Qinling Solar Photovoltaic Power Generation

Will China develop solar photovoltaic power generation vigorously?

According to the national development strategy, China will develop solar photovoltaic power generation vigorously. Large-scale development of solar photovoltaic requires a lot of financial support, thus, how to achieve development goals with minimum cost is a meaningful study and can provide practical significance for policy studies.

How is solar energy used for power generation in China?

Solar energy is used for power generation in two main ways: photovoltaic (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP) (Desideri and Campana, 2014). At present, PV technology in China has become mature after decades of development.

How did the financial crisis affect China's photovoltaic industry?

The 2007–2008 financial crisis hampered the exports of China's photovoltaic industry. To boost the development of this industry, a series of policy measures were introduced in 2009 to promote the application of photovoltaic power generation in the Chinese market, with many photovoltaic power generation projects being approved.

Do photovoltaic power generation policy synergies exist in China?

We quantitatively examine photovoltaic power generation policy synergies in China. This study expands the existing quantitative research on policy content analysis. China employs strong administrative power approaches, such as macro planning. Market-oriented approaches have not produced strong synergistic effects in China.

How much solar energy can China generate a year?

The total potential for solar radiant energy is 1.7 × 1012 tons of standard coal equivalent per year for the country (Zhang et al., 2009a). China started generating solar photovoltaic (PV) power in the 1960s, and power generation is the dominant form of solar energy (Wang, 2010).

Why is photovoltaic power generation important?

1. Introduction Photovoltaic power generation plays an important role in renewable energy and directly affects energy transition and sustainable development ( Han et al., 2022 ). It is inextricably linked to policy support for its development path, as photovoltaic power generation has started late and is not yet technologically mature.
