6 FAQs about [Zhongfeng Solar Photovoltaic Power Generation]
What is the growth rate of photovoltaic technology in China?
According to Fig. 2, between 1992 and 2018, the innovation in photovoltaic energy generation, distribution, and transmission technologies rose by an average of 20% in China.
Do photovoltaic power generation policy synergies exist in China?
We quantitatively examine photovoltaic power generation policy synergies in China. This study expands the existing quantitative research on policy content analysis. China employs strong administrative power approaches, such as macro planning. Market-oriented approaches have not produced strong synergistic effects in China.
How did the financial crisis affect China's photovoltaic industry?
The 2007–2008 financial crisis hampered the exports of China's photovoltaic industry. To boost the development of this industry, a series of policy measures were introduced in 2009 to promote the application of photovoltaic power generation in the Chinese market, with many photovoltaic power generation projects being approved.
How does China manage photovoltaic power generation?
(3) Research on policy measures indicate that China relies more on traditional administrative resources when formulating photovoltaic power generation policies and employs approaches with strong administrative power, such as macro planning, regulation and supervision, and fiscal policies.
What is the progress made in solar power generation by PV technology?
Highlights This paper reviews the progress made in solar power generation by PV technology. Performance of solar PV array is strongly dependent on operating conditions. Manufacturing cost of solar power is still high as compared to conventional power. Abstract
Is China's photovoltaic industry a high-tech sector?
Given that the PV industry is widely regarded as a high-tech sector, and in comparison to US-based rivals First Solar and SunPower, which spent an average of 8.93 percent and 3.67 percent of their sales on R&D between 2013 and 2015, the portfolio in rigorous R&D by Chinese photovoltaic companies appears to be quite low (Gandenberger, 2018).
