6 FAQs about [Solar power generation subsidies in China]

Does government subsidies affect photovoltaic energy production in China?

This research was funded by the National Social Science Foundation of China (20BGL046). Government subsidies (GSs) have triggered a remarkable increase in the production capacity of photovoltaic (PV) electricity in China. However, the lack of core technologies has limited PV enterpris...

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.

What happened to PV subsidies in China?

The most significant reduction in household PV subsidies occurred in December 2017. The Chinese government announced a subsidy reduction of 0.05 RMB/kWh for household PV generation after January 2018. This means that households that installed and used PVs after 2018 had to accept lower PV generation subsidies of 0.37 RMB/kWh.

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).

Do government subsidies improve the innovation efficiency of China's PV industry?

Some scholars have used data envelopment analysis and the Tobit model to analyze the relationship between the development of China's PV industry and government subsidies, and the study shows that government subsidies play an important role in improving the innovation efficiency of China's PV industry (Lin and Luan, 2020).
