Do photovoltaic power generation policy synergies exist in China?

We quantitatively examine photovoltaic power generation policy synergies in China. This study expands the existing quantitative research on policy content analysis. China employs strong administrative power approaches, such as macro planning. Market-oriented approaches have not produced strong synergistic effects in China.

Can photovoltaic power generation improve North China's power supply capacity?

It combines salt production with photovoltaic power generation as PV panels have been installed at a specific height above the salt field. The project aims to improve North China's power supply capability, while exploring a comprehensive industrial model that combines photovoltaic power generation and salt production with aquaculture.

Does China have a potential for solar PV power station installation & generation?

The results of this study indicated that China, as one of the fast-growing countries in the global south, shows outstanding potential for solar PV power station installation and generation potential.

Why are Germany and China scaling back PV power generation?

Currently, Germany and China are scaling back or eliminating subsidies for PV power generation, which increases uncertainty in terms of policy form and market risk. Governments in four countries should rapidly upgrade their long-term policies, including R&D, and supply-push and demand-pull policies, in line with the current state of PV development.

How does China manage photovoltaic power generation?

(3) Research on policy measures indicate that China relies more on traditional administrative resources when formulating photovoltaic power generation policies and employs approaches with strong administrative power, such as macro planning, regulation and supervision, and fiscal policies.

How has PV technology changed from global innovation to China?

Zhang et al. (Zhang and Sims, 2016) indicated that the main drivers of PV technology transferred from the global innovation system to China were global market changes, formation of policy, international mobilization of talent, and flexibility offered byChinese manufacturing. After 2011, China’s PV market also began to growth rapidly.
