In this study, we demonstrate the relationship between PV incentive policies, technology innovation and market development in China, Germany, Japan and the United States
Platzer et al. (Platzer, 2016) pointed out that the introduced incentive policies were the key factors to affecting the PV deployment and that they helped to initiate the early niche markets in the United States. Since the 1990s, Japan and Germany have become the leading countries in solar PV development.
Zhi et al. examined the development history of China’s PV industry policy system from the perspective of industrial policies, and conducted a comparative analysis among China, United States, Germany, and Japan from the perspective of both the supply- and demand-side policies.
Finally, we provide an outlook on the future of PV technology in the four countries and present future challenges and policy recommendations based on the current situation. Figure 1. Research structures. Table 1 shows the history footprint of incentive policies for solar PV technology development in China, Germany, Japan, and the USA.
The PV industry policy measures not only affect the industry in the promulgation year, but also have an accumulative effect until they are repealed. Therefore, as described in Section 3.1.3, the strength of the PV industry policies was based on the issued strength and the enforcement strength.
By 2016, more than 20 agencies have become involved in the promulgation of PV industry policies, such as National People’s Congress, the SC, the NDRC, the Ministry of Finance (MOF), the NEA, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Most of the PV industry policy is promulgated by the NEA, followed in order by the NDRC and the MOF.
Since 2005, the government has paid considerable attention to the development of the PV industry. The competent departments of the PV industry (such as the NEA and the NDRC), promulgated a series of policies to promote the development of the photovoltaic industry.
