The solar photovoltaics (PV) business wouldn't exist without government policies. Governments around the world have implemented policies to support consumption of production and solar energy of solar PV products. These policies have changed across countries and across time, thereby contributing to regulatory uncertainty.
Second, how might businesses' answers to this public-policy environment affect technological development as well as the locus of production? Government policies on solar PV, and companies' strategies to beat regulatory uncertainty, may have unplanned results. Firms' decisions on technology and location development may lead to loss of employment and national competitiveness for developed nations; and companies' market strategies may increase regulatory uncertainty whenever they do not involve non-market stakeholders.
