Seeking photovoltaic panel enterprise cooperation projects

Do government photovoltaic subsidies affect enterprise independent innovation in China?

Achieving a green, low-carbon economy necessitates clarifying the impacts of government photovoltaic (PV) subsidies on enterprise independent innovation in China. This study constructs a tripartite evolutionary game model among government, enterprises, and energy regulatory service centers (ERSC).

What is co-operative innovation in the photovoltaic industry?

Cooperative innovation spread from the east to west in space and from the central area to surrounding cities. In terms of the industry chain, the initial innovation cooperation (in 2010) of the photovoltaic industry focused on mid-stream links such as solar cells and module manufacturing.

What drives the innovation network dynamics of the photovoltaic industry?

The innovation ability of the actors in the network is one of the driving factors of the innovation network dynamics of the photovoltaic industry. The actors with strong innovation abilities show outstanding performance in innovation resources, internal culture, and management philosophy.

Why is China focusing more on solar photovoltaic (PV)?

The solar photovoltaic (PV) power is abundant, clean, and convenient and also has been considered as one of the most promising renewable energies [5, 6]. Due to the ever-increasing energy and environmental pressures, China is switching to focus more on fostering the PV industry.

How do PV Enterprises get energy subsidies?

PV enterprises can submit requests for energy subsidies to ERSC, which then presents these requests to relevant government departments. The ERSC serves as an information hub, providing feedback on government policies to enterprises and offering guidance and recommendations.

How is China's photovoltaic industry innovation network evolving?

The proportion of cooperative activities within firm groups has remained above 40% for a long time. Moreover, the leading firms in the industry also play a leading role in the innovation network. Innovation ability and organizational proximity play key roles in the evolution of China's photovoltaic industry innovation network.
