2015 will see an increase the role of China in the solar energy

When we look at the future of renewable energy in the year and try to divine the development of the solar market in Australia, we will get the first conclusion, one is the importance of neighboring countries. I'm talking about here continuously, China in solar energy in Australia.

It is no exaggeration to say that cheap, high-quality solar panels from China has to promote domestic demand in Australia's solar panels. Despite the vast solar farms and abundant sunshine, Australia lags behind the rest of renewable energy in the world. We did not take our rightful place, one leader, to develop large-scale renewable energy in the world.

Perhaps the most obvious is that the government does not act, only that offensive, in favor of support for pollution and increasingly expensive fossil fuels, solar energy industry policy. Refused to support the solar industry, which deprives some form of investor uncertainty, "boom and bust" approach now familiar in the market has been very popular.

Mistaken for us "punch above our weight" from all the problems of international diplomacy, to sporting events, for energy policy. But really, this may be for other areas, it lacks credibility when it comes to renewable energy and climate policies. Here, we are content to sit and let the world take the lead, it appears, with a modest rise of successive governments of the door.

Ordinary Australians know when they are in is a good thing. Although by tariff support almost disappeared throughout the country, Australians have found the key to China's solar panel installation is affordable solar home systems. For this reason, we are well over one million families are powered by solar energy systems. A remarkable achievement.

According to some analysts, although the supply of affordable panel has driven from the consumer, "crushed" Australian solar market, which also hampers - even destroy - Australia photovoltaic solar panel manufacturers in the production. This is not only a phenomenon in Australia. From countries such as the United States, who are not exactly angels when it comes to subsidies to export industries gain a competitive advantage looming trade war called protectionism.

"I believe that the sun will be at the forefront of this technological progress. Solar is rapidly becoming more affordable," he said. "The cost of solar power is now 50% lower than it was three years ago." "The cost of solar power generation in China has dropped to less than 1.4 trillion yuan per kilowatt-hour, if we continue this trend, I expect that in 3-5 years the cost of solar power generation will be close to a coal-fired power," Lee added.

2015 will see an increase in the role of China in the solar energy in Australia? If so, this is a good or bad factors in our development of the renewable energy industry, you can add your thoughts below.
