Is Guangdong power grid promoting the development of photovoltaic systems?

Statistics released at the forum showed that in recent years Guangdong Power Grid has been committed to promoting the development of photovoltaic systems.

How did China develop a competitive solar PV industry?

The free flow of capital (for example, foreign finance-backed start-ups), talent (for example, international collaborations with Chinese researchers) and innovations (for example, technologies pioneered in labs overseas and licensed and mass-produced in China) were essential to the rise of China’s competitive solar PV industry 14.

Does a globalized solar photovoltaic module supply chain save money?

Modelling shows that a globalized solar photovoltaic module supply chain has resulted in photovoltaic installation cost savings of billions of dollars.

Why is it important to scale up solar PV manufacturing capacities?

It is important to scale up solar PV manufacturing capacities as well as ensure supply chain resilience and energy security; this would push companies to build capacities in a geographically distributed manner and reduce the reliance on one country/region.

How can we increase solar investments to achieve energy transition objectives?

However, more needs to be done to increase solar investments to the required level to achieve energy transition objectives. This can be done through a variety of innovative instruments to mobilize finance.
