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.

How can Chinese electricity system optimization be used for solar PV deployment?

Therefore, we employ the widely used Chinese electricity system optimization model based on the one-node-per-province network of Liu et al. (2019) (46) to project the differentiated power mixes, energy storage demands and interprovincial electricity transmission capacity under different solar PV deployment scenarios.

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.

Why are PV installations growing so fast in China?

(3) The rapid growth of PV installations in China, from 1 Gigawatts (GW) in 2010 to 306 GW in 2021, is attributed to significant policy and financial support (e.g., direct fiscal subsidies, preferential loan interest rates, and tax incentives (4−6)) from the central government.

How much solar power will China have in 2030?

According to the IEA (2020), China’s total national PV installed capacity will reach 1,106 GW in 2030 under the Sustainable Development Scenario (SDS). (8) Following the downscaling method, we estimate city-level PV capacity in 2030.
