The country's PV manufacturing industry faced an antidumping
and antibribery investigation by the United States and Europe
during 2011 and 2012.
PV Application Systems

Historical Review

As of 2019, large-scale ground power plants constitute more
than 80% of China's installed PV capacity. Under the influence of "eliminating the use of and restricting the feed-in of
PV-generated electricity" and the reduction of feed-in tariffs, the country has accelerated the construction of application-demonstration zones for distributed PV power generation. As a result, investment in the PV industry has gradually
shifted to distributed projects, focusing on roof-based distributed PV power-generation systems in large-scale industrial parks, economic-development zones, public facilities,
and residential buildings.
In 2017, when rapid growth occurred for all types of PV
systems, China's new installed capacity was approximately
53 GW, a 57% increase from 2016, constituting more than
50% of the global total, resulting in the country's distributedPV installed capacity reaching 19 GW. Since then, the cumulative PV installed capacity has reached 130 GW, with the
annual increase and cumulative PV installed capacity ranking first in the world.

Table 1 summarizes the characteristics of the development
phases in an overall expansion of China's PV industry.
Before 2007, the industry was in a demonstration phase in
which the industry was primarily centered on the promotion of demonstration projects; that phase was also known
as the initial exploration period. Between 2007 and 2010,
despite the global financial crisis, the international PV
industry developed rapidly, and China's government supported and launched many PV projects. The national PV
manufacturing industry quickly increased in scale, and by
2007, the country had become the world's largest producer
of solar cells.
The Golden Sun project was the first national implementation of PV subsidies. The country's PV -manufacturing
industry faced an antidumping and antibribery investigation by the United States and Europe during 2011 and 2012,
which caused a serious setback to its progress. From 2013
to May 2018, the PV industry adjusted its marketing direction and contributed significantly to developing its domestic
