6 Frequently Asked Questions about “China Solar Power Generation Analysis Report”

How to estimate China's solar PV power generation potential?

This study aims to estimate China's solar PV power generation potential by following three main steps: suitable sites selection, theoretical PV power generation and total cost of the system.

How is PV power generation potential assessed in China?

This study used a PV power generation potential assessment system based on Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods to investigate the PV power generation potential in China.

How much solar power does China have in 2022?

Among them, 365GW of wind power and 393GW of solar power. In 2022, China's new PV installation was 87.41GW(AC), up 59.3% year-on-year. Among them, utility PV installed 36.3GW, up 41.8% year-on-year while distributed PV installed 51.1GW, up 74.5% year-on-year.

What is the capacity potential of solar power in China?

The total capacity potential of China in 2015 is 78.46 TW, while the installed capacity in operation is only 43.18 GWh in the same period. The installed capacity of most provinces in China accounts for no more than 1% of the capacity potential, especially in the PV potential-rich areas.

Does China have a solar PV potential?

Similarly, some researchers have previously estimated China's solar PV potential. Yu et al. (2023) utilized multi-criteria decision mode and random forest algorithm to calculate China's large-scale and distributed solar PV power generation potentials in prefecture-level cities.

What will China's new solar power plants look like in 2023?

By then, wind and PV power installations will exceed coal power, with an installed capacity of 30-40%, becoming the first major power source. The share of wind and PV power generation will reach 17-25%. China's new PV installations are forecast to reach 150-180GW in 2023.
