Despite basically mature PV technologies and in-place policy and management systems, the financing mechanism fails to adapt to diversified PV applications and emerges as a prominent issue. PV power generation in 2013 necessitates a minimum investment of RMB 100 billion. It should attract great attention of all kinds of investors and financial institutions; however, the financing difficulty is the biggest obstacle because China’s financial system still mainly serves the traditional model for energy production and lacks the appropriate financial mechanism for scalable distributed PV projects.
