China's newly installed photovoltaic capacity has ranked first in the world in recent years. Timely and accurate monitoring of the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of solar power plants is essential to optimize China's renewable energy power distribution and achieve carbon reduction targets.
In the fourth of a series of commentaries, a veteran journalist with China Daily focuses on the solar power industry's development. The development of the solar photovoltaic industry over the past two decades provided China with increasing amount of clean energy and, as expected, greatly reduced its carbon emissions.
China is giving incentives to encourage solar power generation. It also encourages market competition, so as to accelerate the development of relevant technologies and reduce costs. And as the solar power industry grows in size, its cost has been reducing.
By combining its efforts to develop the solar PV sector with measures to control desertification and alleviate poverty, China not only succeeded in eliminating abject poverty in those areas but also boosted the solar panel industry.
Notably, PV panels, elevated 2.5 m from the ground, serve as canopies for a verdant base below, fostering eight varieties of Chinese herbs, including honeysuckle, thyme, trident bitter, and two-sided needle .
With the continuous growth in the number and scale of installed PV power stations in China, the demand for land dedicated to PV is also on the rise . By the year 2060, it is projected that China's PV installed capacity will exceed 3 billion kW [5, 6].
