Interpretation of photovoltaic support development policy

Can policy support improve the development of China's photovoltaic industry?

In this context, discussing the role of policy support in the development of China's photovoltaic industry and the policy preference strategies, improving the policy coordination efficiency of China's photovoltaic industry so as to promote the high-quality development of the industry, has become an important issue that needs to be resolved.

How tax support plays a vital role in photovoltaic industry?

As can be seen from the above figure, the indicators at the government level are sorted into tax policy, subsidy policy, regulation and supervision policy, standard policy and development demonstration policy, which tells us that tax support plays a vital role in the development of photovoltaic industry.

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.

What is the policy strength of the photovoltaic industry?

The policy strength of the photovoltaic industry includes national-level policy strength and regional policy strength. The regional policy strength will be given the weight on the proportion of the regional PV installed capacity in the China’s PV installed capacity. The regression results are shown in Table 3, Table 4, Table 5 and Table 6. Table 3.

How are photovoltaic power generation policies evaluated?

Initially, the evaluation of photovoltaic power generation policies mainly focused on qualitative evaluations, which revealed existing problems by sorting the types of policies and summarizing the impacts of their implementation ( Huo and Zhang, 2012; Grau et al., 2012; Zhang et al., 2014; Yang and Zhao, 2018; Gao and Rai, 2019 ).

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.
