As a crucial means of generating clean energy, photovoltaic products hold considerable development potential (Zhu et al., 2021), have even been identified by the National Development and Reform Commission''s
The global solar PV product trade plays an important role in facilitating PV product production and utilization and in mitigating climate change. Traded solar cells and modules in 2017 could generate 2325.25 TWh of electricity over their 30-year lifetimes.
The growth of the photovoltaic industry: the overall trend of the PV industry positive development is supported by the declining costs of PV technology, the increasing installed capacity, policy support, technological advancements, and the global shift towards renewable energy.
Meanwhile, on account of the PV industry's uneven resource distribution and inconsistent production capacity across regions, as well as the necessity to cope with turbulences in energy markets, global PV trade activities have also experienced tremendous growth in recent years (Algieri et al. 2011; Guan et al. 2016; Guan and An 2017).
Global solar PV manufacturing capacity has increasingly moved from Europe, Japan and the United States to China over the last decade. China has invested over USD 50 billion in new PV supply capacity – ten times more than Europe − and created more than 300 000 manufacturing jobs across the solar PV value chain since 2011.
Policymakers should consider exchange rate levels, language environments, CO2 emissions and renewable energy consumption when formulating green trade barrier standards to better support the competitiveness and export growth of Chinese photovoltaic products in the international market.
