Because China is of a large amount of the installed solar capacity, the existing large-scale solar energy curtailment problem have greatly affected the development of the solar power industry (e.g. the investors' profits) and the long-term development of the China's clean energy policy.
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.
Comparing with the data of the year 2016, the new installed capacity of PV power has increased by 32%. By the end of 2017, China's new grid connected installed capacity of PV power generation was 53.06 GW and the cumulative installed capacity reached 130.25 GW , which is 68.7% more than the data of the year of 2016 .
In hopes of increasing the competitiveness of domestic solar companies and promoting the healthy development of the industry, China officially embarked on the road towards subsidy removal in 2018, reducing subsidies by 0.05 RMB per KWh.
As China has the world's largest installed capacity of solar energy, the development of the solar power generation in China will have a profound impact on the healthy development of the global solar power industry. Based on the China's experience, the following suggestions are given for the other countries:
Solar PV and Wind energy have been the focus of attention in the past ten years. Development of CSP in China is still at its infancy phase. The paper evaluates the potential of CSP development by assessing solar, water, land, climatic conditions and manmade resources as key criteria for suitable site selection of CSP plants in China.
Why is China, and Not the US, the Leader in Solar Power?
As of 2023, China accounted for 83% of the world''s solar-panel production while the US produced less than 2%. Meanwhile, China has installed an impressive amount of solar capacity. As of April 2023, China had approximately 430 GW of solar capacity, making it the largest producer of solar energy in…
