China is the world’s leading manufacturer of solar photovoltaic (PV) technologies, and is responsible for 35 to 40 percent of global solar PV production. China’s push into large-scale solar manufacturing has reduced costs for solar markets across the globe. Until recently, China did not have national policies in place to stimulate domestic demand.
Between 60 and 70 percent of the jobs in the solar industry are in the design and installation of solar power systems for homes and businesses. As the cost of solar energy technologies continues to fall, nations with policies that favor solar and other renewable energy sources will see the greatest jobs benefits.
