For the pathway modelled in this study, in which the technology improvement rate of HSPV during the past five years was considered, the total installed capacity would increase from 253 GW in 2020 to 1998 GW and 4548 GW in 2030 and 2050, respectively. Fig. 3. Future development trend of solar PV in China.
Solar PV of China accounted for about one third (174GW) of the global total installed capacity in 2018 and contributed to 3.5% of national total power generation in 2020 .
China has already made major commitments to transitioning its energy systems towards renewables, especially power generation from solar, wind and hydro sources. However, there are many unknowns about the future of solar energy in China, including its cost, technical feasibility and grid compatibility in the coming decades.
In total, by the end of 2022, China had built roughly 157 GW of distributed photovoltaic capacity, more than double that of the United States. China’s Whole County PV programme follows an earlier scheme that aimed to alleviate poverty in the country’s poorest villages using solar power.
Researchers from Harvard, Tsinghua University in Beijing, Nankai University in Tianjin and Renmin University of China in Beijing have found that solar energy could provide 43.2% of China’s electricity demands in 2060 at less than two-and-a-half U.S. cents per kilowatt-hour.
The researchers first found that the physical potential of solar PV, which includes how many solar panels can be installed and how much solar energy they can generate, in China reached 99.2 petawatt-hours in 2020.
