The disruption of the power sector with low-cost solar PV electricity will be followed by a substantial solar PV share in the primary energy supply for the entire energy system, for chemical feedstock, and even as a major energy supply for net-negative CO 2 emissions solutions needed for keeping the 1.5 °C target of the Paris Agreement.
Among renewable energy sources solar energy attract more attention and many studies have focused on using solar energy for electricity generation. Here, in this study, solar energy technologies are reviewed to find out the best option for electricity generation. Using solar energy to generate electricity can be done either directly and indirectly.
As the least-cost source of electricity generation of newly installed capacities, solar PV electricity emerges as the primary electricity source for power-to-X processes in most regions around the world.
Green ammonia is the first e-chemical/e-fuel that is cost competitive with the fossil solutions of the present, indicating that the other e-fuels and e-chemicals will follow in the near term to midterm. Thus, solar PV will disrupt not only the power sector but the entire energy industry system ( 14, 16 ).
Because solar photovoltaic (PV) electricity will be cheaper than China’s current coal-based electricity supply, China can expect substantial economic growth from a massive and rapid ramping up of solar PV capacities.
The solar PV potential in China is several factors larger than its long-term total energy demand, as the 99.2 PWh of identified technical potential as of 2020 is projected to increase to 146.1 PWh in 2060.
