2019 solar container policy analysis

What are the key events affecting solar energy policy?

The analysis identifies key events and major policy shifts, such as the anti-dumping investigations in 2011, feed-in tariff rebates, the release of the "13th Five-Year Plan" for Solar Energy Development in 2016, and the "carbon peak and carbon neutrality aims" (dual carbon aims) proposed in 2021.

What are the challenges preventing accelerated solar energy deployment?

The accelerated case requires that governments address the three main challenges preventing faster deployment: 1) policy and regulatory uncertainty; 2) high investment risks in developing countries; and 3) system integration of wind and solar electricity in some countries.

Why does China need a stable policy framework for solar PV market development?

The central government has placed significant emphasis on renewable energy, particularly solar PV technology. China's rapidly growing PV industry greatly benefited from the domestic supportive polices. Hence, maintaining stable policy framework and expectations is pivotal for market development .

Should China reassess its solar policy?

Over recent decades, China has risen to a preeminent global position in both solar photovoltaic (PV) adoption and production, a feat underpinned by a suite of pivotal policy measures. With a burgeoning demand for PV systems on the horizon, there is an urgent need to reassess past policies and chart new directions.

What is IEA renewables 2019?

Data is now available through the .Stat Data Explorer, which also allows users to export data in Excel and CSV formats. Renewables 2019 is the IEA market analysis and forecast from 2019 to 2024 on renewable energy and technologies. It provides global trends and developments for renewable energy in the electricity, heat and transport sectors.

How did the feed-in tariff for solar PV power change in 2019?

As a result, the feed-in tariff for solar PV power transitioned from being subsidy-driven to prioritizing grid parity. In 2019, the construction of grid parity LSPV projects and low-cost access pilot projects began. Furthermore, subsidies for household DSPV were differentiated and set higher than those for industrial and commercial DSPV.
