Solar Photovoltaic Technology Basics
Learn the basics of how photovoltaic (PV) technology works with these resources from the DOE Solar Energy Technologies Office.
As of 2020, the cumulative grid-connected photovoltaic capacity reached 252.5GW, an increase of 23.6%. Among them, the cumulative installed capacity of centralized photovoltaic power stations is 159.57GW, and the cumulative installed capacity of distributed photovoltaic power stations is 74.83GW.
Optimized deployment of solar PV stations at provincial level in China is depicted. Northwest and northeast China lack demand for new solar PV stations in recent years. Developed provinces should be highly encouraged to deploy more solar PV systems.
With the PV module degradation rate considered during evaluation, the power generation capacity of China's PV power stations in 2020 was calculated to be 238.65 TWh.
According to data released by the National Energy Administration, the cumulative total installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation in China in 2020 was 253GW, a year-on-year increase of 23.8%. As photovoltaics gradually enter the era of parity and 14-five-year plan, the installed capacity will show a more rapid growth trend.
Firstly, the economic viability of solar PV stations in China at the provincial level is conducted via NPV and LCOE. Secondly, environmental performance is evaluated through the abatement of CO emissions. By introducing the shadow prices, the environmental performance is monetized.
In 2022, only Hebei and Guangdong are encouraged to deploy more than 1500 MW newly-added solar PV stations. Almost two-thirds of P/Ms do not rely on newly constructed solar PV systems to meet the RPS targets. The newly-added installed capacity in the other 9 provinces is less than 500 MW.
