In the 1980s, China’s PV industry made progress and the cost of solar cell power reduced to 40–45 Yuan/kW h. By the end of 2000, China’s amorphous silicon solar cell power cost was 23–25 Yuan/kW h. In 2008, the cost of solar cells in China was 10–75 Yuan/kW h. In 2010, China’s solar PV cells power cost is down to approximately 1 Yuan/kW h .
Growth of financial subsidy policies supporting solar PV power pricing in China. The NDRC released the “Trial Measures on Renewable Energy Prices and Cost-sharing Management” in January 2006; this regulated the renewable energy prices and implemented the government pricing and government guiding prices.
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.
The cost of solar PV electricity generation is affected by many local factors, making it a challenge to understand whether China has reached the threshold at which a grid-connected solar PV system supplies electricity to the end user at the same price as grid-supplied power or the price of desulfurized coal electricity, or even lower.
The law clearly states that China encourages and supports the development and use of new energy, renewable energy and the biomass in rural areas, and China will widely promote the biomass, solar and wind and other renewable energy technologies. 3.5. The growth route of solar PV pricing policy
Growth route of the incentive policies to the solar PV power projects in China. In February 2006, the NDRC published “The Renewable Energy Power Administration Regulation” to stipulate the requirements for the power generation companies engaged in the solar PV power generation business.
