Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology has developed rapidly in the past decades and is essential in electricity generation. In this study, we demonstrate the relationship between PV incentive policies, technology
discusses the development direction of China''s solar photovoltaic power generation to provide reference for the healthy development of China''s solar photovoltaic power generation industry.
CSP is a promising technology for solar energy utilization with far-reaching implications for China (Yang et al., 2010).However, an efficient and economical thermal energy storage (TES) system is one of the key factors
In the last decade, the solar photovoltaic (PV) industry in China has developed rapidly, with the joint promotion of the market and policies. China’s PV modules’ production is ranked top in the world, making a significant impact on the world’s renewable energy development and solar PV industrial sector.

(2017) Market dynamics, innovation, and transition in China’s solar photovoltaic (PV) industry: A critical review.
The political and economic environment in China is suitable for the development and growth of the solar PV power industry. In the future, the formulation of PV power industry development plan will increase considering the sustainability and capacity building rather than the government subsidies.
This policy stipulated that the government will develop the solar power industry through supporting policies, the development of relevant standards and the provision of incentives . Other provinces such as Hebei, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Shandong, and Fujian, are taking a similar approach.
The major solar power technology currently available is the solar PV system, in which sunlight is directly converted into electricity via photovoltaic effect. The PV industry in China entered its period of rapid development during the 21st century because of the significant increase in global demand for PV products.
In addition, the policies for the PV projects have expanded from supporting solar PV power plant projects to encouraging the construction of solar buildings. China has abundant solar energy resources. As a result, the solar photovoltaic power industry has undergone significant growth in the last decade and has great potential in the future.
