The average cost of PV energy for public utilities in China was below 0.37CNY/kWh (0.0541USD/kWh) in 2020 . In 2021, the price of China's PV electricity to upload to the State Grid was reduced to equal to local desulfurized coal electricity price (DCEP) .
The cost of solar PV electricity generation is affected by many local factors, making it a challenge to understand whether China has reached the threshold at which a grid-connected solar PV system supplies electricity to the end user at the same price as grid-supplied power or the price of desulfurized coal electricity, or even lower.
Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative In recent years, China has become not just a large producer but a major market for solar photovoltaics (PV), increasing interest in solar electricity prices in China.
Considering the cost components specific for renewables, this study conducted an economic feasibility and cost parity analysis of China's PV generation, so that the competitive potential and the spatiotemporal development pattern of technology costs could be worked out. The research framework (Fig. 2) and process is outlined as follows:
The PV electricity costs vary significantly among provinces. In the economically developed eastern provinces, the PV electricity (mainly BIPV) is 0.67–0.86 RMB/kWh. This rate is close to grid parity owing to high grid prices, but the CO 2 mitigation cost is high (456–693 RMB/Mg CO 2).
Solar PV power generation was calculated according to the system parameters and assumptions shown in the Methods. In China, the cities with the highest and lowest solar PV power generation are Ngari (32.50° N, 80.11° E; around 1,976 kWh kW p−1) and Chongqing (29.43° N, 106.91° E; around 732 kWh kW p−1), respectively.
