The results show that the solar PV installed capacity shows an exponential growth trend in the early stage, mainly because the solar PV subsidy policy plays a crucial role in the early development of the solar PV market, but with the scale and intensification of the PV industry and the decline of subsidies, the growth rate of solar PV installed capacity will
There is a consensus within the international community that replacing traditional fossil energy with renewable energy, such as photovoltaic energy, will help mitigate climate change. However, the literature addressing the rapid development issues of the photovoltaic industry and related carbon dioxide abatement costs is limited. China is currently
However, this growth has followed a very erratic path. This study identifies policies issued through this period for a closer look on the impact of these policies to the solar photovoltaic (SPV) industry development in China. This paper examines five stages in China''s SPV policy from mid-1990s to 2019.
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. Thus, it is hard to understand the logic of China''s policy and this may generate bias in China''s industry
From 2015 to 2018, the CO2 emission reduction of China''s solar photovoltaic industry is divided into 37.73, 37.75,62.07 and 169.88, and the total CO2 emission reduction is 307.43. It can be seen that the solar photovoltaic industry has played an important role in China''s energy conservation and emission reduction. Unit: Megaton (Mt).
China''s PV modules'' production is ranked top in the world, making a significant impact on the world''s renewable energy development and solar PV industrial sector.

China''s solar PV industry has a presence abroad that dates back to the beginning of China''s entry into the solar industry. Unlike China''s wind industry, the solar industries largely relied on an international market for many of its early years, prompting Chinese companies to make greenfield investments in solar abroad as early as 2009 ( AEI, 2019 ).
Rapid solar capacity expansion overwhelms the grid, PV manufacturers compete for market shares, and then large target markets slap import tariffs on Chinese PV products, taking off their
Government policies in China have shaped the global supply, demand and price of solar PV over the last decade. Chinese industrial policies focusing on solar PV as a strategic sector and on
