What is the capacity potential for large-scale solar PV in China?

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.

What is China's PV power generation capacity?

The newly installed capacity of PV is increasing every year, from 0.02 GW in 2007 to 53.06 GW in 2017. By the end of 2017, China’s PV installed capacity had reached 130.25 GW, accounting for 1.49% of the total power generation. Centralized PV facilities are the primary form of China’s PV power generation application system.

What is the PV generation potential in China?

The PV generation potential in China was found to be generally high in the western region accounting for 86% and low in the eastern region accounting for 0.01%. In Xinjiang, Qinghai, Tibet, and Inner Mongolia, the generation potential still occupies an important position in 2020 and 2030 while Fujian, Hebei, and Shandong show little PV potential.

Will China produce PV power in 2030?

However, China’s overall PV power generation and consumption in the future is considerable. According to the prediction of the electricity consumption of China in 2030 , the potential for PV power generation in the 12 provinces would be 39.8 times that of the national society in 2020 and 30.8 times in 2030.

What are the limitations of centralized PV power generation?

Centralized PV power generation dominates the PV application market, and research regarding centralized PV development is of great significance. However, there are many limitations that hinder the development of centralized PV. The availability of land resources is a factor that affects PV power development [4, 5].

Does China's PV industry need subsidies?

Although China's PV industry has experienced a rapid expansion in recent years, the feasibility of PV systems must be supported by subsidies or other policies. The industry development is still in the nascent stage. As shown in Fig. 12, the future cost of PV power generation shows a similar declining trend.
