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.

Does solar radiation affect PV power generation in Xinjiang?

Solar radiation is the dominant factor in the potential for PV power generation in each grid. The results show that the theoretical potential of PV power generation increases as we move from northern Xinjiang to southern Xinjiang ( Figure 6 ).

How did China's solar program affect the development of PV industry?

The program used a mixture of small hydro, PV, and wind power. This program significantly affected the development of the PV industry. China built several solar cell packaging lines and the production capacity of solar cell module reached 100 MW promptly .

What are the spatial-temporal characteristics of photovoltaic power installation in China?

According to the photovoltaic power installation distribution, the spatial-temporal characteristics of the photovoltaic power installation in China can be depicted. The photovoltaic power development stages could be classified into Full operation, Partial operation, Announced construction, Permitted construction, and Under construction.

How Xinjiang is promoting the development of PV power generation?

According to the Outline of the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021–2025) for National Economic and Social Development and Vision 2035 of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Xinjiang is promoting the development of PV power generation to reduce carbon emissions from fossil fuel combustion.

Can Xinjiang meet its annual electricity demand?

Therefore, a progress level of 25% in Xinjiang was fully capable of satisfying Xinjiang’s annual electricity demand. In terms of PV power generation, 2.14 × 10 6 GWh of PV power generation is equivalent to 6.48 × 10 8 tce of coal combustion for coal-fired power generation.
