Photovoltaic industry to get further policy boost
Wang Bohua, honorary chairman of the CPIA, said that in recent years, the configuration of energy storage facilities in a certain proportion to solar power plants based on their capacities, as a measure to avoid waste of solar power and support stable operation of power grids, has become a prerequisite for the construction of PV power generation plants.
How policy has shaped the emerging solar photovoltaic
Hundreds of state and local policies support the deployment of residential-scale solar photovoltaic systems in the United States. Policy differences across jurisdictions may explain differences in local photovoltaic industries, such as the number of competing installers, the distribution of market shares among those installers, and the market shares of large national
A review of solar photovoltaic incentives and Policy: Selected
The most effective policy adopted in this country for PV systems is the FIT policy. Canada has used this policy very effectively, especially in rooftop systems. In 2009, the FIT program started with a high incentive rate for small-scale solar systems. Here, the tariff was applied as 80.2 ¢/kWh and a catalyst effect was made on the projects.

Solar panels: costs, savings and benefits explained
When the sun shines on a solar panel, solar energy is absorbed by individual PV cells. These cells are made from layers of semi-conducting material, most commonly silicon. The PV cells produce an electrical charge as they become energised by the sunlight.
