China has already made major commitments to transitioning its energy systems towards renewables, especially power generation from solar, wind and hydro sources. However, there are many unknowns about the future of solar energy in China, including its cost, technical feasibility and grid compatibility in the coming decades.
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).
On the basis of analysis of the four factors that impact the development of China’s PV power generation, including solar-energy resources in China, PV industry conditions, research and development of solar-cell technology, and related PV policies, the prospects and development potential of PV power generation in China are discussed.
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.
To make it competitive enough when competing with traditional power generation forms, and to reduce the fiscal expenditure at the same time, Chinese government has taken a series of measures to weaken the incentive policies in solar PV generation. Thus, the investment ratio for solar PV power is set to be a lower level of 0.5% of GDP.
New and cumulative installed capacities of China's solar PV power from 2000 to 2017. In order to effectively coordinate the scale and speed of the solar PV installation with the economic development, China has occasionally set and adjusted the development targets for solar PV power.
