What is the capacity potential for large-scale solar PV in China?

4. Discussion This work reports that the total capacity potential for large-scale PV in China is 108.22 TW with 150.73 PWh annual solar PV generation (implying an average capacity factor of 15.9), which can bring 150.28 billion tones of CO 2 emission mitigation caused by coal-fired power generation.

Can photovoltaic electricity be compared to grid prices in China?

Although solar photovoltaic use grows rapidly in China, comparison with grid prices is difficult as photovoltaic electricity prices depend on local factors. Using prefecture-level data, Yan et al. find that 100% of user-side systems can achieve grid parity, while 22% can produce electricity cheaper than coal-based power plants.

Where is photovoltaic power installed in China?

In addition, the total installed photovoltaic capacities in Southwest and South China are relatively low, while the competitive patterns of photovoltaic power installation in Northeast China, including Heilongjiang and Liaoning provinces are becoming increasingly obvious.

Where are PV power stations located in China?

It should also be noted that with the rapid development of China’s PV industry, increasingly more eastern provinces built large-scale PV power stations, including Jiangsu, Anhui and Shandong Province. Areas of PV power stations for each province of China.

Can photovoltaic power stations promote China's low-carbon transition?

To promote China's low-carbon transition, the construction of photovoltaic power stations is practical in various provinces of China. Since the photovoltaic power stations can maintain 25 years, the cumulative emission reduction potentials can be quantified to measure the contribution to low-carbon transition.

Is China a major market for solar photovoltaics?

Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative In recent years, China has become not just a large producer but a major market for solar photovoltaics (PV), increasing interest in solar electricity prices in China.
