Navigating the Shifting Sands of Chinese PV Policy
Recent policy developments, specifically the "430" and "531" policies, are poised to reshape the landscape and warrant close attention from South African stakeholders reliant on solar imports.

China''s photovoltaic (PV) industry, a global leader in renewable energy, faces a pivotal year in 2025 with the implementation of two critical policy deadlines: the "430" (April 30) and "531" (May 31) nodes under the
The 531 policy, known as China''s most stringent decreasing subsidies for PV power generation (Dong et al., 2021), signaled that the reduction of PV subsidies would considerably accelerate.
"430" and "531" are the dates set out in the two policy documents issued in mid-January and mid-February this year, respectively. The industry generally believes that the revenue of photovoltaic power
This paper examines the “531 New Policy” in the PV industry, analyzing the impact of the phasing out subsidy on the financial performance of PV enterprises using the PSM and DID model.
The policy deadline of Document No. 136 has arrived. Although some companies temporarily "recovered" by raising product prices and rushing to install projects at the end of 2023, the photovoltaic industry will still
Photovoltaic power plants are usually regarded as a high-quality asset, because they lock in the feed-in tariff or power purchase agreement and have been included in the national subsidy catalog, so they almost have the
The “531” policy will have a broader impact on renewable energy projects. Any project that does not connect to the grid by May 31 will be subject to market pricing for electricity.
It is expected that with the approach of policy milestones such as ''430'' and ''531'', a temporary rush in installations will likely result in a significant increase in the growth rate of photovoltaic installations in April
Due to the accelerated implementation of large-scale wind and solar power projects during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period and the rapid penetration of distributed PV in eastern load centers, domestic
