A PV power station with a designed installed capacity of 50 megawatts at Jiangji reservoir in Hefei was successfully connected to the grid on Nov. 30. (Photo:Xinhua)

What is the potential PV power generation in China?

The potential PV power generation in China is estimated to be 1.38874 × 1014 kWh. China's eight developed coastal provinces account for 1% of generation potential. Associated CO 2 reduction could meet China’s emission reduction commitment. Maximum PV scenario needs inter-regional transmission capacity reach 300 GW.

What is the potential of solar power generation in China?

Chen et al. developed a comprehensive solar resource assessment system based on the GIS + MCDM method in 2019. This system was applied to the assessment of the potential of PV power generation in the countries under the “Belt and Road” initiative. The results showed that the PV potential of China is 100.8 PWh.

Does China have a potential for solar PV power station installation & generation?

The results of this study indicated that China, as one of the fast-growing countries in the global south, shows outstanding potential for solar PV power station installation and generation potential.

Where is PV power generation mainly concentrated in Xinjiang & Inner Mongolia?

In terms of provinces, PV potential is mainly concentrated in Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Qinghai, and other provinces west of the Hu Huanyong Line (Population Distribution Line). The PV power generation potential of the provinces east of this line basically does not exceed 3 PWh, and most of them do not exceed 1 PWh.

What is the average LCOE of PV power generation in China?

According to statistics, the average LCOE of the ground PV stations in China is about 0.39 yuan/kWh by 2019, and it is expected that the LCOE of the PV power generation in China will be basically consistent with the average cost of coal-fired power generation by 2021 . In this case, the PV subsidies may be canceled.
