The large scale of China''s photovoltaic (PV) industry and the great policy support by the Chinese government make it necessary to scientifically evaluate PV industry policy. This study

Downloadable (with restrictions)! In recent years, the diffusion of photovoltaic distributed generation (PVDG) has played a key role in achieving climate and energy policies goals. This
The key to making solar energy an even more successful industry is to not only educate the general public on its benefits and large potential, but also to deliver the benefits of solar photovoltaics to participating customers. Support

Policy support remains a principal driver of solar PV deployment in the majority of the world. Various types of policy are behind the capacity growth, including auctions, feed-in tariffs, net-metering and contracts for difference.
Support for solar PV should assess and respond to the impacts of deployment on: grid systems balancing; grid connectivity; and financial incentives – ensuring that we address the challenges of deploying high volumes of solar PV. The Solar PV Roadmap, published in October 2013, established the principles for solar PV deployment in the UK.
Support for solar PV should assess and respond to the impacts of deployment on: grid systems balancing; grid connectivity; and financial incentives – ensuring that we address the challenges of deploying high volumes of solar PV. 7. This Roadmap sets out these principles – covering what has been done to date, and where further work is needed.
Support for solar PV should allow cost-effective projects to proceed and to make a cost-effective contribution to UK carbon emission objectives in the context of overall energy goals – ensuring that solar PV has a role alongside other energy generation technologies in delivering carbon reductions, energy security and affordability for consumers.
Support for solar PV should deliver genuine carbon reductions that help meet the UK’s target of 15 per cent renewable energy from final consumption by 2020 and in supporting the decarbonisation of our economy in the longer term – ensuring that all the carbon impacts of solar PV deployment are fully understood.
At the moment, incentives are necessary as solar PV is yet to become competitive with other energy sources in the UK. The Government has put in place a range of incentives and support mechanisms to support solar PV (which vary in applicability and detail across the Devolved Administrations).
