Most of the country's distributed solar photovoltaics are installed in the eastern and southern parts of China, where the economy is prosperous and demand for power is greater, including in Zhejiang, Shandong, Jiangsu and Anhui provinces.
Rooftop solar PV installations in China may surge in the next three years as the country goes through a green energy transition and plans to make renewable energy a key cornerstone in the country's path to a greener economy, a recent research report said.
Between March 2023 and March 2024, China installed more solar than it had in the previous three years combined, and more than the rest of the world combined for 2023. Solar capacity first surpassed wind in 2022, and the gap has grown significantly larger, thanks to the massive expansion of distributed solar.
China-specific risk factors for photovoltaic project development are identified. High cash flow risk and lack of legal recourse inhibit private sector investment. Opaque public tenders and rent-seeking lead to low field performance. High-level reform attempts fail to gain traction due to vested interests.
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.
Rystad Energy said small-scale solar PV, including residential, commercial and industrial (C&I), and off-grid projects are gaining momentum supported by economics and policies, with China emerging as a key market.
