Solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation is the process of converting energy from the sun into electricity using solar panels. Solar panels, also called PV panels, are combined into arrays in a PV system. PV systems can also be installed in grid-connected or off-grid (stand-alone) configurations. The basic components of these two configurations
China has great opportunities to use solar energy due to its huge solar resource (Zhao et al., 2013). More than two-thirds of the country has over 2000 h of sunshine each year, which provides an equivalent of annual solar radiation of over 5.02 × 10 6 kJ/m 2.The total potential for solar radiant energy is 1.7 × 10 12 tons of standard coal equivalent per year for the
Photovoltaic (PV) power generation is expected to play an important role in the clean energy transition ahead. it will pay off in about 8 years and the system will generate and sell its own
The major solar power technology currently available is the solar PV system, in which sunlight is directly converted into electricity via photovoltaic effect. The PV industry in China entered its period of rapid development during the 21st century because of the significant increase in global demand for PV products.
According to the national development strategy, China will develop solar photovoltaic power generation vigorously. Large-scale development of solar photovoltaic requires a lot of financial support, thus, how to achieve development goals with minimum cost is a meaningful study and can provide practical significance for policy studies.
However, our conclusions have policy implications for the large-scale consumption of PV power generation in China and other countries. In 2014, China's PV cumulative installed capacity reached 28.05 GW. Currently, supportive policies in China focus on the national level.
The market potential m of solar PV power in China reaches 1357 GW. This is higher than the results in the early studies, which predicted that the potential cumulative installed capacity of solar PV power will reach 287.68 GW in 2050.
The total potential for solar radiant energy is 1.7 × 1012 tons of standard coal equivalent per year for the country (Zhang et al., 2009a). China started generating solar photovoltaic (PV) power in the 1960s, and power generation is the dominant form of solar energy (Wang, 2010).
During the 1980s, China introduced several photovoltaic (PV) cell production lines from the United States, Canada, and other countries, which eventually formed the solar PV industry in China . By the end of the 1990s, a number of component packaging plants were built.
