Analysis the new pattern of solar PV industry development in China and the enlightenment from Germany

In China over the recent years, solar energy and other renewable energy sources have been expected to become not only promising tools against climate change but also a key economic growth driver. Particularly, growth of Chinese photovoltaic cell makers has attracted global attention. However, recently the United States and the European Commission have approved a phased introduction of punitive anti-dumping tariffs on Chinese PV imports to Europe. It is a huge challenge for China´ PV industry development. Germany´ PV development experience can give some enlightens to china´ PV market development. After the analysis we find that firstly we must adopt the policy incentive to develop the PV domestic market; at the same time, it also needs to use the market-based approach to eliminate of the backward production capacity; and the most important is to encourage the development of forefront PV technology.
