As the world''s largest carbon emitter, China has pledged to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. An essential pathway to the carbon neutrality goal is to promote the replacement of coal-fired power generation with low or zero-carbon energy sources [1], [2].Solar power, especially solar photovoltaic (PV), will be one of the main energy sources in the future …
Most of China's solar power is generated within its western provinces and is transferred to other regions of the country. In 2011, China owned the largest solar power plant in the world at the time, the Huanghe Hydropower Golmud Solar Park, which had a photovoltaic capacity of 200 MW.
He and Kammen evaluated the provincial level technical potential of solar PV in China by using solar radiation data from 200 representative locations. It was estimated that the installed capacity and annual generation potential in China were 4,700–39,300 GW and 6,900–70,100 TWh respectively.
Photovoltaic research in China began in 1958 with the development of China's first piece of monocrystalline silicon. Research continued with the development of solar cells for space satellites in 1968. The Institute of Semiconductors of the Chinese Academy of Sciences led this research for a year, stopping after batteries failed to operate.
To satisfy foreign countries' rising needs for PV, the manufacturing of solar panels in China has been rapidly growing on the back of foreign technology and capital. But the boom was short-lived because of the 2008 financial crisis, which contracted a lot of demand from Western countries.
By the middle of 2022, China’s installed capacity of PV has reached 336GW . Given the current average land use footprint of 35 W/m 2 and a goal to build 5000 GW solar PV by 2050 , the land required for PV installation will be 1.43 × 10 5 km 2, close to the area of Liaoning Province.
China's photovoltaic industry began by making panels for satellites, and transitioned to the manufacture of domestic panels in the late 1990s. After substantial government incentives were introduced in 2011, China's solar power market grew dramatically: the country became the world's leading installer of photovoltaics in 2013.

China is the largest market in the world for both photovoltaics and solar thermal energy. China''s photovoltaic industry began by making panels for satellites, and transitioned to the manufacture of domestic panels in the late 1990s. After substantial government incentives were introduced in 2011, China''s solar power market grew dramatically: the country became the world''s leading installer of photovoltaics
For a long time, solar power has been considered a clean and non-polluting energy source because it absorbs sunlight without consuming other energy or materials and does not emit pollutants. Nevertheless, the manufacturing and end-of-life stages of solar power systems leave an environmental footprint and produce pollutants. Hence, a global perspective on photovoltaic …
