The Research On The International Competitiveness Of Solar Energy Photovoltaic Industry In China

With the increasing pressure from energy and environmental problems, the world has paid more attention to the development of new energy sources in recent years, which brings the booming growth of photovoltaic (PV) products trade together with the whole industry. However, since PV enterprises in China highly rely on overseas market demands, the rapid pace of PV market has been held back by international financial crisis and European debt crisis, while the anti-dumping investigation launched by America and EU has made the situation even worse. Now is the crucial moment for integration of PV industry in China.This paper made an investigation on the problems and dilemma of current situation for PV industry in China. Based on Industrial competitiveness theory and Michael Porter diamond Model, this paper made an analysis both qualitatively and quantitatively from various perspectives, as industry chain, market, trading and impact of policy environment in ways of descriptive analysis, case study and policy comparison, etc. A series of restrictions on Chinese PV market have been identified.Furthermore, by means of Co-integration test, Granger causality tests and ECM model, this paper analyses the relevant figures of Chinese PV industry from year2000to2011to find out the factors that have impact on the international competitiveness of Chinese PV industry. The result indicates that the overall strength of high-tech and manufacturing industry, the investment of human resources, fixed assets and R&D has impact in both short and long run. In the end, this paper gives reasonable and workable international strategy for further development of solar energy photovoltaic industry in China.
