What is the capacity potential for large-scale solar PV in China?

4. Discussion This work reports that the total capacity potential for large-scale PV in China is 108.22 TW with 150.73 PWh annual solar PV generation (implying an average capacity factor of 15.9), which can bring 150.28 billion tones of CO 2 emission mitigation caused by coal-fired power generation.

Does China have a potential for solar PV power station installation & generation?

The results of this study indicated that China, as one of the fast-growing countries in the global south, shows outstanding potential for solar PV power station installation and generation potential.

Can China achieve a net-zero electricity system by 2050?

We show that it is feasible for China to fulfill a net-zero electricity system by 2050, through the installation of 7.46 TW solar PV panels on about 1.8% of the national land area (mostly in western China) with a total capital investment of 4.55 trillion USD in the next 30 years.

How to promote solar PV installation 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).

What is the total PV capacity in China in 2020?

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.

Can DBSCAN clustering be used for large-scale solar farms in China?

Conclusion and future work This study introduced a three-stage framework for identifying potential locations for large-scale PV solar farms in China. Specifically, the DBSCAN clustering method was applied to consolidate land parcels, thereby mitigating the cost and management issues associated with land fragmentation.
