6 FAQs about [China Solar Pilot Policy]
Why is Chinese PV solar policy not a strategic policy?
This is due to the transition of China from a planning system to a market system. First, as we analyzed in Section 3, the number of Chinese PV policy is large. 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.
Should China reassess its solar policy?
Over recent decades, China has risen to a preeminent global position in both solar photovoltaic (PV) adoption and production, a feat underpinned by a suite of pivotal policy measures. With a burgeoning demand for PV systems on the horizon, there is an urgent need to reassess past policies and chart new directions.
Does China's solar policy influence the development of the solar industry?
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.
What is China's PV policy?
The rationale for China’s PV policy is still government management-oriented rather than industry efficiency-oriented. In the last decade, China’s photovoltaic (PV) industry has developed rapidly, with the joint promotion of the world market and domestic policies, and China has now become the largest PV manufacturer in the world.
