4 Frequently Asked Questions about "Photovoltaic panel installation subsidy application conditions"

Can I get a subsidy for photovoltaic solar panels?

You can apply for a subsidy for photovoltaic solar panels in these categories: Sun-tracking systems move the solar panels to follow the position of the sun. This can help you produce more energy. These systems cost more to install than standard systems. But they also have more full load hours that count for subsidies.

Do subsidies affect solar PV installation volumes in China?

Few studies applied regional data in a single country to analyze the influence of support policies on solar PV industry. Moreover, no research studies performed the spatial effect of subsidies on solar PV installation volumes in China. Therefore, we select panel data of 31 provincial units in China from 2011 to 2018.

What are the requirements for solar panel subsidy?

Strict compliance with the guidelines of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy is mandatory for solar panel subsidy. Please note: The maximum capacity of a solar panel for availing the subsidy on solar panels is 10kW. Certain states, such as Uttar Pradesh, Kerala, Rajasthan, Gujarat etc, may provide additional financial aid.

Do government subsidies affect photovoltaic industry?

We apply spatial econometric model to analyze the performance of government subsidies on photovoltaic industry. The installed capacity of photovoltaics has shown a significant spatial agglomeration situation since 2012. The feed-in tariff and R&D subsidy policies play a positive incentive to the photovoltaic installed capacity.
