American household photovoltaic market continues to expand SEIA is expected to 19 years of installed capacity of up to 15. 8kw

Household photovoltaic net news: the photovoltaic industry association ( SEIA） And market research firm Wood Mackenzie Power&Renewables Wednesday's U. S. photovoltaic market insight into annual review report for 2018, according to the new photovoltaic capacity 10 in 2018. The installation of the 6 gw, compared with 2017 levels declined slightly, but the market in the coming years is expected to rebound.

the report also shows that the country's public utility scale photovoltaic ( In government trump a 30% tariff on imports photovoltaic cells and components before) Photovoltaic power generation sector growth will be more than originally predicted.

　　“ Photovoltaic industry has experienced many frustrations in 2018, largely due to unnecessary tariffs imposed on pv cells and modules, but still found the report optimistic situation, & throughout; SEIA, President and chief executive of Abigail Ross Hopper, said & other; In the next five years, the United States will more than double the total pv installation, proves that the elasticity of the photovoltaic and economic power. It is clear that in the next decade will be a significant growth. ”

American households with the market rebound in a year, of which the industry shrank by 15%, but increased by 7% in 2018. American household market now for five consecutive quarter edged up, in the fourth quarter of 2018 have set the industry's largest quarterly growth in two years, nearly 315000 households increased the photovoltaic (pv). , on the other hand, the United States department of the door with fell by 8%, and scale of public utilities department also appeared a slight contraction, because 201 tariffs had a greater influence on the uncertainty.

overall, photovoltaic (pv) accounted for 29% of all new power, earlier this year because of new natural gas project, so its share slightly lower than in 2017.

Wood Mackenzie Power&Renewables photovoltaic senior analyst Austin Perea said: & other; In 2017 households with photovoltaic (pv) after falling rapidly, the growth in 2018 is by the national and regional diversity of the installation personnel of hybrid driven. With the shift to a more effective sales channels, countries and regions, installation personnel more than the expectation of California and Nevada, which promoted the door with the biggest share of the growth in 2018. ”

in the field of fixed power station, the obvious advantage than a PEMFC SOFC. SOFC is rarely needed to fuel processing, internal restructuring, internal heat integration and design of the internal collection tube make the system more simple, and of SOFC and gas turbine cogeneration and other equipment is also easy to efficiently. The image below for Siemens - Westinghouse developed the world's first SOFC and gas turbine hybrid power plant, it may install in the United States in 2000 at the university of California, 220 kw power, the power generation efficiency is 58%. The future of SOFC will reach 60 - / gas turbine power generation efficiency 70%.

although mixed performance in 2018, but the Wood Mackenzie and SEIA report predicts that from 2020 to 2022, growth will be more strong. The photovoltaic power generation with a total installed capacity in 2019 is expected to increase 14%, annual installed capacity reached 15. 8000 mw ( GW) 。
