Can China develop large-scale solar power?

The power generation at maximum installed capacity would be 1.38874 × 10 14 kWh, or 21.4 times the total national electricity production of China in 2016. These results show that there is significant scope for the further development of large-scale PV in China.

Can a GIS model accurately estimate large-scale PV power generation potential in China?

To address this deficiency, this study builds a GIS-based model with 600 land conversion factors incorporated to accurately estimate the large-scale PV power generation potential in China.

Can air quality improve solar generation in China?

Li et al. 9 found that atmospheric aerosols in the North China Plain reduce annual average surface solar resource by 25–35%, that is, a loss of up to 1.5 kWh m −2 d −1 in generation 9. Recent studies indicate that air quality improvements in China may generate an increase of up to US$10 billion in solar generation revenue annually by 2040 10, 11.

Does China have a potential for large-scale PV installations?

The results show that there is great potential for further development of large-scale PV in China. 39.43% of China’s land is suitable for large-scale PV installations, with the greatest proportions of such land found in Xinjiang (32.39%), Tibet (22.28%), Inner Mongolia (17.81%), Qinghai (9.20%) and Gansu (5.72%).

Is a freestanding hybrid film suitable for solar power generation?

Solar energy fits well with the increasing demand for clean sustainable energy. This paper describes a freestanding hybrid film composed of a conductive metal–organic framework layered on cellulose nanofibres which enables efficient solar power generation.

What if we replace fossil fuel-based power generation with large-scale PV?

If we manage to totally replace fossil fuel-based power generation with large-scale PV power generation by 2030 (scenario 2), CO 2 emissions in 2030 will be reduced to 12,541 Mt, corresponding to a reduction of national carbon intensity to 1.19 t/10 4 Yuan, which would be a reduction of 63% as compared to 2005.
