Energy efficiency standards for solar water heater can save the tide?

With the air conditioning energy efficiency upgrades lead to the adjustment of the air conditioning industry, recently, the same energy efficiency upgrades will also be staged in the solar water heater industry, five products a natural entry point, consumers can choose evidence-based, of course, with the normative standards the threshold will rise with the industry, but the introduction of energy efficiency standards, so companies will make adjustments followed standard upgrade, you can make solar water heater market reburning life it? Take a look at the two schools of opinion on this issue.

    With the air conditioning energy efficiency upgrades lead to the adjustment of the air conditioning industry, recently, the same energy efficiency upgrades will also be staged in the solar water heater industry, five products a natural entry point, consumers can choose evidence-based, of course, with the normative standards the threshold will rise with the industry, but the introduction of energy efficiency standards, so companies will make adjustments followed standard upgrade, you can make solar water heater market reburning life it? Take a look at the two schools of opinion on this issue.

      Optimists: to promote the industry to enhance the threshold

      Professional Committee of China Energy Conservation Association, solar energy sources, solar water heater energy efficiency standards scheduled for October to trial, to be approved before full implementation. Level of energy efficiency will be different from the energy efficiency of solar water heaters will be divided into five, five is the entry level, one and two are energy-efficient products. The standard to improve industry concentration has an important brand to promote the role, some large companies will get the opportunity to increase market share.

      National Committee for Standardization Secretary-General Jia Tieying Solar also the issue said: "The standard solar products not only improve the quality and technological level of the industry have some role in promoting and regulating the solar market and also to protect the legitimate interests of consumers have some role in safeguarding The standard will be introduced to enhance our international competitiveness of solar energy products play an important role. "

      No doubt the industry experts optimistic about the introduction of energy efficiency standards, are one of the industry and enterprise development opportunities, when the solar water heater with a more comprehensive requirements. Some companies in the past too much emphasis on the ability of a particular aspect of solar water heaters, heat or heat-absorbing techniques such as security level, or even just improve the appearance of the product, in the pursuit of profit maximization by ignoring energy efficient solar water heater needs to achieve comprehensive development of strong endothermic, fast heat conduction, heat protection performance, only emphasized the heat-absorbing or heat protection, thermal conductivity, one aspect of excellence, but also other poor performance down the overall score. The introduction of energy efficiency standards will allow businesses to focus on upgrading technology, energy efficiency and low product will be followed out, there are norms to follow the industry to raise the threshold, prompting the industry to improve the overall level.

      Questions were: inadequate specification alone

      While the introduction of a standard finishing help promote the industry, but there are other school view that the introduction of standards alone is not completely solve the uneven quality solar water heater problem. Defects are not standardized, but China s current regulatory system is still not perfect, China s energy efficiency labeling system to self-declaration and the record companies, government law enforcement and supervision of implementation of the model, refrigerators, air conditioners and other energy-efficiency labeling enabled for some time, but even in the air this development for many years, tend to mature industries, there is still energy-efficient virtual standard, let alone now solar water heater industry is still in the early stages of development, the number of multi-brand, low self-discipline, point of sale are widely distributed, inadequate supervision, only bound by the norms, or be part of the corporate pursuit of profit while ignoring the norms.

      Experts believe that the solar water heater energy efficiency label alone is not enough, energy efficiency standards required by the test of time, industry regulation and standard two-pronged clean-up required, all aspects of solar water heaters Cengceng testing, raw material components from the beginning to the overall quality of the control, to the last packed at the factory, there are standards to follow.

      Whether optimists or challenge school point of view, we must recognize the solar water heater energy efficiency standards adopted for regulating the market is positive initiatives, government and industry experts is working to address industry problems, of course, the industry collation can not be done overnight, business whether it is active to optimize the technology to deliver more energy-efficient products, or to accept the norms of passive restraint, in order to achieve long-term development in the market, improve product quality is an inevitable trend.
