In the seedling stage (from 1980s to 1990s), the State Scientific and Technological Commission set up China Optics and Electronics Technology Centre, which started the study of monocrystalline silicon solar cells, polysilicon silicon solar cells and the application of PV systems.
China's solar revolution is just underway. Photo: Asia Times files / iStock Chinese scientists have successfully boosted the efficiency of a new generation solar cell to 28% in a race with foreign rivals who achieved the result in December 2018 and have since pushed that level to 33.2% in April this year.
In the growth stage (from 2000 to present), the Suntech Company and Yingli Green Energy Company constructed the 10 MWp solar cells production lines in 2002 and 2003, respectively. During the last few years, the output of China’s solar cells increased rapidly and accounted for 30% of the world’s production in 2005.
The Chinese government has formulated and implemented a series of medium and long-term development plans to support the progress of the solar PV power industry. The planning objectives are gradually changing from targets for installed capacity to the development of a clean industry.
The result of this investment is that China has a number of the world's leading PV companies as well as the successful establishment of research and development centers . Another factor that will increase the market for the solar PV power industry is China’s demand for electricity, which continues to grow rapidly.
In 1989, China’s first 10 kW PV power station began operation in Tibet. In the 1990s, the Institute of Electrical Engineering at the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed and constructed an independent PV station. A few production bases were formed in the Pearl River Delta areas and China began to export various PV products.
Research Progress and Application Prospect of Perovskite Solar Cells
Tandem Cells: To surpass the Shockley-Queisser limit of single-junction solar cells, researchers have focused on perovskite-based tandem cells, including perovskite/perovskite (all-perovskite) solar cells and perovskite/silicon solar cells (as shown in Fig. 6). The theoretical photoelectric conversion efficiency of crystalline silicon technology is 29.3%, while single …
