China has been expected to install the majority of its PV capacity in the second half of this year.

The country has a 14GW cap on support for solar this year with 8GW initially pencilled in for distributed projects and 6GW for utility-scale.

In May, IHS predicted policy changes would be made to ensure the sluggish start to the year was improved upon.

“Assuming [the] new policy will be announced in Q3, IHS predicts China’s PV installations to amount to 13.1GW in 2014, with more than 70% of this happening in the last six months of the year,” the research firm said.

In June, cuts to red tape for distributed solar energy projects were announced.
