Solar power generation photovoltaic power generation subsidies

Does government R&D subsidy promote PV installation?

Furthermore, it is significant to set up incentive mechanism to promote the development of local economy and to achieve the upgrade of PV industry. Second, the government R&D subsidy plays a positive role in promoting PV system installation. Based on the estimation results, R&D subsidy has a significant positive effect on PV installation.

Are government subsidies affecting the production capacity of photovoltaic electricity in China?

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 enterprises’ competitiveness in the global market.

Do government subsidies affect photovoltaic industry?

We apply spatial econometric model to analyze the performance of government subsidies on photovoltaic industry. The installed capacity of photovoltaics has shown a significant spatial agglomeration situation since 2012. The feed-in tariff and R&D subsidy policies play a positive incentive to the photovoltaic installed capacity.

Should PV power price subsidies be reduced gradually?

When PV power price subsidies were reduced gradually, PV enterprises have to enhance the marginal returns in the market through technological progress , which may encourage PV enterprises to pay more efforts into R&D activities and obtain a competitive advantage in the market. 4. Conclusions and Discussion

Why are solar energy subsidies important?

The scale of subsidies is in inverse correlation with the distribution of solar energy resources in some regions. Energy is the basis for development of material civilization. Since fossil energy can cause environmental problems, clean energy has become the trend of energy development. Solar energy is a kind of resource-rich and clean energy.
