Since the end of the 20th century, the Chinese government has attached importance to and has provided strong support for the development and application of renewable energy. This has become a significant strategic goal for China's future energy ( Huang and Wang, 2018 ). Photovoltaic (PV) power generation is an important form of solar energy use.
This analysis supported conclusions related to PV power application policies in China. Based on the degree of the government's attention on PV development and the number of policies, four stages were defined: start-up, growth, explosion, and recession. Currently, the government shows concerns about the direction and development of the market.
The measures came as a way to promote the healthier development of China's fast-developing PV industry, which has already made new breakthroughs in the past year, setting records in annual new installations, new distributed PV installations, total solar power installations and PV exports, said the China Photovoltaic Industry Association.
According to the National Energy Administration, by the end of December 2018, the national photovoltaic power generation capacity reached 174 million kilowatts. Fig. 1 shows the annual installed capacity of PV power generation in China. The growth rate reaches the peak in 2011.
To our knowledge, rare studies make a comprehensive analysis on China's solar PV policies, particularly on policies implemented during 2011–2012. The purpose of this paper is to make an effort to fill this gap. It contributes to the academic literature over China's solar PV power policies.
The plan specifies that by the end of 2015, the installed capacity of distributed power generation and large power station should both reach 10 GW. This implies that distributed solar PV power generation should be regarded as an important part of China's future solar PV market application.
