growth and success in the solar photovoltaic power generation market. As the world's largest energy consumer, China's commitment to renewable energy and its pursuit of a more sustainable energy future have positioned it as a global leader in solar photovoltaic power generation, playing a crucial role in the f
At the end of 2015, the PV installed capacity of China was approximately 43.54 GW, and the contribution of PV power generation to total power generation was ≤0.7 % . Five years later (end of 2020), the PV installed capacity of China exceeded 253.83 GW . However, PV power generation does not result in zero carbon emissions.
4. Discussion This work reports that the total capacity potential for large-scale PV in China is 108.22 TW with 150.73 PWh annual solar PV generation (implying an average capacity factor of 15.9), which can bring 150.28 billion tones of CO 2 emission mitigation caused by coal-fired power generation.
Solar energy installation on a wide scale, both globally and in China, has resulted in an increase in PV power conversion efficiency and a decrease in generation prices. Between 2011 and 2018, China’s capital costs for utility-scale solar PV per kW decreased by 63.3 percent, accompanied by several subsidy reductions .
jor player in the global solar photovoltaic power generation industry. By capitalizing on its vast solar potential, China can play a pivotal role in the global transition towards a low-carbon economy and contribute significantly to the
In the majority of the areas of China, solar energy is available in abundance, and people can collect solar energy directly and produce electricity and heat by solar energy. The second advantage is in the reduction of monthly electricity bills; solar energy is considered a one-time investment.
