Should China develop wind and solar energy simultaneously?

The seasonal patterns show that China should develop wind and solar energy simultaneously, to exploit wind’s highest potential during winter and early spring, and solar’s higher production during late spring and summer.

Why is PV potential declining in China under low emission scenario?

Generally, the Table 5 also suggested that, under low emission scenario, the decline trend in the PV potential over Northeast China due to the reduced solar radiation and increased temperature, while the increase trend in the PV potential over Central China and East China result from the increased solar radiation and increased temperature.

Is the annual-mean PV increasing or decreasing in China?

The annual-mean PV was projected to decrease in six out of the eight subregions of China in the near-future period, except for an increase in south and southwest China (Figure 10a ). The decrease was higher in northern and eastern China (i.e., northwest, northeast, east, and central China).

Will China's PV production increase in 2060?

In contrast to the PV production of 0.26 PWh in 2020, results suggest that China’s technical potential will increase from 99.2 PWh in 2020 to 146.1 PWh in 2060 along with technical advances, and the national average power price could decrease from 4.9 to 0.4 US cents/kWh during the same period.
