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.
Renewable energy plays a significant role in achieving energy savings and emission reduction. As a sustainable and environmental friendly renewable energy power technology, concentrated solar power (CSP) integrates power generation and energy storage to ensure the smooth operation of the power system. However, the cost of CSP is an obstacle
To achieve the goals of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, Xinjiang, as an autonomous region in China with large energy reserves, should adjust its energy development and vigorously develop new energy sources,
To this end, this study aims to provide an accurate and reliable strategy to address the current sparse coverage of solar radiation measurements in China, as well as to produce a long-term solar radiation dataset for assessing and understanding the national solar radiation resources and PV power potential. To fulfill these objectives, this
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. Firstly, we employed three exclusion criteria (protected areas, surface slope and land use) to eliminate unsuitable areas for the installation of China''s
In this study, we combined high-density and high-accuracy station-based solar radiation data from more than 2400 stations and a solar PV electricity generation model to map the technical potential for solar PV generation in China, while simultaneously considering land constraints through geographic information system technology. We found that
According to the "China Wind and Solar Energy Resources Annual Bulletin 2022", the average annual solar radiation received by the horizontal planes for power generation reached 1563.4 kWh/m 2, while the average annual solar radiation received by the planes with optimal slanting reached 1815.8 kWh/m 2.
Combined solar power and storage as cost-competitive and grid-compatible supply for China''s future carbon-neutral electricity system.

Researchers from Harvard, Tsinghua University in Beijing, Nankai University in Tianjin and Renmin University of China in Beijing have found that solar energy could provide 43.2% of China''s electricity demands in 2060
The authors found that reductions in costs of solar power and storage systems could supply China with 7.2 petawatt-hours of gridcompatible electricity by 2060, meeting 43.2% of the country''s projected energy demand
In this paper, we began by evaluating the abilities of multi-RCM simulations driven by three GCMs from CMIP5 in reproducing the surface solar radiation over China. Then, the long-term trends and changes in different
To achieve the goals of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, Xinjiang, as an autonomous region in China with large energy reserves, should adjust its energy development and vigorously develop new energy sources, such as photovoltaic (PV) power. This study utilized data spatiotemporal variation in solar radiation from 1984 to 2016 to verify that
The authors found that reductions in costs of solar power and storage systems could supply China with 7.2 petawatt-hours of gridcompatible electricity by 2060, meeting 43.2% of the country''s projected energy demand at a price lower than 2.5 US cents per kilowatt-hour. The results suggest the existence of a transition point for China at which

Currently, the capacity of PV in China is growing rapidly. By the end of 2020, the cumulative installed capacity of PV in China had reached 253 GW, with a growth of 23.5% compared to 2019. The new growth of installed capacity of PV was 48.2 GW, which topped the 2020 global solar energy market (IRENA, 2020).
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 decline in costs for solar power and storage systems offers opportunity for solar-plus-storage systems to serve as a cost-competitive source for the future energy system in China. The transportation, building, and industry sectors account, respectively, for 15.3, 18.3, and 66.3% of final energy consumption in China (5).
