The large-scale installation of solar power both globally and in China has promoted improvements in PV conversion efficiencies and reductions in generation costs. Capital costs of utility-scale solar PV per kW fell by 63.3% between 2011 and 2018 in China, accompanied by a number of downward adjustments in the levels of subsidies (18).
According to our results, approximately 78.6 % and 99.9 % of China's technical solar PV potential are priced lower than the benchmark price of coal-fired energy in pessimistic and optimistic scenario.
Adding storage could allow solar to produce nearly half of China's electricity. All that's missing are some batteries. Credit: Jia Yu / Getty Images The incredible plunge in the price of photovoltaic systems has made solar power an affordable option for much of the world.
The cost of solar PV electricity generation is affected by many local factors, making it a challenge to understand whether China has reached the threshold at which a grid-connected solar PV system supplies electricity to the end user at the same price as grid-supplied power or the price of desulfurized coal electricity, or even lower.
With addition of 48.2 GW in 2020, China’s installed capacity of solar PV rose to 253.4 GW (12), far ahead of a target of 105 GW set for 2020 in the 13th 5-y plan (17). The large-scale installation of solar power both globally and in China has promoted improvements in PV conversion efficiencies and reductions in generation costs.
Province-level solar PV supply curves in China were constructed. PV technical potential was estimated around 39.6 PWh to 442 PWh. The uncertainty of PV technical potential was quantified. The cost of PV ranges from 0.12 CNY/kWh to 7.93 CNY/kWh. China's PV economic potential far exceeds its projected electricity demand.
