Solar thermal power project Ordos 50MW project is difficult to super-photovoltaic

A few days ago, the "China's first light-heat power generation project Ordos 50MW project tender in August." The incident has been scolded. According to Wang Zhifeng, head of the national “973” solar thermal power project expert group, this will be the largest domestic CSP project tender. It is reported that Huangming Solar will participate in the bidding of the core components of the project.

Wang Zhifeng stated that the main input of CSP is the cost of the core components in the earlier period. If the material is very poor, the quotation can be very low, but there are many problems in the later stage. Therefore, CSP will no longer be based on the lowest price, but will weigh the performance and stability of the material.

Although some domestic experts believe that the future potential of light and heat is even greater, because its core technologies are available in the country and it is also facing a faster rate of cost reduction, and there are few energy consumption and pollution in the production process, but with light and heat and photovoltaic In comparison, the high cost of CSP is still a problem that hampers its development. However, Wang Zhifeng believes that in the long run, CSP has more advantages, but this still depends on the future technological development speed of the two.

Although Wang Zhifeng believes that the future of light and heat will be better, the industry also believes that the future of solar thermal power generation and photovoltaic power generation will dominate the mainstream, depending on the future cost reduction. In the short term, light and heat may be difficult to challenge the status of photovoltaics.
