China Solar Technology Power Generation Standards

What is the potential of solar PV in China?

The researchers first found that the physical potential of solar PV, which includes how many solar panels can be installed and how much solar energy they can generate, in China reached 99.2 petawatt-hours in 2020.

How many GW of solar power does China have?

In 2011, the total PV installed capacity in the world increased to 68GW, and exceeded 100 GW in 2012 , . China’s domestic market started to increase obviously under the promotion of China’s PV power generation demonstration projects, in 2009 although this lagged behind the international phase, as shown in Table 1.1. Table 1.1.

What is China's PV solar policy?

China is a quick policy learner that can follow the international policy experience and import them to China. However, Chinese PV solar policy is lack of strategic policy research. For example, the policies that had been launched were mostly made without the guidance of national energy portfolio strategy.

When did China start focusing on solar PV?

Until August 2000, the country cautiously paid a little attention to Solar PV, and formulated the 2000–2015 Key Points of Development Planning of New Energy and Renewable Energy Industry, proposing the construction of solar cell and application system production lines to increase the annual production to more than two megawatts.

Does China's solar policy influence the development of the solar industry?

However, based on the limited studies on China’s solar PV policies, the literature only lists China’s existing PV solar policies , , which cannot explain the dynamic trajectory of Chinese solar policy and its relation to the development of the industry.

How much solar power will China have by 2060?

Furthermore, the International Energy Agency (IEA) released a roadmap in 2021, forecasting that solar and wind power will contribute approximately 80 % of China's total electricity supply by 2060, with an installed PV capacity exceeding 4 TW, surpassing wind power capacity .
