The impact of PV industry policies on corporate ESG
This study comprehensively quantifies 2,194 national-level PV industry policies and examines their impact on 535 listed PV compa-nies from 2014 to 2023, using the PMC index model
In addition, few of the energy storage systems in PV power generation plants have connected to the grid, making it difficult to obtain benefits, Wang said.
While existing literature has investigated individual environmental or energy policies, few studies have systematically examined the aggregate impact of PV policy intensity on firms' ESG performance, especially in the Chinese context.
Fig. 1 PV industry policy is an important tool to promote the restructuring of the energy sector and achieve sustainable development goals (Li et al., 2023). Through subsidies, tax incentives, and low-interest financing, these policies encourage enterprises to improve their ESG performance across environmental, social, and governance dimensions.
Rational allocation of energy storage capacity and optimization of corresponding subsidy policies are crucial prerequisites for enhancing the economic viability and widespread adoption of photovoltaic energy storage integration projects.
