Qianguo solar power generation subsidies

How did China's solar subsidy phase-out affect energy consumption?

The announcement of subsidy phase-out led to a larger energy “rebound effect”. They adjusted electricity usage patterns to maximize revenue from solar electricity. With the impending post-subsidy era, the Chinese government has initiated significant reductions in household photovoltaic (PV) subsidies.

Does China have a PV generation subsidy phase-out policy?

To test our argument, we use the case of the PV generation subsidy phase-out policy in China. China is the world's largest PV market, and the household PV industry has heavily relied on subsidy-based business models (Xiong and Yang, 2016).

How much subsidy do solar panels get in Tianjin?

Since 2018, households that choose to adopt solar panels receive a subsidy of only 0.37 RMB/kWh for each kilowatt-hour of PV power generated. The electricity price for residents in Tianjin is 0.49 RMB/kWh. The reduced subsidy of 0.05 RMB/kWh accounts for nearly 10% of the electricity price, indicating a substantial reduction in the subsidy.

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.

Should PV power price subsidies be reduced gradually?

When PV power price subsidies were reduced gradually, PV enterprises have to enhance the marginal returns in the market through technological progress , which may encourage PV enterprises to pay more efforts into R&D activities and obtain a competitive advantage in the market. 4. Conclusions and Discussion

How will China's post-subsidy era affect the solar Rush?

With the impending post-subsidy era, the Chinese government has initiated significant reductions in household photovoltaic (PV) subsidies. This policy change may have negative implications, such as the emergence of the “solar rush” phenomenon.
