What is DG PV in China?

For example, other studies have defined DG PV in China to include all rural electrification, communications, and industrial applications and all PV on buildings (IEA-PVPS, 2014 ). In general, the higher a project's IRR, the more desirable it is to investors and the more likely it is to result in a market response.

How has China's photovoltaic market-development strategy changed since 2013?

Beginning in 2013, China's photovoltaic (PV) market-development strategy witnessed a series of policy changes aimed at making distributed-generation PV (DG PV) development an equal priority with large-scale PV development. This article reviews the DG PV policy changes since 2013 and examines their effect on China's domestic DG PV market.

Why is distributed photovoltaic generation important?

Distributed photovoltaic generation is an important measure to address climate change and boost rural revitalization. In the context of new energy grid parity, driving rooftop distributed photovoltaics to participate in the green power trading market is an inevitable necessity for energy and market development.

How much does DG PV installation cost in China?

The typical cost of a multi-MW DG PV system in 2014 is 7–10 RMB/W: 70% of this as hardware costs and 30% as soft costs. Even though there are uncertainties in our assessment, the soft costs of DG PV installation in China appear to be very low compared to costs in other countries.

What is the average size of PV projects in China?

The data, as shown in Table 1 (cumulative installations) and Fig. 1 (annual installations), provide detailed information on the status of PV projects in China, including the average size of projects as well as information about projects in the pipeline. The average size of PV projects installed in China is 16.2 MW.

Can China install photovoltaics?

The estimated technical potential for installing photovoltaics (PV) in China is up to 2070 GW or 1.7 times the country's cumulative electricity capacity in 2013 (see Table A1 in Appendix A). Beginning in 2009, the Chinese government formulated a series of policies and regulations to encourage domestic PV deployment.
