To our knowledge, rare studies make a comprehensive analysis on China's solar PV policies, particularly on policies implemented during 2011–2012. The purpose of this paper is to make an effort to fill this gap. It contributes to the academic literature over China's solar PV power policies.
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.
Solar PV cumulative installation in China (Xu, 2023). While China has made significant strides in leading the global development and deployment of solar photovoltaic (PV) technology, there is currently no distinct obligation for handling the waste generated by the end-of-life of solar PV installations.
The measures came as a way to promote the healthier development of China's fast-developing PV industry, which has already made new breakthroughs in the past year, setting records in annual new installations, new distributed PV installations, total solar power installations and PV exports, said the China Photovoltaic Industry Association.
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.
The major barriers for the development of solar PV power currently in China are the deficiencies of the national FIT scheme and the lack of sound technical and administration standards for grid-connection of solar PV systems. 4.1. Deficiencies of the national FIT scheme
