How to promote the further development of solar PV power under the scenario of China''s aspirational target of carbon peak by 2030 and 20% RE ratio in the energy mix remains a theme that need to be addressed. This
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA)''s forecast, China will fully electrify its railway system by 2050. However, the development of electrified railways is limited in the weak areas of China''s power grid. To
The results can be a useful reference for the development of solar PV power industry in China and other countries. With the rapid development in the last 30 years, China's energy demand has grown at a rapid pace.
During the 1980s, China introduced several photovoltaic (PV) cell production lines from the United States, Canada, and other countries, which eventually formed the solar PV industry in China . By the end of the 1990s, a number of component packaging plants were built.
The program used a mixture of small hydro, PV, and wind power. This program significantly affected the development of the PV industry. China built several solar cell packaging lines and the production capacity of solar cell module reached 100 MW promptly .
Since 2000, China’s PV power technology development has improved dramatically, with technological advances in the efficiency, the reliability, and reduced pollution of PV cells and PV power generation systems.
The major solar power technology currently available is the solar PV system, in which sunlight is directly converted into electricity via photovoltaic effect. The PV industry in China entered its period of rapid development during the 21st century because of the significant increase in global demand for PV products.
This development plan is basically in accordance with the current status of solar PV application in China as large-scale PV (LS-PV), BIPV & BAPV, and rural electrification constitute the major market of solar PV, as shown in Fig. 1.
