Revitalizing Renewable Energy: The Need for Solar Energy Awareness and Policy Change

Revitalizing the renewable energy market is key… “Solar energy awareness and policy must change”

[인더스트리뉴스 이건오 기자] In recent years, the domestic solar energy market has undergone rapid changes. Solar modules, key equipment, are also affected by these changes and fierce competition in the market is taking place.

As government subsidies for solar power generation have been significantly reduced, the competitiveness of foreign solar module companies has increased. Global top tier companies lead the market by supplying products of the highest level of efficiency beyond price competition. Domestic companies are spending their time researching next generation solar modules and keeping an eye on market changes to survive and prepare for future competition.

This magazine conducted a ‘2023 Solar Module Market Outlook Survey’ for ten days from April 8 to 17 to examine the market from different perspectives and gather industry opinion on the direction the solar module industry will move forward.

Competition in high efficiency solar modules continues… Active research on next generation products

Firstly, the score is from 1 to 5 (the closer to 1, the score is ‘very poor’, and the closer to 5, the score is ‘excellent’). <최근 국내 태양광 모듈 시장을 평가>In , almost half of the respondents voted in favor of a negative evaluation. The most common answer was 2 points (36.1%), followed by 3 points (23.5%), 4 points (19.7%), 1 point (14.6%), and 5 points (6.1%).

Respondents who answered scores of 1 and 2 referred to government support and instability in the supply chain because the solar energy market is shrinking in many opinions, while positive answers such as those with scores of 4 and 5 indicate the growth of the industry renewable energy in terms of the global trend and the direction it should go Many opinions predicted .

<올해 국내 태양광 모듈 시장의 최대 화두>In terms of strengthening competition for high efficiency products, the largest share was 40.2%, followed by the expansion of the market share of foreign brand solar modules (26.7%), the reduction of solar module prices (17.3%), responding to various requests such as roofs and water (13.8%), and solar modules (13.8%) The survey was conducted in order of optical module product certification (1.9%), allowing us to read the ongoing market atmosphere regarding the high efficiency trend.

to the next <태양광 모듈 산업의 기술적 화두>Regarding the following, a high proportion of the responses were research on next generation solar modules such as tandem (29.9%), expanding the development of high efficiency solar cell products (28.7%), securing technology to reduce greenhouse gases in the production of solar modules . (20.7%), and N-type solar power This was followed by expanding the module market (14.9%) and ensuring product durability through changes in materials such as enclosures (5.7%). It was a result that allowed us to look at the current trends for highly efficient products and the prospects for competition for next generation products through work behind the scenes.

What is needed to revive the solar module industry is the ‘market’

<태양광 모듈 선정시 가장 중요하게 생각하는 부분>The results showed that efficiency and price were close to 90%. The responses were in the following order: efficiency (45.8%), price (43.4%), maintenance (5.6%), brand (3.7%), and system connectivity (1.5%).

<국내 태양광 모듈 산업의 활성화를 위해 필요한 사항> Among the items, expanding market opportunities such as RE100 and industrial complex solar power was the most common at 28.9%, and changing government policy in line with the global solar energy trend was the most common at 25.3%. This was followed by ensuring the market competitiveness of domestic solar module manufacturers (21.6%), win-win cooperation between the solar energy industry and the module manufacturing sector (13.8%), and strengthening competitiveness through the development of next generation solar cell technology. (9.1%) Solar energy issues such as pollution and environmental destruction The response came in the order of improving misconceptions for (1.2%).

In their subjective answers, respondents said, “Unlike the global trend, there is an urgent need to improve awareness and change government policies for the development of the domestic solar energy industry, which is going backwards,” and “We must improve the problem areas. by preparing realistic alternatives and encouraging domestic manufacturing companies such as modules.” “We need to provide support so that we can have this global competitiveness,” he said.

Another respondent said, “We have fallen far behind in the competition to increase efficiency and reduce unit costs in the solar module field,” and added, “Regardless of government support, we need to create an environment where the market can renewable energy itself. expand. “There must be a market for technological development and competition,” he said.
