Where is the photovoltaic (PV) market developing?

Figure 7. The photovoltaic (PV) market development in China, Germany, Japan and the USA from 1990 to 2017 (Data source: IEA. PVPS. National Survey Report of PV Power Applications). By the end of 2009, the cumulative PV installed capacity in China was only 300 MW.

How has fit policy influenced the growth of PV market in China?

Thus, the FiT policy has driven the rapid growth of the PV market in China. In 2015, “a Top Runner Program” was introduced to encourage Chinese PV companies to invest in PV R&D (IEC, 2018). With the expansion of the domestic PV market, the PV product capacity in China continues to grow.

Is small rooftop photovoltaic a good investment in China?

The results show that: For small rooftop photovoltaic in China, first of all, under the existing subsidy price and cost, its investment payback period is short and the risk is low. Secondly, the average internal rate of return is more than 10%, and the levelized cost of electricity is 0.2727–0.5573CNY/kWh, so the economic performance is good.

What are the different types of photovoltaic agriculture in China?

At present, there are four major modes of photovoltaic agriculture in China: photovoltaic planting, photovoltaic breeding, photovoltaic water conservancy and photovoltaic cottages (Xue, 2017). The “Photovoltaic + industry” refers to the integration of industrial and commercial plant roofs with PV applications.

Do policies affect the diffusion of PV technology in Germany and Japan?

Chowdhury et al. (Chowdhury et al., 2014) showed the impact of policies on the diffusion of PV technology in Germany and Japan and identified that the policies implemented during different periods are the key factors that affected the diffusion of PV in both countries.

What is the subsidy policy of rooftop photovoltaic power generation project?

The subsidy policy of “spontaneous use, surplus electricity online” rooftop photovoltaic power generation project. Subsidy standard is adjusted to 0.37 CNY/kWh (tax included). Subsidy standard is adjusted to 0.37 CNY/kWh (tax included). Subsidy standard is adjusted to 0.32 CNY/kWh (tax included). 3.4. Life cycle costs 3.4.1. Initial costs
