An overview of the most recent development of solar energy in China. A new pattern from stationary to distributive forms of solar energy is highlighted. Reasons for the changing pattern: Diversified prices and subsidies. Challenges and policy options for the expansion of China's solar energy.
Reuters reported that China had installed so many solar panels that they generated more power than the country’s storage and transmission infrastructure could handle. This surplus prompted Chinese authorities to withdraw some price support for the sector, resulting in fewer solar panel installations.
The problem of PV energy curtailment appeared in 2014 in the northwest of China, and a large-scale of solar energy curtailment happened in 2015 . The problem become more serious between 2016 and 2017.
China’s solar photovoltaic (PV) industry’s protracted battle with overcapacity may be drawing to a close, after years of bruising price wars and rapid capacity build-up plunged half the sector into the red, forcing closures and disrupting expansion plans, analysts say.
As China has the world's largest installed capacity of solar energy, the development of the solar power generation in China will have a profound impact on the healthy development of the global solar power industry. Based on the China's experience, the following suggestions are given for the other countries:
China’s significant production of solar panels has led to a dramatic decrease in prices, facilitating the country’s clean-energy transition. However, Chinese manufacturers now face overcapacity issues, raising concerns among the United States, the European Union, and their allies.
