, with a total stored energy of 7.9GWh. These accounted for 60.2% of the total energy stored by stations in operation, a year-on-year increase of 176% (Figure 4).
Based on CNESA's projections, the global installed capacity of electrochemical energy storage will reach 1138.9GWh by 2027, with a CAGR of 61% between 2021 and 2027, which is twice as high as that of the energy storage industry as a whole (Figure 3).
