This study examines the impact of both internal and external forces on China’s solar PV export during 2007–2016. The results show that the spatial pattern of PV exports is quite different before and after 2011, with export increasingly concentrated in the Yangtze River Delta.
The statistical analysis finds that, despite the crucial role of industrial relatedness, the export of PV products has deviated from historical trajectory of regional product structure with the impact of external forces.
Moreover, China’s PV manufacturing is an export-oriented industry since the export market consumes about 95% of China’s total PV production before 2012 and 68% during 2012–2016 (Letcher and Fthenakis, 2018). How China has achieved such a remarkable growth in PV production and export deserves further exploration.
Solar photovoltaic (PV), typical renewable energy, has the largest potential to provide a considerable amount of energy from abundant sunshine resources. Thus, many countries have established supportive policies to flourish PV industry. The past 20 years have witnessed the dramatic growth of China’s PV production.
How China has achieved such a remarkable growth in PV production and export deserves further exploration. The development of China’s PV manufacturing can be divided into three stages, namely 2000–2006, 2007–2011, and after 2011. The initial stage is characterized by the establishment of spearheading firms to meet the booming market.
During the same time, the scale of China’s PV products exported to Africa, South America, Japan, and India has increased considerably. Fig. 3. The dynamic of Chinese PV export to the US, EU and other countries. Fig. 3 shows that the export from China to the EU reached the summit in 2010, while after 2011, the figure plummeted.
The global residential solar storage and inverter market is experiencing rapid expansion, with demand increasing by over 300% in the past three years. Home energy storage solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new residential solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 38% market share, driven by homeowner energy independence goals and federal tax credits that reduce total system costs by 26-30%. Europe follows with 32% market share, where standardized home storage designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting residential storage for backup power and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 4-7 years. Modern home installations now feature integrated systems with 10-30kWh capacity at costs below $700/kWh for complete residential energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving home solar storage and inverter performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 40% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $1,200/kW to $650/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow home systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing homeowner savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for solar storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $600/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with residential projects typically achieving payback in 5-8 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard home systems (5-10kWh) starting at $8,000 and premium systems (15-20kWh) from $12,000, with financing options available for homeowners.
