『Abstract
In 2009, the photovoltaic (PV) industry expanded greatly in China.
Developing PV technology is both necessary and urgent, as China
is a large country, which consumes huge amounts of energy. In
addition, because China has a natural advantage of excellent solar
resources, its government has provided significant support in
this field. In order to motivate the PV industry, the Ministries
of Finance and Construction established coordinated policies to
offer financial inducements. The government will implement the
Jintaiyang project on the near future: 15 billion US dollars will
be invested and 294 demonstration projects will be built. The
developing Chinese PV market holds great promise. The aim of this
paper is to analyze the present status of the Chinese PV market,
discuss the opportunities available, and the potential challenges
anticipated in the developing process including some engineering
roadblocks encountered in the PV system, and to outline possible
future scenarios in this field.
