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.
Due to rising awareness and technological advancements, solar power is being increasingly invested in throughout the world. China has an abundance of solar energy resources. If the resources of energy are adequately used, it can resolve any energy difficulties. Energy is the foundation of a nation’s socioeconomic progress.
China’s leadership in solar energy has extended to international partnerships and collaborations. The country is involved in global initiatives and projects related to clean energy development, including the Belt and Road Initiative, which promotes solar and renewable energy investments in partner countries.
BEIJING — China has rolled out a raft of measures to significantly increase its installed wind and solar power capacity in the latest step toward a low-carbon, secure and efficient energy mix.
As for distributed solar power, there are two utilization models: (A) self-consumption and selling surplus to the grid; and (B) selling all solar generations to the grid. To reduce the costs of transmission and distribution (such as transmission loss), model A is more encouraged by the Chinese government.
For the rapid growth of China’s solar sector, it is suggested that local manufacturing facilities be enhanced via ongoing R&D to minimize operational expenses and reliance on expensive batteries and imported solar panels. To expedite the development of a project, quick allocation of adequate capital and subsidies is essential.
