Zhenghao Solar Power Generation Photovoltaic Panel

What is the role of solar photovoltaic power generation in China?

Among alternative sources, solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation is expected to play an important role in this process in China given abundant solar resources and huge PV manufacturing capacity ( 7 – 10 ).

Does China have centralized photovoltaic power generation?

Zhang HY (2018) Economic research on centralized photovoltaic power generation in China. North China Electric Power University (Beijing), Dissertation (in Chinese) Zhang C, Su B, Zhou KL, Yang SL (2019) Decomposition analysis of China’s CO2 emissions (2000–2016) and scenario analysis of its carbon intensity targets in 2020 and 2030.

Can solar photovoltaic power solve China's climate problems?

Solar photovoltaic power is gaining momentum as a solution to intertwined air pollution and climate challenges in China, driven by declining capital costs and increasing technical efficiencies.

Will large-scale PV deployment contribute to China's net-zero electricity system by 2050?

The contribution of large-scale PV deployment to China's net-zero electricity system by 2050. As China has pledged to become carbon neutral by 2060, electrifying its energy sector is no doubt one of the priority measures to support the transition towards a more sustainable and decarbonized energy system.

Does China have a spatial map of PV power stations?

Although some researchers released several PV power station maps, most only met a medium resolution of 30 meters 9, 10. There thus still lacks a national map of China’s PV power stations with a higher spatial resolution (i.e., 10 meters) that could provide a global understanding of PV’s spatial deployment patterns.

Is solar photovoltaic power possible in China?

Some previous research has evaluated the geographic and technical potential of solar photovoltaic power in China (; ), in which only some basic geographic and climatological factors such as land-use type, slope, and solar radiation are considered.
