The last decade has seen the rise of China as the new center of solar photovoltaic power manufacture, and the next will likely see it become a center of its deployment. The chapter explores the conditions that have enabled China’s rapid expansion into solar PV manufacture, and its broad impact on global competition.
Abstract: The Chinese Government has issued numerous regulations that significantly affect the number of photovoltaic (PV) installations in the country and the subsidies for their use.
In 2021–2022 alone, China has introduced more than 10 support policies to encourage innovation in the development of the photovoltaic industry. Driven by government policy support and improved industry technology, China is gradually developing into one of the world's most important markets for solar PV applications.
The solar PV industry (as well as wind power) was supported and promoted with the explicit aim to create a leader in the global renewable energy market and to export equipment made in China to the promising solar markets in Europe and in USA. China’s government wanted to take its export-oriented, “factory of the world” economy to the next level.
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.
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.

Yehdor is no stranger to solar photovoltaic panels, or what he calls "blue mirrors." In 2006, he received two of these panels through a government project promoting solar power among locals. Since then, the …
China''s rapid manufacturing buildup and the ensuing global financial crisis led to severe manufacturing overproduction. Global PV supply exceeded demand by 102% in 2008 and 168% in 2009 (Zhang, 2009) 2009, as a means of absorbing overproduction, China began incentivizing domestic solar installations with the inception of both the Solar Roofs Program …
Encouraged by government subsidies and policies aimed at limiting carbon emissions, China''s solar industry grew rapidly in recent years to grab nearly 95% of global production capacity. But the aggressive expansion strategy is now backfiring.
Government investment into solar panel producers, subsidies, and access to government bank credit helped Chinese solar companies such as Longi, Suntech, Trinasolar, and more develop into leaders of the global solar …
Many studies have conducted assessments highlighting the enormous potential of China''s solar resources [8, 9, 15, 17] and regional heterogeneity [15, 17, 22, 23], but the results varied widely (Table 1).The assessments of China''s PV power generation potential across different studies varied by up to sixty-fold or more, which can be slightly attributed to the …
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 …
