We only integrated wind and solar power into the supply side of the electric power system for five reasons: (i) we primarily focused on the full potential of wind and solar resources to constitute a green and sustainable power system; (ii) to mitigate climate change, renewables (mainly wind and solar) have already been prescribed as the dominant source of power …
Most of China's solar power is generated within its western provinces and is transferred to other regions of the country. In 2011, China owned the largest solar power plant in the world at the time, the Huanghe Hydropower Golmud Solar Park, which had a photovoltaic capacity of 200 MW.
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.
China is leading that growth: it ranks first since 2015 in both installed capacity and power generation. By 2017, China had 130 gigawatts of solar PV to the grid—nearly six times the capacity of the Three Gorges hydroelectric plant, the largest in the world. Furthermore, the nation achieved its 2020 goal for solar two years ahead of schedule.
Solar energy resources distribution According to the data of Chinese Weather Bureau (CWB) and literature , the total solar energy resources are enormous in large soil area, but the irradiation is various in different zones.
In the first nine months of 2017, China saw 43 GW of solar energy installed in the first nine months of the year and saw a total of 52.8 GW of solar energy installed for the entire year. 2017 is currently the year with the largest addition of solar energy capacity in China.
China has a strong share of distributed solar PV, with close to 225 GW out of 536 GW, reflecting a diverse and robust deployment and bringing affordable clean electricity alongside greater energy independence.

OverviewHistorySolar resourcesSolar photovoltaicsConcentrated solar powerSolar water heatingEffects on the global solar power industryGovernment incentives
China is the largest market in the world for both photovoltaics and solar thermal energy. China''s photovoltaic industry began by making panels for satellites, and transitioned to the manufacture of domestic panels in the late 1990s. After substantial government incentives were introduced in 2011, China''s solar power market grew dramatically: the country became the world''s leading installer of photovoltaics
The newly installed capacity of distributed solar power increased 125 percent year-on-year to about 19.65 million kilowatts in the first half, taking up about two-thirds of China''s total newly increased solar power capacity, the China Photovoltaic Industry Association said earlier last week.
In China''s vast and fertile land, there are very rich solar energy resources. In more than two-thirds of China, the total annual radiation is more than 5.02 million KJ/m2, and the annual sunshine hours exceed 2000H. The distribution trend of solar energy resources in China has the following 5 characteristics: ⑴.22°~35° north latitude area

Photovoltaic (PV) power is regarded as one of the most promising low-carbon energy generation approaches in China (Binz and Anadon, 2018, He et al., 2018).To encourage the domestic PV industry, many subsidy policies, such as feed-in tariffs, have been implemented (Zhao et al., 2014).As a result, China has become the largest solar power producer in the …
Assessments of PV generation in the provinces of China are conducted by indicators of EROI and EROC. The distribution of China''s solar power for the low-carbon electricity transition does not match the current layout. Carbon pricing policy can create development opportunity and suitable production conditions for photovoltaic generation.

China''s renewable energy capacity, especially that of wind and solar, has witnessed rapid growth since the implementation of its Renewable Energy Law on 1 January 2006. By the end of 2016, the total installed capacity of wind and solar power in the country had reached 169 GW and 78 GW respectively, in both cases the largest of any country in the world.
Especially, solar energy has been regarded due to it is renewable, friendly to the environment, distributing abroad, and flexible for installation. Abundant solar energy resource gives a chance to improve the inappropriate energy structure in future China.
In China, distributed solar PV is growing remarkably faster than large-scale solar power stations. (Distributed refers to smaller solar power generation facilities that are located …
