Industrial Park Photovoltaic Support Subsidy

How do government subsidies affect the PV industry?

However, lucrative government subsidies often lead to PV enterprises not paying attention to technological innovation and blind production. Therefore, to improve the efficiency of government subsidies, enhance the overall performance of the PV supply chain, and achieve the healthy and long-term development of the PV industry.

Do government subsidies affect photovoltaic industry?

We apply spatial econometric model to analyze the performance of government subsidies on photovoltaic industry. The installed capacity of photovoltaics has shown a significant spatial agglomeration situation since 2012. The feed-in tariff and R&D subsidy policies play a positive incentive to the photovoltaic installed capacity.

Does government R&D subsidy promote PV installation?

Furthermore, it is significant to set up incentive mechanism to promote the development of local economy and to achieve the upgrade of PV industry. Second, the government R&D subsidy plays a positive role in promoting PV system installation. Based on the estimation results, R&D subsidy has a significant positive effect on PV installation.

Are subsidies causing overcapacity problems in photovoltaic supply chains?

In the past decade, subsidy policies aimed at demand-side of photovoltaic (PV) supply chains have created a dilemma. While they foster the growth of the PV industry, they also induce overcapacity problems to the society. As a result, many governments have cut back subsidies to PV system users.

Do R&D subsidies affect innovation in PV Enterprises?

With samples of Chinese listed PV enterprises from 2010 to 2019, this study finds R&D subsidies exert a notable positive impact on the innovation in PV enterprises. In small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and enterprises without state-owned shares, both R&D subsidies and non-R&D subsidies have positive impacts on the innovation.

Do subsidies promote innovation in PV technology?

With a global sample, Hoppmann et al. find that aggressive subsidies on the demand side have promoted enterprises’ R&D investments in PV technology exploration. Nicolli and Vona find GSs in 19 EU countries have spurred innovation in PV technology from 1980 to 2007.
