6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic power generation support financing]
Do small and medium photovoltaic power generation projects need financial support?
Small and medium photovoltaic power generation projects are short of financial support, which affects sustained and balanced development of the entire photovoltaic power industry. On one hand, for the total investment of photovoltaic SMEs, the capital for this kind of projects are inadequate and mainly rely on bank loans.
Are financial incentives still required for solar PV projects?
While the cost per kWh of solar PV power has come down dramatically and continues to fall, in most cases direct or indirect financial incentives are still required in order to increase the commercial attractiveness of solar PV projects so that there is sufficient investment in new projects to meet national goals for renewable energy production.
Are solar PV projects suited to project financing?
Solar PV projects have historically been well suited to project financing because many sell power at a fixed tariff (as opposed to a fluctuating price on a merchant market) and often on a “take-or-pay” basis whereby the off-taker purchases whatever volume of power is produced, thus mitigating both price and volume risk.
How can financial institutions finance solar power projects?
In financing solar power projects, financial institutions are becoming more sophisticated in their analysis of the solar resource. Their requirements are moving towards the analysis of multiple datasets, cross referencing with values obtained from high resolution satellite data and a robust uncertainty analysis.
How can a capital grant help a solar PV project?
Capital grants awarded through a tender or application process have also helped support solar PV projects, especially in the early stages of PV power commercialization when its costs were very high, the awareness of its characteristics limited, and the perceived risks high.
What is the financing mode of distributed photovoltaic power projects?
However, the financing mode of distributed photovoltaic power projects is varied in different aspects. In distributed generation system, the share of internal capital, bank loans and government subsidies are 30%, 20%, and 50% respectively, because of the subsidies from the central government.
