The development of China's photovoltaic industry has also undergone long-term technological accumulation, and it is inseparable from the policy support of the state for more than a decade. According to incomplete statistics, since 2000, the Chinese government has introduced more than 100 policies to support the photovoltaic industry. In the 1990s, China's solar panel manufacturing industry began to rise, and in 1996, the Chinese government launched the Bright Project. In 2005, the Chinese government encouraged the export of photovoltaic components, and just five years later, 95% of China's total solar photovoltaic panel production was exported to Europe and the United States. Since then, due to the anti-dumping sanctions of European and American countries, the export of photovoltaic modules has dropped significantly. In July 2013, The State Council issued several Opinions on Promoting the Healthy Development of the photovoltaic Industry. In September 2014, the National Energy Administration issued the Notice on the Further Implementation of Policies related to Distributed photovoltaic power generation. In 2015, the National Energy Administration launched the "leader" photovoltaic support special plan. In January 2019, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration issued the Notice on Actively Promoting Subsidy-Free Parity Internet Access for Wind Power and photovoltaic Power Generation, and began to promote subsidy-free photovoltaic projects nationwide. It is the policies of this column that have enabled this industry to achieve a transformation from a rapid start and a blowout of industrial upgrading to an absolute leading position in the world. Since the completion of China's first photovoltaic power station in 2013, it has become the world's largest photovoltaic power generation country in just 7 years, and has formed an advantage in competition with the whole industrial chain of developed countries. By 2020, Chinese companies will occupy 16 of the top 20 global photovoltaic companies.
