What are the policy hotspots of PV technology?

Policy hotspots included PV products, PV generation systems, PV modules, product quality, and technological innovation, reflecting the requirements for high-quality development in the PV industry. Technological progress involved raising the conversion efficiency and market access threshold of polysilicon and monocrystalline silicon battery modules.

Will large-scale solar PV installations erode public support?

The rapid growth in the deployment of large-scale solar PV installations might erode public support for the sector overall due to concerns about their impact on the landscape and communities. An example is the 5 MWp Westmill solar farm on the Oxfordshire-Wiltshire border which was completed in July 2011.

Should financial support schemes be amended for solar PV installations?

Proposals to amend financial support schemes for solar PV installations would be considered in the broader context of the financial incentives available and the Levy Control Framework. Any amendments would also need to be consistent with the EU’s State Aid rules. (42)

Can the Green Investment Bank support solar PV?

DECC will work with the Green Investment Bank (GIB) to explore the scope to support solar PV as part of commercial energy efficiency projects in the UK using GIB funding. With significant increases in solar PV deployment, it is necessary to manage its integration into the electricity system and market.

How to support distributed solar photovoltaics (dspv) enterprises?

Secondly, fiscal and tax policies were introduced to support PV enterprises. For DSPV, the China Development Bank and the National Energy Administration jointly published the Opinions on Supporting Financial Services for Distributed Solar Photovoltaics, providing credit support for distributed solar PV projects.

What policies are being introduced in the solar energy industry?

A set of supportive policies have been introduced including the Feed-in Tariff Scheme, Photovoltaic Poverty Alleviation Project, and other demonstration projects. Later regulation, de-subsidization, and solar power consumption became the hot spot.
