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.
Few studies applied regional data in a single country to analyze the influence of support policies on solar PV industry. Moreover, no research studies performed the spatial effect of subsidies on solar PV installation volumes in China. Therefore, we select panel data of 31 provincial units in China from 2011 to 2018.
The subsidy is estimated to cost 1.2 billion euros, and it will be in effect until June 30, 2026. 1. Modification of related standards to promote the installation of photovoltaic systems in buildings
In addition, Italy recently introduced a new subsidy policy, providing 90% of the installed cost subsidy for the newly installed photovoltaic capacity for agricultural purposes, in order to support agricultural, aquaculture, and agro-industrial companies to invest in expanding photovoltaic power generation.
The government uses PV subsidies to encourage distributed PV power generation applications to achieve more PV power generation instead of thermal power generation and promote PV industry development.
The scale of subsidies is in inverse correlation with the distribution of solar energy resources in some regions. Energy is the basis for development of material civilization. Since fossil energy can cause environmental problems, clean energy has become the trend of energy development. Solar energy is a kind of resource-rich and clean energy.
