As the world's largest solar energy market, China's photovoltaic compensation policies have undergone significant transformations since initial implementation in 2002. Current mechanisms combine national guidelines with localized incentives, creating a multi-layered support system that rewards both energy production and technological innovation.
Qingdao's offshore floating PV projects lead national compensation packages with 1,000 RMB/kW subsidies, capped at 100 million RMB per installation. This maritime energy push aligns with Shandong Province's blue economy strategy.
Hangzhou implements performance-based rewards - 0.2 RMB/watt for urban districts versus 0.1 RMB/watt in suburban areas. Ningbo takes a different approach, offering 0.3 RMB/kWh for building-integrated PV systems through 2025.
In Guangdong's Gaozhou district, households can obtain full system installations through power purchase agreements (PPAs) with no upfront costs. The catch? You're essentially leasing your roof space for 15-20 years while sharing energy revenue.
| Project Commissioning | Compensation Rate |
|---|---|
| Pre-2018 Systems | 0.42 RMB/kWh |
| 2018-2022 Installations | 0.37 RMB/kWh |
| 2023-2025 Projects | Competitive Bidding |
