| Abstract |
Commissioned by the Project Management Office (PMO) of the National Development and Reform Commission/Global Environment Facility/World Bank (NDRC/GEF/WB) China Renewable Energy Development Project (REDP), this paper studies the development of the PV industry in China over the past few years. It is hoped that it will serve as a useful reference for those interested in China’s PV industry and help to promote its further development. This 2006-2007 research report provides both a broad overview and detailed analysis of China’s PV industry. It should assist the entire industry chain, including policy makers, enterprises and investors, to more accurately understand the dynamics of the industry and hence to develop effective strategies, policies and plans for future development of the industry. This 2006 – 2007 report is the second report commissioned by REDP on the Chinese PV industry. In 2005, REDP PMO organized a team of experts to write a Report on the Development of the PV Industry in China (in both Chinese and English) and this was published in August 2006. In that first report, a review was given on the status of, and prospects for, the PV industry and market in China, and policies and plans of action to further promote the industry in China were suggested. That report had a positive impact on the PV industry in China. However, due to the subsequent rapid development, the August 2006 report does not adequately reflect the current status of the PV industry in China. For this reason, in 2007 the REDP PMO commissioned a team of experts to write this updated Report on the Development of the PV Industry in China. Based on collected data and field surveys, this report gives a comprehensive review of the current status of the industry in China, and also makes predictions and policy suggestions for future development. |
