How is China's Wind sector different from solar PV?

The structure of China’s wind sector also has other differences. Unlike solar PV, in which Chinese manufacturers have gained such significant global market share, China’s wind sector is almost entirely domestically focused with very low export volumes. Almost all of the sales of Goldwind— the country’s largest wind turbine maker—are in China.

What is China's Wind and solar capacity?

State Grid’s exact prediction was that China’s wind and solar cumulative installed capacity would be around 1100GW.] While the tier-1 and 2 players already eye on adding 400-500GW capacities, there are many other power generation companies in China shown growing interest in acquiring renewable power assets. These players include:

How to promote wind and solar power development?

Fiscal and financial incentives are among the most popular and most effective ways to promote wind and solar power development. A feed-in tariff provides a fixed price for power generated from a renewable energy source over a set time period (often 20 years).
