Interpretation of the development of photovoltaic industry in Germany and Japan (3)

The power of model

As a result of the public investment strategy, Germany's photovoltaic industry is booming. The installation and manufacture of solar photovoltaic modules in Germany has always been a world leader. German companies have occupied 46% of the global market and created more than 10,000 jobs for Germany. Among them, the buy-back subsidy has always been the core of the success of the German photovoltaic industry, and will continue to be the driving force behind the promotion of German energy devices.

On the other hand, Japan has successfully implemented a set of solar power and other power generation methods to compete, and stopped funding for solar energy. Today, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan is still playing an important role in the research and development of the next generation of photovoltaic technology. Japan's photovoltaic industry is still growing. The government seems to be on the right track, moving toward the goal of equipping 30% of Japan's rooftops with solar energy equipment, and it is weakening direct subsidies every year.

After the baptism of the international financial crisis, Germany has clearly realized the crux of the development of its photovoltaic industry and made timely adjustments. This is exactly where China needs to learn. In the development of any industry, it is important to strike a balance in all aspects so that it can be developed in a healthy manner and will not be subject to human control.
