Can photovoltaic products boost China's economy?

As a crucial means of generating clean energy, photovoltaic products hold considerable development potential (Zhu et al., 2021), have even been identified by the National Development and Reform Commission’s Energy Research Institute as a crucial tool for stabilizing China’s foreign trade and boosting the economy.

Does trade protectionism affect China's solar PV exports?

Zhu et al. (2021) examined the impact of both internal and external forces on China’s solar PV export during 2007–2016, and found that trade protectionism and some non-tariff barriers inhibit China’s PV exports.

How can Green trade barriers help China's photovoltaic industry?

Policymakers should consider exchange rate levels, language environments, CO2 emissions and renewable energy consumption when formulating green trade barrier standards to better support the competitiveness and export growth of Chinese photovoltaic products in the international market.

Why is international trade important for PV cells?

Through the interaction of spatial patterns of PV cells international trade flow, the associations among regions have been strengthened and the development opportunities of PV industry have been expanded. This will also intensify the level of competition.

Why do countries need photovoltaic products?

In countries with low access percentages, a significant portion of the population lacks a reliable electricity supply. Thus, these nations often seek to expand their energy infrastructure, and photovoltaic products provide a cost-effective renewable solution, which will drive their demands for photovoltaic imports.

Does China have a role in the global deployment of solar photovoltaic technology?
