Development of distributed solar photovoltaics mainly benefited from the incentive policies in China. Currently the cost of PV power generation is still higher than traditional energy sources. China's PV industry is incapable of competing in the energy market without policy intervention.
(Distributed refers to smaller solar power generation facilities that are located close to consumers and connected to distribution systems, with access voltage below 35 kilovolts.) China’s new installed capacity of distributed solar PV in 2017 was 19.4 gigawatts —3.6 times higher than it was just a year before.
Distributed solar PV generated 13.7 terawatt-hours of electricity in 2017, enough to power all the households in Beijing for 7.5 months. The accumulated installed capacity of distributed solar PV now accounts for 27.1 percent of China’s total solar PV installation.
The first study to calculate distributed solar PV (DSPV) potential at city level in China. China has many DSPV resources, but they are unevenly distributed. The DSPV resources such as industrial parks, public facilities and rooftops of buildings have been neglected.
Distributed solar PV has been installed mainly in east and south China, where the country’s economy is most prosperous and demand for power is greatest. About 52 percent of capacity is in four provinces: Zhejiang, Shandong, Jiangsu and Anhui. There are four main reasons that distributed solar PV is growing faster than ever: 1. National Targets
Owing to China's escalating demand for renewable energy and carbon emissions reduction, and given its prominent position as one of the fastest-growing nations in photovoltaic (PV) development, a comprehensive assessment of the potential of both centralized and distributed photovoltaic systems in China is crucial.
