4. Discussion This work reports that the total capacity potential for large-scale PV in China is 108.22 TW with 150.73 PWh annual solar PV generation (implying an average capacity factor of 15.9), which can bring 150.28 billion tones of CO 2 emission mitigation caused by coal-fired power generation.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
