How to promote PV deployment in Korea?

In this context, many support measures were designed and implemented. Korea’s current policy structure to promote PV deployment can be categorized into four areas: 1) subsidies for installation, 2) incentives, 3) obligatory measures, and 4) infrastructure building.

What are the new measures favouring the development of PV in Korea?

Measures favouring the development of large-scale PV, ground-mounted, floating, or agricultural are discussed in Korea but not specifically introduced as new measures except the REC weighting factor of 1,5 for floating PV as described in Section 3.2.3. Floating PV on the lakes is getting popular in Korea (with potential of ~10 GW).

Why are mini-PV installations becoming popular in Korea?

This type of mini-PV installations is becoming popular in Korea to reduce the electricity bill burden during the summer. Korean government also runs the so-called ‘Energy Voucher’ system to help the handicapped or vulnerable households to pay the energy bills during the summer and winter periods.

Why are PV systems combining with ESS so popular in Korea?

In Korea, PV systems combined with ESS were previously spotlighted, because the system has been awarded with higher subsidies, multiplied REC (Renewable Energy Certificate) values. However, the systems combining PV and ESS recently suffered from many unspecified fire accidents.

What is the on-water PV potential in Korea?

In addition, K-Water can utilize 8% of the dams, which sums up to 3,7 GW. Therefore, the total on-water PV potential in Korea is estimated to be about 9,7 GW. Floating PV gets 1,5 REC multipliers under current RPS scheme and thus is quite attractive to the developers.

Does Korea offer a Solar Lease program?

Korea Energy Agency (KEA) offers solar lease program for households which use electricity more than 200 kWh/month on the average in the previous year period.
