Finally, when achieving the Nash equilibrium of the game [42, 43], neither side has the motivation to change its strategy. The strategic ...
The cost of solar power has plummeted in recent years, and in many places, it is even cheaper than coal or other fossil fuels. Thanks to generous tax credits and subsidies, solar installations are ...
Moreover, subsidies for household PV systems in China often include various policy support programs, such as capital investment subsidies provided at the time of installation, and production subsidies, including PV generation subsidies and feed-in tariffs, which are paid to consumers for generating solar electricity in the future (Murray et …
1. Introduction 1.1. Background. With the intensification of energy shortage and environmental pollution, renewable energy has attracted worldwide attention [1 – 4].The solar photovoltaic (PV) power is abundant, clean, and convenient and also has been considered as one of the most promising renewable energies [5, 6].Due to the ever …
Solar photovoltaic (PV) plays an increasingly important role in many counties to replace fossil fuel energy with renewable energy (RE). By the end of 2019, the world''s cumulative PV installation capacity reached 627 GW, accounting for 2.8% of the global gross electricity generation [1] ina, as the world''s largest PV market, installed …
Section snippets Environmental impacts of PV power generation. PV power is considered a clean and renewable energy. Its production process, however, is not free of environmental pollution, and its life-cycle energy consumption and direct and indirect pollutant emissions should not be ignored (Fu et al., 2015; Wang and Wei, 2017).
Hancevic et al. (2017) quantified the potential effects that the massive adoption of distributed photovoltaic generation systems would have on household expenditures and welfare, subsidy ...
In the past decade, subsidy policies aimed at demand-side of photovoltaic (PV) supply chains have created a dilemma. While they foster the growth of …
Photovoltaic solar power is the quintessential distributed generation technology. The power produced by a photovoltaic array scales linearly with the area of the system, so as long as the array produces enough revenue to compensate for the non-generating sunk cost of the system (the inverter, etc.), a photovoltaic array is a sensible …
Large-scale photovoltaic solar farms in the Sahara affect ...
The effect of China''s feed-in tariff (FIT) on installed PV capacity is estimated.. China''s zonal FIT offers a quasi-natural experiment to analyze its policy effect. • Subsidies have a much higher effect on installed PV capacity than was believed.. Without the FIT policy, China''s PV deployment could virtually disappear.
We reveal that all of these cities can achieve—without subsidies—solar PV electricity prices lower than grid-supplied prices, and around 22% of the cities'' solar generation electricity ...
Most of the indicators were higher than 0.05, which indicated that the governmental subsidies have unobvious effects on profits of PV companies (W). ...

in order to obtain more subsidies, which exacerbated overca-pacity in China''s PV industry [22–24]. In the downstream PV industry, the distortive effects of the subsidies are more obvi-ous and serious. To obtain more subsidies, PV power plants have expanded at an accelerated rate [25]. However, due to the
Plant-side (or generation-side) grid parity requires that the cost of PV power generation be lower than or the same as the cost of traditional electricity generation (coal-fired electricity is the ...
With the impending post-subsidy era, the Chinese government has initiated significant reductions in household photovoltaic (PV) subsidies. This policy change may …
1. Introduction. Energy plays a fundamental role in social and economic life and sustainable development achievement in the modern age. Whenever energy is promptly and sufficiently available, social and economic developments are consequently feasible [1].Energy is also the main essential component for mitigating poverty, improving human …
In the downstream PV industry, the distortive effects of the subsidies are more obvious and serious. To obtain more subsidies, PV power plants have expanded …
The analysis shows that in some situations support policies can be inconvenient for the owner of the PV-based generation system and that, in many cases, the differences between the implementation ...
Section snippets Theoretical framework. Energy households'' consumption may be analysed by considering two important aspects: on the one hand, the cost-benefit analysis according to which costs and incentives shape households'' decisions and, on the other hand, behavioural and psychological facets that obviously influence individual …
Global energy demand and environmental concerns are the driving force for use of alternative, sustainable, and clean energy sources. Solar energy is the inexhaustible and CO 2-emission-free energy source worldwide.The Sun provides 1.4×10 5 TW power as received on the surface of the Earth and about 3.6×10 4 TW of this power is usable. In …
Government subsidies (GSs) have triggered a remarkable increase in the production capacity of photovoltaic (PV) electricity in China. However, the lack of core …
The abrupt phasing out of subsidies for PV generation has resulted in a rush to construct numerous PV generation projects, leading to an explosive growth in the …
