The United States has maintained an investment intensity of approximately 0.25 percent over the past decade in the RE realm. In terms of policy support, China is firmly committed to supporting the photovoltaic industry based on its and energy transition.
China has emerged as a leading player in the global solar PV market. According to China's National Energy Administration (NEA), the country added 54.88 GW of solar PV capacity in 2021 comprising approximately 29.28 GW of distributed generation and 25.60 GW of centralized solar PV.
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.
China possesses abundant solar energy resources, making it an ideal region for the development of the PV industry. The country’s solar energy resources are primarily concentrated in Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Qinghai, and Tibet. Approximately of the land in China has the potential to be cost-effective sites for solar power stations.
Particularly in winter and autumn, the regional mean PV electricity generation in China is projected to rise by 3.55 % and 3.18 % respectively, relative to the historical period. In detail, the maximum increase of up to 16 % will be seen in the east of Sichuan and Chongqing in winter and autumn.
Photovoltaic research in China began in 1958 with the development of China's first piece of monocrystalline silicon. Research continued with the development of solar cells for space satellites in 1968. The Institute of Semiconductors of the Chinese Academy of Sciences led this research for a year, stopping after batteries failed to operate.
