In the long term, the capability of wind and solar to contribute to the national power sector will be influenced by a number of other factors specific to China, such as the dominance of coal generation in the power sector, long transmission distances of wind and solar energy, and expense of natural gas generation for variable load balancing.
An overview of the most recent development of solar energy in China. A new pattern from stationary to distributive forms of solar energy is highlighted. Reasons for the changing pattern: Diversified prices and subsidies. Challenges and policy options for the expansion of China's solar energy.
China’s leadership in solar energy has extended to international partnerships and collaborations. The country is involved in global initiatives and projects related to clean energy development, including the Belt and Road Initiative, which promotes solar and renewable energy investments in partner countries.
Several scholars have analyzed the growth of solar energy in the Chinese context from various angles. Irfan et al. (2019a, b) emphasized the significance of solar energy for power production in China and evaluated the potential of electricity generation from solar sources.
Some parts of the country get 2 MWh/m 2 solar irradiation and 3,000 h of sunshine per year, which is ideal for setting up solar energy parks to exploit the true potential of solar sources in the country (Kamran et al. 2019). Several scholars have analyzed the growth of solar energy in the Chinese context from various angles.
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.
