India introduced regulations to boost the solar energy sector

This week, India announced the regulations, photovoltaic applications enterprises to purchase domestic products, and to develop the amount of subsidies, this resolution can boost the sluggish domestic solar sector in India, but is bound to produce a conflict with the United States and other countries. According to Indian media reports, the new regulations will expand the "local content" requirements extended to thin film solar cells, crystalline silicon wafers from the current, so bring a lifeline for weak domestic photovoltaic industry in India, to avoid competition with cheap imports But from another perspective, photovoltaic applications companies also lose a source of low-priced imports of components in disguise increases the cost of photovoltaic power.

In recent years, India has been trying to develop renewable energy, in order to replace coal, and to meet the huge domestic demand for electricity. In India, at least 400 million rural residents without electricity, 90 million households still use kerosene for cooking and lighting, the energy crisis has become the biggest factor plagued India. Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said that 2017, the installed capacity of renewable energy in India will grow to 55,000 MW PV installed capacity increased by eight times, more than 10,000 MW. The Government of India had said in February this year, will invest up to $ 1.1 billion to subsidize the photovoltaic industry.

At present, more than 60% of India photovoltaic products imported from the United States, the introduction of new regulations immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the United States, the U.S. Trade Representative RobKirk file a complaint to the World Trade Organization, known as India's plan to discriminate against foreign-made wind turbine inverter equipment. Chinese manufacturers Yuhui Solar's 125 square monocrystalline recently approved for use in the Japan solar market.

Japan's national certification system JPEC has formally approved the component, which means that this component products with the Government of Japan for its generous solar feed-in tariff. Allegedly due to Japan's strict grid compatibility requirements and quality standards, JPEC certification is extremely cumbersome (Click PV-Tech special reports). For JPEC certification, Yuhui Solar in cooperation with local suppliers together to provide photovoltaic residential suite of solutions designed for the Japanese market, including 125 square monocrystalline, 156 square single crystal components, as well as the inverter, monitoring and stent system.

Yuhui Solar, is expected to have more products the JPEC certification, including the company's 156 square monocrystalline and polycrystalline 250W components. Yuhui Solar CEO Mr. Li Xianshou shown: JPEC certification is human is the biggest challenge for foreign companies to enter the Japanese solar cell efficiency market. Now, our products have received certification, we are able to increase investment in the Japanese market, and the effective use the country attaches great importance to solar power energy buy-back program. "By working with local suppliers, we are confident for the Japanese market to provide efficient products and localized residential civilian renewable energy solutions."
