Jinan City recently announced a new energy, light industry, textile industry and equipment manufacturing industry planning in four areas, according to "Jinan City, the new energy industry development plan (2009-2011)", to 2011, Jinan City, will build three Solar industrial base, in which solar energy research and production base in eastern Jinan focus on solar photovoltaic, solar thermal utilization and related ancillary products in the field of research and development, the formation of research in one of the solar industry cluster.

Currently, the "World Solar thermal look at China, China of Shandong, Jinan, Shandong, see" pattern has been formed, according to the survey, in 2008, Shandong solar energy production accounts for about 30%. As of 2008, Shandong cumulative promotion of buy solar panels thermal products more than 1000 square meters, equivalent to 15 years of the European Union, North America 30 years of promotion amount.

Data show Jinan rough tube solar market share of domestic production accounts for 51% of the world's largest production base of solar blank tube. Solar coated tube production accounts for 25% of domestic market share, accounting for over 70% of the high-end market, production and sales in the domestic market first. Therefore, among the four major industrial planning, focusing on cultivating the solar industry as a strong industrial base.

Solar thermal is less investment and quick, economical and practical, energy conservation and alternative energy to achieve a sunrise industry, solar water heater is an energy-saving, environmental, economic, easy to use green products, the development of solar water heater industry, consistent with sustainable development strategy is to build a resource-saving and environment-friendly society to address urban and rural residents with low-temperature hot water and low temperature hot water for industrial and agricultural production with an effective way.

According to industry experts, 2007 is China's solar http://www.sungoldpower.co.uk/ water heater industry, the rapid development of the year. Annual output of 23 million square meters, an increase of 30%, total sales of 32 billion yuan, provided about 2.5 million jobs. In the 2008 to 2009 period, despite the financial crisis, but the solar industry has always been higher than 20% growth pace.

The flagship of the rural market of solar water heaters, hot water works three major international markets and market full speed. With around the introduction of the new rural construction planning and related work, all levels of government departments and towns to install solar water heaters for the farmers as an important work content, while solar energy is included in the scope of subsidies for home appliances, which greatly promoted solar water heater application. At present, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong and some wealthy areas, the promotion rate of 60% -70%, the western region the rural market has started.

Deputy General Manager Li Norit Zhe Liang Wen said that the rural consumer market potential is much greater than we can imagine, the current quality of life of people in improving the level of consumption is also increasing, coupled with the recent state of the implementation of solar water heater subsidies, causing the rural market demand for solar water heaters blowout.
