How to achieve large scale solar PV penetration in China

Tang Yi, Southeast University, China

As the worlds largest developing country, China faces a rapidly
increasing demand for energy and the country has also been building a
massive PV industry, but most of this PV production has been exported.
This paper will summarize Chinas public and private sector programs
designed to promote large scale solar PV penetration. These incentive
programs contributed to the impressive growth rates in recent years
while Chinas share of PV installations is quite small compared to global
total installations. Some project examples are used to illustrate the
reasons why some industry companies are worrying to expand their
business in Chinas PV market. Based on the analysis of policies and
programs, this paper discusses the 2011 New Recommendations for
China PV Policy Roadmap released by SEMI and CPIA, and some
suggestions will be proposed to meet the requirements of Chinas PV
market.
