"Currently, it is necessary to guide the market and industry to adjust development ideas according to the new situation, and shift the focus of photovoltaic development from expanding to upgrading and improving efficiency, and strive to promote technological progress, reduce power generation costs, and reduce subsidy dependence, thereby promoting the orderly development of the industry. High-quality development." The relevant person in charge of the National Energy Administration said recently.
In recent years, the development of the photovoltaic industry has shifted from rough growth to fine-style, high-quality development. However, under the existing bidding system and the increasingly fierce market competition formed over the years, the continuous low-price and low-quality winning bids have left a great hidden danger to the healthy development of the photovoltaic industry. Experts said that winning the bid at the lowest price will inevitably lead to the dilemma of the poor exit and the inferior Hulai, resulting in poor product quality and even a security incident. The industry is not able to “simplely and rudely” in the era of cheap Internet access and subsidies. Aim at the price.
The low price is cited as a controversy, and the low price is easy to lead to low quality.
Recently, the low-priced bid for the PV project has once again caused waves in the industry.
Although the "531 New Deal" has less impact on the front-runner project and the PV poverty alleviation project, the "low-price bid" and even the "lowest bid" have become increasingly fierce.
At a low price, experts in the industry predict that in the short term, the domestic PV market will still be difficult to get rid of the impact of the “531 New Deal”. The prices of products in the industrial chain will continue to be under pressure, and the construction cost of PV power plants will be further reduced. The follow-up of PV projects will continue to be low, and price competition has become the norm in the industry.
This is also a common concern in the photovoltaic industry - low-cost winning bidding influence geometry? Will it lead the Internet at a low price, or will it fall back to the era of vicious low-price competition and worsen the industrial environment?
In this regard, Shi Dingzhen, the president of the China Renewable Energy Society, and Wang Sicheng, a researcher at the Energy Research Institute of the National Development and Reform Commission, jointly issued a statement in the People’s Daily that winning the bid at the lowest price will inevitably lead to the withdrawal of the good and the dilemma of the poor. - "Low price bid" If only considering the price, regardless of the bidder's credit, the reasonable cost and profit of the goods or services with quality assurance, regardless of the subsequent performance and after-sales, then the lowest bid may be enough to cause PV The market order is "cancer." “The first thing that is affected is the quality and longevity of the power station. The owner will also carry the burden of the project’s 'failure' on the back. Although the power station problem has not yet been concentrated, some negative effects have already appeared. No company is willing to pay for it. Engineering, so we have to reduce project costs by simply shoddy, cutting corners, etc., such as using some components and inverters with poor quality."
In fact, it is not uncommon to see that the quality of the products is not good because of the low price of the bid, and even the case of a safety accident.
In the early days, the phenomenon of distributed procurement of photovoltaic components did not pay attention to quality, shoddy and so on. The rumors of late-time and shoddy were rumored, resulting in poor operation of many PV projects.
The person in charge of a certain PV enterprise market feels deeply about this. "The use of inferior components and the uneven quality of engineering installations have caused power generation to fall short of design requirements, and even safety hazards such as lightning strikes, collapses, and fires have brought the entire PV investment industry. It’s a painful lesson.”
Many experts have called for adhering to the high-quality development route, insisting on providing high-quality products and quality services, and promoting the healthy and orderly development of the photovoltaic industry is the current development of "king".
In the face of the photovoltaic winter period after the "531" New Deal, how to prevent malicious low-price bids and promote the healthy development of the industry?
Many experts said that at the policy mechanism level, comprehensive measures should be taken from the aspects of supervision and management and responsibility implementation.
He Lifeng said, "The key is to strengthen the supervision of quality, strengthen the implementation of product quality responsibility system, and clarify that the winning bidder should bear the overall responsibility for product quality. Improve the social credit system, include the production of inferior products into the list of dishonesty, and implement joint punishment. Increase the cost of corporate illegality."
In this regard, a number of representatives of enterprises that have been deeply harmed by low-price bids also said, “For bidders who have experienced serious quality, safety accidents and serious bids and failures, performance failures, bribery and bribery, and inspection agencies and personnel who violate laws and regulations, It is necessary to deal with it seriously in accordance with the law and restrict its entry into the bidding and bidding market and the regulatory field. At the same time, it is necessary to improve the accountability mechanism in the process of government bidding. Once quality problems are found, even the lowest price, the responsible party of the bidding party should be held accountable."
Beyond the policy level, in fact, for PV power plant project owners, the most important thing is the long-term quality assurance and maintenance of PV power plants. "If the winning bidder closes and closes, who will guarantee the normal and healthy operation of the PV power plant project in the next 20 years? Who will urge the bidding for the winning PV project in the future?"
