The increasing concerns in China's air pollution crisis and the energy structure adjustment has heightened the need for renewable energy. Meanwhile, Residential Grid-connected PV Power System(RGCPVS) as a popular application of PV power is just launched in China, which faces great opportunities and challenges. Thus, this study discussed this issue from five sections. Firstly, we built a SWOT matrix for the factors we assumed to be the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats to the development of RGCPVS in China. Next, we collected data from a survey towards Japanese and Chinese experts, and confirmed that the most significant S, W, O and T factors are ‘Economic benefit’, ‘Economic barriers’, ‘Government is getting values’ and ‘Lack of funds’, respectively. Then, through statistical analysis, we verified Japanese and Chinese experts share analogous views on 14 factors, while one of their most significant divergence is the evaluation for ‘Government is getting values’, we explained the reasons and built a policy intervention and green product lifecycle model to clarify it. Next, we revealed that experts with different backgrounds take a similar point of view for the vast majority of SWOT factors by using ANOVA method. Finally, our recommendations were presented.
