Abstract. Photovoltaic (PV) technology, an efficient solution for mitigating the impacts of climate change, has been increasingly used across the world to replace fossil fuel power to minimize greenhouse gas emissions. With the world''s highest cumulative and fastest built PV capacity, China needs to assess the environmental and social impacts of these established PV power

In terms of centralized PV systems, due to the high energy intensive and carbon intensive production conditions, provinces in Northern China, including Ningxia (0.78 and 0.58), Qinghai (0.60 and 0.45) and Xinjiang (0.85 and 0.67), have shown low priority to build solar plants in the future, which is inconsistent with the current geographical
Since July 2020, it now features 13 additional layers, including natural gas infrastructure, coal, nuclear, wind, solar power plants, hydrogen infrastructure, carbon capture projects, mining operations, and electric vehicle (EV) battery factories, providing a more complete picture of China''s energy system.
China's newly installed photovoltaic capacity has ranked first in the world in recent years. Timely and accurate monitoring of the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of solar power plants is essential to optimize China's renewable energy power distribution and achieve carbon reduction targets.
Eventually, we established a map of PV power plants in China by 2020, covering a total area of 2917 km2. We found that most PV power plants were situated on cropland, followed by barren land and grassland, based on the derived national PV map. In addition, the installation of PV power plants has generally decreased the vegetation cover.
The tool shows China ground mounted solar facilities occupied a surface of 2,467.7 km2 at the end of December 2020. Scientists led by the China Agricultural University have created a national-scale map and dataset of ground-mounted PV power stations in China.
With the world's highest cumulative and fastest built PV capacity, China needs to assess the environmental and social impacts of these established PV power plants. However, a comprehensive map regarding the PV power plants' locations and extent remains scarce on the country scale.
From the perspective of geographical distribution, larger solar power plants (≥100MW) are sparsely distributed in remote locations from urban areas, particularly in the northwest region, notably Qinghai and Xinjiang.
The total area of the PV power plants in China is about 897 km2, based on Dunnett's dataset. We manually modified this dataset with Google Earth's background to ensure that the PV samples are located inside the PV power plants.
