At the end of 2015, the PV installed capacity of China was approximately 43.54 GW, and the contribution of PV power generation to total power generation was ≤0.7 % . Five years later (end of 2020), the PV installed capacity of China exceeded 253.83 GW . However, PV power generation does not result in zero carbon emissions.
According to the results of this study, two areas in China can utilize PV power generation with different forms of power generation in current market development.
In this way, the mining degree of PV resources in these regions could be further improved, and the net carbon emission reduction of PV systems in China and countries with uneven distribution of PV resources like China could be further increased. 4.3.2. Strengthening the innovation and application of PV technologies
4. Discussion This work reports that the total capacity potential for large-scale PV in China is 108.22 TW with 150.73 PWh annual solar PV generation (implying an average capacity factor of 15.9), which can bring 150.28 billion tones of CO 2 emission mitigation caused by coal-fired power generation.
So there is a lot of uncertainty in the Chinese solar industry, but there are also irrefutable facts: China needs to continue to expand domestic solar capacity to reach its climate target. Similarly, global demand for PV products will not cease.
Some previous research has evaluated the geographic and technical potential of solar photovoltaic power in China (Chen et al., 2019; Yang et al., 2019), in which only some basic geographic and climatological factors such as land-use type, slope, and solar radiation are considered.
