Current policies on photovoltaic power generation

What are the main policies for PV power generation?

In the operation phase, electricity sales policies are the main policies. Government supports different forms of PV power generation projects at different stages according to its policy orientation. In the future, policies should focus on the distributed PV power generation, rather than on concentrated PV power.

Should PV application policy focus on concentrated PV power generation?

In the future, policies should focus on the distributed PV power generation, rather than on concentrated PV power. The experience of developing PV application policy in China has a few implications for the future policy. First of all, it is better to balance supply-type, demand-type and environment-type policies.

Are photovoltaic power generation policies effective?

Existing qualitative research on photovoltaic power generation policies has preferred sorting, summarizing, and performing comparative analyses of policies, focusing on their effectiveness and efficiency. Meanwhile, policy synergies have been ignored when studying the effectiveness of photovoltaic power generation policies.

Who formulates policies on photovoltaic power generation?

Nevertheless, policies on photovoltaic power generation have been mainly formulated by a single department: the National Development and Reform Commission or the National Energy Administration. In addition, as shown in Fig. 1, before 2009, there were no multiple departments formulating or issuing policies without synergy between departments.

What are the policy goals of photovoltaic power generation?

The policy goals of photovoltaic power generation are divided into three aspects: improving technology and promoting production, promoting construction and application, and guaranteeing and maintaining application effects.

Are China's policies on photovoltaic power generation consistent?

The results show that changes in the degree of synergy between policy goals and measures tend to be consistent and that China's policies on photovoltaic power generation have gradually shifted to the combined use of different policy measures.
