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.
In 2021, China’s newly installed capacity of distributed PV is 29.27 GWp, accounting for 55% of the total installed capacity. It has entered a rapid development stage (Li and Huang, 2020, Anon, 2022a). There are 676 rooftop solar photovoltaic (RTSPV) pilot projects in 31 provinces in China in 2021 (Anon, 2021a).
The variability was extremely high (CV > 0.6) in the Sichuan basin and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, due to frequently cloudy and rainy weather. The spatial pattern of CV implied that most rooftop PV generations were characterized by significant volatility and uncertainty.
A novel systematic method for assessing the potential of urban rooftop PV is proposed. Residential areas contribute 50% of the total rooftop PV potential in Guangzhou, China. The rooftop PV potential in Guangzhou reaches 44.06–72.12 billion kWh per year. Rooftop PV reduces carbon emissions in the power sector in Guangzhou by 72.12–100%.
