Paper Title
Research on the Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Development in China
Abstract
Over the past decades, the photovoltaic (PV) industry in China has been developed rapidly. The Chinese
government has played an important role in this stage of PV development, which has issued a series of policies to support the
development of solar energy, and the photovoltaic industry in particular. From 2013 to 2016, the annual installed capacity of
China ranked at the top in the world and the accumulated capacity also ranked at the top globally. In this paper we evaluate the
changes that have occurred in China over recent years in PV industry, demonstrate the governmental policies in different
periods; and changes in the PV industry structure. The analysis section shows how much the PV industry has been diffused
and what will make the development process rapidly. In future, the technique experience and advanced management strategies
of PV development in China can be good reference for the other countries.
