Abstract :
China is rapidly emerging as an important player in the global photovoltaics market. By adopting a technology innovation systems framework of analysis, the paper identifies the technological and institutional actors and relations of the innovation systems for solar photovoltaics in China, and assesses the extent to which these are likely to encourage or constrain the technological development and the market diffusion of this technology. Policy lessens can be derived for the management of innovation in the energy sector and helps understanding of how such innovation could contribute to economic development.
