As China's photovoltaic solar industry hits increasing obstacles in foreign countries, many solar companies are eyeing the domestic market to survive the crisis.Â
Â
Since the United States started probes into alleged dumping and unfair subsidies in PV solar panels from China late last year, domestic producers have faced a shrinking foreign market.Â
Â
This year, the European Union followed the US move, claiming Chinese companies are selling PV solar cells under cost by receiving illegal government subsidies.Â
Â
Up to 95 percent of the solar panels produced in China are sold overseas and the EU is the biggest buyer.Â
Â
But China's solar industry has made a great contribution to the global solar market by reducing costs and creating millions of jobs in the US and EU.Â
Â
With advantages in overseas markets gone, Chinese companies started to refocus on the domestic market.Â
Â
The Chinese government is also making efforts to boost development of the solar industry.Â
Â
The central government has unveiled series of policies to expand the domestic market, enhance industry mergers and consolidation, and promote innovation.Â
