Compared with PV systems in other regions of China, the PV systems in these regions exhibit the advantages of higher power generation performance and more notable carbon emission reduction capacity.
In this way, the mining degree of PV resources in these regions could be further improved, and the net carbon emission reduction of PV systems in China and countries with uneven distribution of PV resources like China could be further increased. 4.3.2. Strengthening the innovation and application of PV technologies
China’s pursuit of photovoltaic (PV) power, particularly rooftop installations, addresses energy and ecological challenges, aiming to reduce basic energy consumption by 50% by 2030. The northwest region, with its solar potential, is a focal point for distributed PV growth, which has already exceeded 50% of the energy mix by 2021.
In addition, China is responsible for the processing of rare earth elements that are mined abroad. China worked hard to maintain its position as a leader in the production of assembled PVs and their parts. The country has also majorly invested in installed capacities. In the span of 25 years, China was able to install 393 GW of solar PV alone.
The negative effects of solar photovoltaic system production include wastewater and waste gas pollutions, the representatives of which contain fluorine, chromium with wastewater and hydrogen fluoride, and silicon tetrachloride gas. Solar panels are also a source of light pollution.
2030 is a critical milestone for China in achieving carbon peak, and large-scale deployment of rooftop photovoltaics is one of the key measures to support this goal in response to national planning and design. Hence, this study selects the summer of 2030 as the simulated period .
