Zhang Photovoltaic Solar Power Generation Project

What are the development prospects for photovoltaic power generation in China?

With the introduction of China's incentive policies, photovoltaic power generation has great development prospects. There are a large number of natural lakes and artificial reservoirs in China, which provide a huge potential installa-tion space for FPV. Technological progress has also further reduced the cost of FPV.

Does Shandong have a rooftop PV power generation project?

However, in recent years, Shandong has actively utilized rooftop resources on sites such as factories and rural residential buildings to promote distributed PV power generation, injecting new momentum into green development. In New Zhangyanzhai Village of Liaocheng, an 11 megawatt rooftop PV power generation project is in operation.

Why is China moving from centralized solar farms to small Solar projects?

In recent years, China has shifted its focus from centralized solar farms to smaller-scale distributed solar projects, as photovoltaic research continues to improve the technology and lower its costs.

How many kilowatts of photovoltaic power will China produce in 2022?

It is estimated that 108 million kilowatts photovoltaic power generation will be added to the grid in 2022, with a year-on-year increase of 95.9 percent. Up till now, China has become a promoter and leader of global photovoltaic industry development, said the NEA.

Is Shandong leading China's rooftop solar-development initiatives?

Shandong is leading China’s rooftop solar-development initiatives, accounting for 18% of such projects across the country. As of March, the province had installed 33 gigawatts (GW) of distributed solar capacity, enough to power an estimated 18 million homes.
