China s Solar Photovoltaic Entrepreneurs
6 Frequently Asked Questions about “China s Solar Photovoltaic Entrepreneurs”
Will China become a center of solar PV production?
The last decade has seen the rise of China as the new center of solar photovoltaic power manufacture, and the next will likely see it become a center of its deployment. The chapter explores the conditions that have enabled China's rapid expansion into solar PV manufacture, and its broad impact on global competition.
Why did China promote the solar PV industry?
The solar PV industry (as well as wind power) was supported and promoted with the explicit aim to create a leader in the global renewable energy market and to export equipment made in China to the promising solar markets in Europe and in USA. China's government wanted to take its export-oriented, “factory of the world” economy to the next level.
How did private solar photovoltaic firms establish legitimacy in China?
Our multiple case study design enabled us to explicate specific actions that entrepreneurs founding China's private solar photovoltaic (PV) firms took as they built organizational capabilities and established their legitimacy vis-à-vis resource holders and global markets.
What is a private Chinese solar PV firm?
Until 2002, the “private Chinese solar PV firm” as an organizational form did not exist. Within five years, however, this form would displace the incumbent form – represented by multinationals from Japan, Germany and the USA – to become the major source of solar PV cells globally (Zhao et al., 2008, Algieri et al., 2011, Rigter and Vidican, 2010).
Is China a leader in solar energy technology?
Over the past 20 years China has emerged as the world leader in solar energy technology. At the end of 2019, China's total installed capacity of solar PV power made up 204 GW of energy.
Why did Suntech choose a Chinese private solar PV firm?
Moreover, the legitimacy of the Chinese private solar PV firm as a viable organizational form that Suntech in particular had established reduced the liability of newness for this new group of entrants. Suntech had proven that a Chinese firm could produce at international standards and sell into international markets.
