New and cumulative installed capacities of China's solar PV power from 2000 to 2017. In order to effectively coordinate the scale and speed of the solar PV installation with the economic development, China has occasionally set and adjusted the development targets for solar PV power.
In 2015, the deployment of solar PV stations was very concentrated. The installed capacity in Gansu, Qinghai, and Xinjiang accounted for over 40% of the total, and all of them are less developed provinces located in northwestern China, far from the domestic load centers located in the coastal regions [ ].
Fig. 4 shows the optimal development path for China's solar PV power under the base case. The solar PV power development target for 2050 will be achieved in 2048, two years ahead of the schedule. The development trend will be maintained before 2040, but the a big vibration of the installed capacity appears after 2041.
According to data released by the National Energy Administration, the cumulative total installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation in China in 2020 was 253GW, a year-on-year increase of 23.8%. As photovoltaics gradually enter the era of parity and 14-five-year plan, the installed capacity will show a more rapid growth trend.
The market potential m of solar PV power in China reaches 1357 GW. This is higher than the results in the early studies, which predicted that the potential cumulative installed capacity of solar PV power will reach 287.68 GW in 2050.
In the first three quarters of 2020, China's newly added PV installed capacity was 18.7GW, higher than the level of the same period of last year. In the fourth quarter, it showed explosive growth, making the annual newly added installed capacity reach 48.2GW, including 32.68GW of centralized PV and 15.52GW of distributed PV.
