The eastern region has great accumulated photovoltaic electricity potential, which is 3.21 times that of the western region. Rooftop photovoltaic system plays an important role in solar energy power generation especially in urban. In this paper, we present an assessment method for the PV power generation potential of rooftop in China.
The growth of Residential rooftop solar (RRS) in some western countries has predominantly been driven by individual or market behaviour and has been extensively studied. However, the development landscape of RRS in China differs, and its driving mechanisms remain unclear.
In this paper, we present an assessment method for the PV power generation potential of rooftop in China. Using machine learning model processes the big data that consists of the gross domestic product, building footprint, road length and population, at a high geographic resolution of 10 km by 10 km.
In 2021, China’s newly installed capacity of distributed PV is 29.27 GWp, accounting for 55% of the total installed capacity. It has entered a rapid development stage (Li and Huang, 2020, Anon, 2022a). There are 676 rooftop solar photovoltaic (RTSPV) pilot projects in 31 provinces in China in 2021 (Anon, 2021a).
Fishman, an energy analyst at the Lantau Group, an economic consultancy firm in Shanghai, was keen to meet with developers in Shandong to understand how China is developing extensive rooftop solar installations at such a remarkable pace.
1. Introduction Residential rooftop solar (RRS) for electricity generation is essential in the new power system and vital during the low-carbon green energy transformation, which is being adopted globally (Moore and Bullard, 2021). In recent years, China’s RRS has been expanding rapidly, with the annual growth rate ranking first in the world.
