Solar Panel F Fenghao Photovoltaic Power Generation

Why is it important to assess photovoltaic power generation potential in China?

Clear spatial dislocations between PV power generation potential and population distribution and electricity demand. Accurate assessment of the photovoltaic (PV) power generation potential in China is important for the reduction of carbon emission intensity and the achievement of the goal of Carbon Neutral.

Will China develop solar photovoltaic power generation vigorously?

According to the national development strategy, China will develop solar photovoltaic power generation vigorously. Large-scale development of solar photovoltaic requires a lot of financial support, thus, how to achieve development goals with minimum cost is a meaningful study and can provide practical significance for policy studies.

What is the optimal development path for China's solar PV power?

Fig. 4 shows the optimal development path for China's solar PV power under the base case. The solar PV power development target for 2050 will be achieved in 2048, two years ahead of the schedule. The development trend will be maintained before 2040, but the a big vibration of the installed capacity appears after 2041.

Does central government influence solar PV development in China?

So far, many studies have been conducted on solar PV developments in China, yet the majority of these focused on the top-down dimension, which is central government policy guidance, whereas the bottom-up dimension in the policy-making process, that is, the influence of PV enterprises and local governments on the central government, is overlooked.

Will photovoltaic & energy storage become industrialized in China?

According to the reports , “Photovoltaic + Energy Storage” has become a global development trend and is one of the hottest development paths for the industry in the future. However, the energy storage industry in China has not yet formed industrialization.

Does technological progress influence the development and cost changes of solar PV?

This study has considered the role of technological progress in studying the development and cost changes of solar PV power, and it also takes into account the restraints of potential affecting factors such as the resource potential, GDP growth, emission regulation schemes, and grid absorptive capacity.
