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.

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 much solar power does China have in 2021?

In 2021, 53 GW of solar power capacity was added in China—40% of the global total. 47 At year end, total solar power capacity reached 307 GW. 48 In the first half of 2022, roughly 31 GW of solar power were added to the grid in China. 49 China also leads the world in solar manufacturing, as it has for many years.

How did the financial crisis affect China's photovoltaic industry?

The 2007–2008 financial crisis hampered the exports of China's photovoltaic industry. To boost the development of this industry, a series of policy measures were introduced in 2009 to promote the application of photovoltaic power generation in the Chinese market, with many photovoltaic power generation projects being approved.
