China's solar industry is experiencing a slowdown in domestic installation growth due to the end of feed-in-tariffs, overcapacity, and a shift to market-based electricity pricing, while exports adjust following the removal of VAT export rebates.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.
