Interestingly, these areas are also characterized by the most severe air pollution, which has been suggested to be a primary cause for the reduction in solar radiation resources . Fig. 13. Spatial pattern of GSR trends in China for (a) 1961–1990, (b) 1990–2016, and (c) 1961–2016.
Thus, the northwestern part of China offer a favorable venue for constructing large-scale solar PV power stations; while the east and south China, where the country’s economy is the most prosperous and the demand for power is greatest, are more suitable for the distributed solar PV.
Long-term solar radiation datasets were reconstructed across China. Global solar radiation in summer decreased by up to 1.83 W·m −2 ·decade −1. China’s PV power potential decreased by 1.69 kWh·m−2 ·decade −1 from 1961 to 2016. 30 provinces saw a 0.25–10.27% reduction in PV potential in the 2010s versus the 1960s.
The annual mean global solar radiation in China from 1961 to 2016 was estimated at 174.36 W·m −2, with a decreasing trend of −0.83 W·m −2 ·decade −1.
Due to the reasons outlined above, studies focusing on China’s solar radiation resources and solar energy potential based on observational data tend to be restricted to a limited spatial and temporal horizon, which may introduce significant uncertainties in the results.
Specifically, the PV power potential of China decreased by 2.88% from 287.55 (the 1960s) to 280.21 (the 2010s) kWh·m −2. EC saw the largest average reduction of 8.64%, followed by SC and CC, both of which experienced approximately 8% losses in PV power potential.
