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.
In this study, we combined high-density and high-accuracy station-based solar radiation data from more than 2400 stations and a solar PV electricity generation model to map the technical potential for solar PV generation in China, while simultaneously considering land constraints through geographic information system technology.
With the PV module degradation rate considered during evaluation, the power generation capacity of China's PV power stations in 2020 was calculated to be 238.65 TWh.
According to our dataset, China has a total of 2467.7 km 2 ground-mounted PV power stations in 2020. The top three largest provinces refer to Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and Qinghai, whose PV area ratio are 14.92%, 12.49% and 11.26%, respectively, with a total of nearly 40% of all the PV power stations of China.
Fig. 1 Examples of PV power stations in China. The land used for PV power stations includes gobi (left), grassland (top), water bodies (right), mountain land (bottom), etc. The objective of this study is to provide the first publicly released 10-m national map of ground-mounted PV power stations of China in 2020.
In general, the regional distribution of photovoltaic power stations in China is quite different, and the regional competition patterns are variable. Provinces with high installed photovoltaic power stations and high regional competition are mainly located in Northwest and North China.
