The political and economic environment in China is suitable for the development and growth of the solar PV power industry. In the future, the formulation of PV power industry development plan will increase considering the sustainability and capacity building rather than the government subsidies.
At present, there are four major modes of photovoltaic agriculture in China: photovoltaic planting, photovoltaic breeding, photovoltaic water conservancy and photovoltaic cottages (Xue, 2017). The “Photovoltaic + industry” refers to the integration of industrial and commercial plant roofs with PV applications.
Most of China's solar power is generated within its western provinces and is transferred to other regions of the country. In 2011, China owned the largest solar power plant in the world at the time, the Huanghe Hydropower Golmud Solar Park, which had a photovoltaic capacity of 200 MW.
Installed capacity of the solar PV power in China (1990–2009). To encourage the development of renewable energy such as solar PV power, China has promulgated a series of laws, regulations and financial incentive policies, and has invested significant funds in PV power generation projects.
Photovoltaic research in China began in 1958 with the development of China's first piece of monocrystalline silicon. Research continued with the development of solar cells for space satellites in 1968. The Institute of Semiconductors of the Chinese Academy of Sciences led this research for a year, stopping after batteries failed to operate.
China's photovoltaic industry began by making panels for satellites, and transitioned to the manufacture of domestic panels in the late 1990s. After substantial government incentives were introduced in 2011, China's solar power market grew dramatically: the country became the world's leading installer of photovoltaics in 2013.
The Impact of Climate Change on Solar Radiation and Photovoltaic …
Solar photovoltaics is a direct use of solar resources to generate electricity, which is one of the most important renewable energy application approaches. Regional PV output could be affected by the regional patterns of temperature and irradiance, which are impacted by climate change. This study examines the impact of climate change on the energy yields from solar PV …
