Day10
Net metering 該政策是一種電價結(jié)算政策拴驮，要求電力公司以一定的價格從安裝了可再生能源發(fā)電技術(shù)的用戶買回多余的電力，或者從消費者總賬單上扣除用可再生能源發(fā)電數(shù)量柴信。
Feed-in Tariff 該政策可以保證可再生能源的開發(fā)商以特定的價格出售電力套啤，同時要求電力公司必須購買。
從實施方法上說随常，他們不是不是一回事兒潜沦。
區(qū)別在于：
Net metering是補貼的價錢可以說就是正常的公用電價，當然這種情況只是發(fā)生在你使用了太陽能發(fā)電而且在一定時期內(nèi)使用的電量沒有超過太陽能發(fā)電的量才有補貼绪氛，如果超過了唆鸡，那么從你使用的電量中扣除相應的太陽能產(chǎn)生的電量，在公用電費高的國家是比較劃算的枣察，比如發(fā)達國家争占，在發(fā)展中國家，可以說幾乎不可能實現(xiàn)序目，因為這是虧本的買賣燃乍。
Feed-in Tariff則是國家強制規(guī)定了，電力公司必須購買用戶安裝的太陽能電板產(chǎn)生的電量宛琅，而且是高價收購刻蟹，用戶自己使用的電量照常按照普通民用電價付費，所以這個政策對上網(wǎng)安裝用戶是很劃算的嘿辟，很多太陽能電站以此盈利舆瘪。
選擇新能源和舊能源就類似是選擇買車還是打車
新能源：起價高，但是一次性付完費就省心了红伦，不僅不需要交打車的錢了英古，而且要是自己家的車不用時還能提供順風車服務賺錢
舊能源：一直得花錢打車，結(jié)果順風車出來后搶了好多正常出租車的生意昙读，因為順風車生意（新能源）更便宜
結(jié)果新能源的價格優(yōu)勢降低了整個市場的行情召调，沒利潤了，自然投資者也不愿意去投資
還有很多新舊能源之間銜接的技術(shù)問題蛮浑，比如白天晚上供電量不均衡需要大容量存電設備唠叛，再比如電網(wǎng)得升級換代，要既能給用戶提供電沮稚，還能使個人家太陽能產(chǎn)電多時可以倒買回電網(wǎng)艺沼，而要這么做的話電力公司還要進一步讓利于個人，本來就賺不多蕴掏，這還能存活么障般，但要是全軍覆沒了调鲸，有個什么特殊情況陰天無風政府還沒法處理，政府也很為難挽荡，一方面投資支持新能源環(huán)保藐石，另外也得扶著舊能源，所以不能把舊能源全取締
blabla....反正是惡性循環(huán)
