Introduction to Photovoltaic Solar Energy
Photovoltaic (PV) solar cells transform solar irradiance into electricity. Solar cells, primarily made of crystalline silicon, are assembled in arrays to produce PV modules. PV systems vary in size, from rooftop installations with just a few modules to utility-scale power plants with millions of them. The global solar PV capacity is ramping up quickly. This is expected to continue due to two

China''s solar photovoltaic policy: An analysis based on policy
However, based on the limited studies on China''s solar PV policies, the literature only lists China''s existing PV solar policies [7], [8], which cannot explain the dynamic trajectory of Chinese solar policy and its relation to the development of the industry. Thus, it is hard to understand the logic of China''s policy and this may generate bias in China''s industry

Are solar photovoltaic policies affecting China's solar industry development?
However, this growth has followed a very erratic path. This study identifies policies issued through this period for a closer look on the impact of these policies to the solar photovoltaic (SPV) industry development in China. This paper examines five stages in China's SPV policy from mid-1990s to 2019.
How does government policy change in the SPV sector?
Each stage has implemented different combinations of policy program. These changes in government policy and the effects to the SPV sector are attributed to three main sets of variables. First and foremost, the events that influence the policy and strategy priorities of Chinese government.
How does the government regulate the PV industry?
To regulate the PV industry and ensure its healthy development, the central government introduced a series of standards covering the design, construction, acceptance, and land use of solar PV stations. 4.2.3. Promotion and application of PV technology During this period, the domestic PV market experienced rapid development.
Which countries are covered by solar PV policies?
The research chose 20 countries as the leading cases to represent the outcome of policies through using the cumulative installed capacity of solar PV in the year 2014, as shown in Table 4. However, instead of Bulgaria (ranking 20th), South Africa (ranking 21st) was included so that all five continents are fully covered.
What factors contribute to PV policies?
There are two main categories of contributing factors to PV policies, namely, the economic and governance status, including GDP and democracy level, and the overall national energy and innovation capabilities of a country, including RE investment and RD expenditure.
What is the role of regulations in PV power sector?
And thus the regulations in PV power sector was put in the central role located in the red connection to enhance the sustainable development of China's PV sector. Fig. 5. The PV Policy themes network in the Third Stage. 4.3.1. Feed-in tariff scheme A significant turning point in PV policy during this stage was the reduction in subsidies.
