6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic Solar Power Generation Construction Department]
Can solar PV be used in New construction?
Integrating solar photovoltaics (PV) into new construction is becoming more and more popular in the United States. In California, rooftop solar PV became a requirement on newly built homes starting in 2020 and in some cities, this rule also applies to major renovations.
Is solar PV a competitive source of new power generation capacity?
Solar PV is emerging as one of the most competitive sources of new power generation capacity after a decade of dramatic cost declines. A decline of 74% in total installed costs was observed between 2010 and 2018 (Figure 10).
Are solar PV installations eligible for government rebates?
Once accredited with the Clean Energy Council, solar PV installations are eligible for government rebates such as Small-scale Technology Certificates and feed-in tarifs.
Is solar PV a strategic renewable technology?
This report clearly points out that solar PV is one of the strategic renewable technologies needed to realise the global energy transformation in line with the Paris climate goals. The technology is available now, could be deployed quickly at a large scale and is cost-competitive.
Should centralized PV power generation continue to receive subsidies?
If energy storage technology, cross-regional power allocation, and energy complementation can effectively improve the problems of transmission difficulties and the massive loss of light in these regions, then centralized PV power generation in these regions should continue to receive subsidies or other policy supports.
How has the solar PV industry evolved in recent years?
The evolution of the solar PV industry so far has been remarkable, with several milestones achieved in recent years in terms of installations (including off-grid), cost reductions and technological advancements, as well as establishment of key solar energy associations (Figure 5).
