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 solar power grow in China?

The photovoltaic industry has the opportunity to develop rapidly in China, and its solar power capacity already accounted for 35% of the world’s total in 2020. However, solar power generation had only reached 3.4% of total power generation and 10.7% of renewable energy power generation by 2020 (China Electricity Council 2021).

Where does PV power come from in China?

However, most of the PV potential in China is distributed in sparsely populated regions such as northwest and Tibet of China, and more than 95% of PV power generation in these areas is centralized PV power generation .

Is solar energy a first step towards developing solar energy?

Through a detailed and systematic literature survey, the present review study summarizes the world solar energy status, including concentrating solar power and solar PV power, along with published solar energy potential assessment articles for 235 countries and territories as the first step toward developing solar energy in these regions.

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.

What is the potential of solar power generation in China?

Chen et al. developed a comprehensive solar resource assessment system based on the GIS + MCDM method in 2019. This system was applied to the assessment of the potential of PV power generation in the countries under the “Belt and Road” initiative. The results showed that the PV potential of China is 100.8 PWh.
