The photovoltaic industry develops
rapidly in China in recent years. China became the world's largest producer of
photovoltaic products in 2007 with the export value of USD 2,838 million. In
2013, the export value of photovoltaic products exceeded USD 10 billion. The
export of photovoltaic products from China is hindered by anti-dumping
measures taken by developed countries and some emerging markets.

After nearly 10 years of rapid
development, Chinese photovoltaic industry entered into a difficult period as
overseas photovoltaic market shrank in 2011. Chinese government issued a
series of policies to support the photovoltaic industry. In 2011, the National
Energy Administration raised the expected production of photovoltaic electric
power during the Twelfth Five-Year (2011-2015) for twice. Meanwhile, the
Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China issued documents to
support development of BIPV technology. On February 1, 2012, the Ministry of
Finance of China published the Circular on the Implementation of "Golden
Sun" Demonstration Project to promote large-scale application of
photovoltaic power generation and industrial development. The State Council of
China issued the Suggestions on Promoting the Healthy Development of
Photovoltaic Industry and a series of supportive policies in 2013.
Photovoltaic power generation developed rapidly in China in recent years. The
output volume of photovoltaic cell modules was 26 GW in China in 2013,
accounting for over 60% of the global number. The export volume was 16 GW
while the export value was USD 12.7 billion. As domestic market grew rapidly,
new installation volume exceeded 12 GW while the total volume exceeded 20 GW.
The proportion of sales volume of cell modules in domestic market increased
from 15% in 2010 to 43%.
By the end of 2013, the installed
capacity of power generation in grid-connected operation reached 19.42 GW,
including 16.32 GW in photovoltaic power stations and 3.1 GW of distributed
PV. Total annual power generating capacity was 9 billion kWh. New photovoltaic
power generation capacity was 12.92 GW, including 12.12 GW in photovoltaic
power stations and 0.8 GW of distributed PV. In early 2013, State Grid started
to provide qualified photovoltaic power generation projects (run by
individuals or organizations) with free grid connection services. Photovoltaic
power generation project with the capacity below 6 MW can apply for grid
connection in local power grid companies. The companies will complete the
installation for free within 45 days and purchase the surplus electric power
of photovoltaic power generation projects with the price of 1 CNY/kWh, which
is over twice of that of thermal power.
According to available data, 22
regions, mainly in Southwest China, completed the grid connection of over 700
large-scale photovoltaic power generation projects by the end of 2013. Gansu,
Qinghai and Xinjiang were the top 3 regions with the installed capacity of
4.32 GW, 3.1 GW and 2.57 GW r
espectively. The total capacity of
the 3 regions accounted for over 60% of the total number in photovoltaic power
stations.
In China, distributed PV is mainly
concentrated in eastern areas with large consumption of electric power. The
grid-connected capacity in East China and North China was 1.45 GW and 0.49 GW,
which accounted for 60% of national distributed PV. Zhejiang, Guangdong and
Hebei were the top 3 regions with the grid-connected capacity of 160 MW, 110
MW and 70 MW respectively. The total capacity of the 3 regions accounted for
over 40% of the total number of distributed PV.
Average cost of photovoltaic power
generation exceeded 4 CNY/kWh in China in 2006. The number in some enterprises
decreased to 1 CNY/kWh in 2013. Once grid parity of photovoltaic power
generation is realized, Chinese photovoltaic industry will transform from
government subsidies to market-driven industry and embrace great opportunities
for development.
The number of photovoltaic enterprises
increased from dozens in early 21st century to hundreds and decreased to 50 or
so in global financial crisis in 2008. The amount of investment increased in
the industry as Chinese economy recovered and global demand increased. By the
end of 2013, the number of photovoltaic enterprises exceeded 100 in China.
However, not all photovoltaic
enterprises can gain further development though Chinese government reinforced
the support for industrial development and boosted promising prospect. Many
problems exist in Chinese photovoltaic industry. Key technologies, such as
materials and equipment, and basic development lack further improvement
compared with international advanced level. Financial and policy support lays
particular stress on application while R&D is neglected. Moreover, related
policies such as grid-connected power generation lack specific operation
methods.
