China has already made major commitments to transitioning its energy systems towards renewables, especially power generation from solar, wind and hydro sources. However, there are many unknowns about the future of solar energy in China, including its cost, technical feasibility and grid compatibility in the coming decades.
The Northeast China has lower theoretical PV power generation mainly due to the high latitude, low solar radiation and low land use, while the lower value of the East and Central China are mainly because of thicker clouds cover and higher temperature.
Since the issue of the national feed-in tariff incentive in 2011, China’s solar PV installed capacity increased from 3GW to 300GW by the end of 2021 . It is predicted that under the carbon neutrality target, China's solar power generation will further increase by 16 folds over the next 40 years .
The installed solar PV capacity in China increasing from 130.25 GW in 2017 to 392.61 GW in 2022 (IRENA, 2023). Moreover, at the United Nations Climate Ambition Summit, China further announced that the total installed capacity of wind and solar power will reach over 1200 GW by 2030 (The United Nations et al., 2020).
On the basis of analysis of the four factors that impact the development of China’s PV power generation, including solar-energy resources in China, PV industry conditions, research and development of solar-cell technology, and related PV policies, the prospects and development potential of PV power generation in China are discussed.
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.

And despite all the turmoil, the Chinese solar industry has the manufacturing capacity to meet the demand. Discover all statistics and data on Solar energy in China now on statista !
Based on the measured solar radiation and power generation data of a 5.6 kW PV grid-connected system in Beijing from June of 2012 to December of 2016, the differences between the measured data and the data provided by solar energy databases are analyzed. The results show that the measured data is lower than 80–90% of the data provided by Meteonorm …
Furthermore, given the critical role of solar energy in achieving China''s carbon neutrality goals and the projected rapid expansion of the PV market during the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021–2025) in China, this study analyzed the reduction in PV power generation and associated revenue losses in the PV sector resulting from air pollution. The geographically …
We found that the annual mean PV power potential across mainland China ranged from 1-37 Wm-2 and demonstrated a decreasing trend in the Northwest China and an increasing trend in the...
Zhu and Fan (2010) used portfolio theory to evaluate China''s power generation ... and Zhang et al. (2018), the monthly fluctuation of integrated power generation is introduced to measure the absorption risk of these technologies (National Bureau of Statistics of China, 2021). In addition, although wind and solar power generation have a complementary relationship from …
In 2019, for example, China''s installed solar power capacity reached 204.68 GW or over 8000 times the capacity a decade ago. Meanwhile, solar power generation reached …
This study aims to estimate China''s solar PV power generation potential by following three main steps: suitable sites selection, theoretical PV power generation and total cost of the system. Firstly, we employed three exclusion criteria (protected areas, surface slope and land use) to eliminate unsuitable areas for the installation of China''s ...
