The Northeast China has lower theoretical PV power generation mainly due to the high latitude, low solar radiation and low land use, while the lower value of the East and Central China are mainly because of thicker clouds cover and higher temperature.
In particular, in the economically developed eastern provinces (e.g. Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Guangdong etc.), the PV electricity (mainly BIPV) is 0.67–0.86 RMB/kWh. The cost of LSPV stations ranges from 0.45 to 0.75 RMB/kWh, lower than the BIPV system owing to the scale effect and the strong solar radiation.
In 2020, the cumulative PV capacity and annual generation will be 47 GWp and 60 TWh, with BIPV and LSPV the dominant PV application modes in China. The capacity of RUPV is very small, accounting for only 0.15% of total PV capacity. BIPV and LSPV have distinct geographical distributions in China.
Since 2009, the Chinese government has taken a series of measures to promote solar PV installation in China. In March 2009, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development initiated the first national PV program to subsidize BIPV systems larger than 50 kWp with 0.2 RMB/Wp (equivalent to 0.12–0.20 RMB/kWh).
The installed solar PV capacity in China increasing from 130.25 GW in 2017 to 392.61 GW in 2022 (IRENA, 2023). Moreover, at the United Nations Climate Ambition Summit, China further announced that the total installed capacity of wind and solar power will reach over 1200 GW by 2030 (The United Nations et al., 2020).
Currently, over half of the nation's new installations of power generators are photovoltaic facilities. The surge prompted the CPIA to revise its projections for China's new PV installations this year, raising the forecast from an initial range of 120-140 GW to 160-180 GW. "China's solar power global market share has exceeded 80 percent.
How should government and users share the investment costs and …
The results show that, under China''s central government subsidy of 0.42 yuan per kWh, the best strategy for the local government to encourage the public to install solar PV facilities is to provide a one-off compensation equal to 30% of the initial investment.
