China, the world’s biggest solar market, set a national limit of 14 gigawatts for solar power capacity addition this year to be eligible for subsidies.

Within the limit, the country set quotas for individual provinces based on local resources and the grid’s ability to handle the additional power, according to a statement on the National Energy Administration’s website. Projects exceeding a region’s quota won’t get subsidy.
