In Huang Ming's view, China has enormous advantages in developing the solar thermal industry. China is currently a country with a relatively high solar energy utilization rate in the world, and its stock of solar collectors accounts for 76% of the world's total. Take the Sun-Moon Altar · Micro-Emission Building in China Solar Valley—the World Future Valley built by Himin—as an example. Its building area is 75,000 square meters, and it uses dozens of new solar energy technologies. Its energy-saving efficiency reaches 88%, far higher than the national design standard of 50% building energy savings. It can save 2,640 tons of standard coal and 6.6 million kWh of electricity each year, and reduce pollutant emissions by 8,672.4 tons.

　　Huang Ming said that after more than 10 years of innovative development, China's solar thermal industry leads the world in scale, quantity, market maturity, core technologies, and national brands. The proportion of proprietary technology exceeds 95%, making it one of the few purely national industries in China with completely independent intellectual property rights.

　　However, among support funds for new energy demonstrations and the integration of industry, academia, and research, the state's investment in the solar thermal industry is still not large. Huang Ming suggested that investment should be increased in advantageous solar thermal enterprises, especially those with strong R&D capabilities, so as to form a "fist" and conquer the commanding heights.

　　At the same time, he also suggested strengthening research support for integrating the solar thermal industry with buildings. Just as the integration of the photovoltaic industry with buildings is encouraged and subsidized, research on integrating the solar thermal industry with buildings should be subsidized, and enterprises mastering cutting-edge technologies in the solar thermal industry should be supported in building a batch of demonstration projects integrating the solar thermal industry with buildings, similar to Solar Valley, in first-tier cities.

　　Huang Ming cited an example: Shandong's fiscal subsidy policy for solar heat collection systems covers a wide scope, offers high subsidy amounts, and has good results. Full-time boarding schools and three-star (inclusive) hotels that install and use solar water heating systems can receive fiscal subsidies of 50% and 30%, respectively.

　　"Shandong's practice should be promoted nationwide. Following the Shandong model, solar eco-civilization demonstration villages (townships, towns) should be built across the country, solar-building integration demonstration activities should be carried out, and the popularization of solar products should be increased," Huang Ming said.
