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.

How has China's solar PV industry developed in the last decade?

In the last decade, the solar photovoltaic (PV) industry in China has developed rapidly, with the joint promotion of the market and policies. China’s PV modules’ production is ranked top in the world, making a significant impact on the world’s renewable energy development and solar PV industrial sector.

What is the PV power generation potential of China?

The PV power generation potential of China was estimated using ERA5-Land hourly data with a spatial resolution of 0.1° × 0.1° (about 10 km × 10 km), and a temporal resolution of 1 h. The quality of the data of ERA5 has also been improved compared to the previous data .

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.

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.

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.
