This research investigates the status of renewable energy development along with related policy instruments. This research incorporates policy instruments system to establish Policy instrument-Innovation of firm (P-I) framework, analyzing support of policy instruments effects on solar energy technology innovation capabilities. Test result shows that the policy instruments are drivers of renewable energy technology innovation capacities. Price-based instruments exert more important impacts on innovation activities than other ones. Feed-in tariff instrument is more significant than other ones.
