The China Development Bank provided $20 billion of financing to domestic solar manufacturers in 2010. In 2011, new feed-in tariffs were promised to potential solar power developers to help drive investments and growth in the solar power market. The government of Qinghai province offered solar projects that were operational before 30 September, 1.15 yuan ($0.18) for each kWh they produced in May 2011. The National Development and Reform Commission offered same-priced subsidies to potential solar powe
Shares of Chinese solar panel makers surged after a team of staff sent by Elon Musk had reportedly visited several photovoltaic suppliers in China.
