We examine the evolution of China''s PV policies by using policy instruments analysis. China focused on supply-side policies before 2004 and then turned to demand-side policies. We mapped the milestones of China''s PV policies with the international market share.
China is a quick policy learner that can follow the international policy experience and import them to China. However, Chinese PV solar policy is lack of strategic policy research. For example, the policies that had been launched were mostly made without the guidance of national energy portfolio strategy.
However, based on the limited studies on China’s solar PV policies, the literature only lists China’s existing PV solar policies , , which cannot explain the dynamic trajectory of Chinese solar policy and its relation to the development of the industry.
This paper examines inequality in household adoption of rooftop solar photovoltaics in rural China through a qualitative study of three villages. The Chinese government promotes distributed solar to drive low-carbon development. However, community management and China’s institutional system influence unequal access.
The years of 2008 and 2009 is the key period for Chinese PV policy. Because of the financial crisis in 2008 and the quickly increasing solar manufacturing in China, the government concerned about the “both ends outside” situation of PV solar industry, and launched the concession bidding project with the price of 0.69 RMB/w.
In China, there is no exit mechanism for policy instruments. We shall learn from Germany and Japan, adjusting the balance of the policy mix depending on the different evolving stages of the industry. Fourth, China’s PV solar policy instruments now is gradually transforming from a supply-side to a demand-side one.
In particular, the household photovoltaic industry has witnessed a significant increase in the production capacity of photovoltaic electricity in China, driven by PV generation subsidies (Lu et al., 2019).
We examine the evolution of China''s PV policies by using policy instruments analysis. China focused on supply-side policies before 2004 and then turned to demand-side policies. We mapped the milestones of China''s PV policies with the international market share.
Our paper thereby provided empirical evidence for solar PV to promote household clean energy transition for other developing countries or areas. In addition, we …
Distributed photovoltaic systems (distributed PV) enable rural households to replace traditional energy sources, reduce their household carbon footprint, and generate additional income. Due to the multiple benefits, China increasingly prioritizes developing distributed PV in its rural areas.
This study combines a solar-load uncertainty model and economic analysis to assess the financial impact of adding a reused-battery energy storage system to a photovoltaic assemblage in the context of multi-tariff policies and photovoltaic resource regions in China. First, we classify the types of residents based on the correlation between the users'' electricity …

By scrutinizing policy action areas, policy instruments, and policy targets, this paper elucidates China''s nationally led, top-down approach to photovoltaic development. The goal is to offer an...
Due to their clean and sustainable characteristics, household photovoltaic (PV) products have become an important means to deal with the energy crisis and develop a low-carbon society.
The impact of photovoltaic poverty alleviation policy (PPAP) on household energy poverty is empirically investigated. • The panel data of a tracking survey from 2010 to 2018 is used, and the high-dimensional fixed effect model is employed. • PPAP contributed positively to alleviating household energy poverty. • Regions with advantages of sunlight and farmers'' land …
However, the Key Points of New Energy and Renewable Energy Industry Development Planning 2000–2015, published in 2000, marked the beginning of China''s interest in solar photovoltaic technology [27]. In the early stages, critical technologies such as silicon materials and silicon ingots were heavily reliant on imports. To foster domestic PV technology, …

Photovoltaic poverty alleviation project (PPAP) is one of the "Ten Targeted Poverty Alleviation Strategies" in China announced in 2014. Although it has been confirmed to play a prominent role in poverty alleviation for rural households, its impact on household clean energy choice behaviors has yet to be discovered. Our study analyzes the impact of this …

Photovoltaic (PV) technologies dominate China''s solar industry, with roughly 99% of China''s solar power capacity. Chinese PV manufacturing accounts for the vast majority of global PV production. In 2020, China accounted for 76% of global polysilicon production, 96% of PV wafer production, 78% of PV cell production and 70% of global PV panel ...
Based on the environmental protection attributes of solar PV systems and their promising expectations for rural electrification and poverty eradication (Khan et al., 2018), the Chinese government launched PPAP as a large-scale precision poverty alleviation program in 2013.The Chinese government expects solar PV systems to improve the environment and the …
Our paper thereby provided empirical evidence for solar PV to promote household clean energy transition for other developing countries or areas. In addition, we delved into mechanisms of how this policy prompts rural household energy transition, which helps to understand multiple benefits of solar PV as a form of clean energy. Besides ...

China''s installed capacity of distributed photovoltaic power generated by households has reached about 105 million kilowatts by the end of September, covering more than five million households in the country''s rural areas, data from the National Energy Administration (NEA) showed Tuesday.
The rapid development of solar PV technology has emerged as a crucial means for mitigating global climate change. PV power, with its clean and renewable characteristics, has consistently grown with an annual addition of 82 GW of installations since 2012 [1] 2022, global PV power accounted for 28% of the total renewable energy capacity, contributing 843 …

With the impending post-subsidy era, the Chinese government has initiated significant reductions in household photovoltaic (PV) subsidies. This policy change may have negative implications, such as the emergence of the "solar rush" phenomenon.
In December 2017, the Chinese government announced a reduction of 0.05 RMB/kWh for household photovoltaic subsidies adopted after January 2018. The sudden phase-out of the higher subsidy led to a sharp increase in the number of household photovoltaic installations in December 2017, causing the "solar rush" phenomenon.
In the past decades, China has emerged as the world''s largest emitter of greenhouse gases, with its energy sector accounting for approximately 70% of the country''s carbon emissions (Fang et al., 2022).Just one year, in 2022, China''s carbon dioxide emissions reached a staggering 10.55 billion metric tons, accounting for 30.69% of the global total.
