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.
Few studies applied regional data in a single country to analyze the influence of support policies on solar PV industry. Moreover, no research studies performed the spatial effect of subsidies on solar PV installation volumes in China. Therefore, we select panel data of 31 provincial units in China from 2011 to 2018.
In addition, government subsidies can reduce research and development costs of PV companies. Moreover, it is beneficial to achieve the collaborative innovation of PV industry chain between PV manufacturers and solar cell suppliers. Third, most control variables pass the significance test.
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.
The European Union and national governments are beginning to recognize that battery energy storage will play a key role in the expansion of solar PV and other renewables across Europe. Grid-scale batteries are still a niche technology, and the rollout of projects will have to accelerate much faster to fulfill its potential.
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.

Solar Cell: Working Principle & Construction (Diagrams Included)
A solar cell functions similarly to a junction diode, but its construction differs slightly from typical p-n junction diodes.A very thin layer of p-type semiconductor is grown on a relatively thicker n-type semiconductor.We then apply a few finer electrodes on the top of the p-type semiconductor layer.. These electrodes do not obstruct light to reach the thin p-type layer.
How do solar cells work? Photovoltaic cells explained
A solar module comprises six components, but arguably the most important one is the photovoltaic cell, which generates electricity.The conversion of sunlight, made up of particles called photons, into electrical energy by a solar cell is called the "photovoltaic effect" - hence why we refer to solar cells as "photovoltaic", or PV for short.
