How big is China's PV power station?

China’s total PV power station area in 2020 was estimated as 2635.64 km 2. China’s PV power generation in 2020 was calculated to be 238.65 TWh. This power amount is equivalent to reducing carbon emissions by 149.63 million tons. Evaluation results favor Sustainable Development Goals and carbon neutrality.

What is the power generation capacity of China's PV power stations in 2020?

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.

Does China have a large-scale consumption of PV power generation?

However, our conclusions have policy implications for the large-scale consumption of PV power generation in China and other countries. In 2014, China's PV cumulative installed capacity reached 28.05 GW. Currently, supportive policies in China focus on the national level.

Does China need a centralized and distributed photovoltaic system?

Owing to China's escalating demand for renewable energy and carbon emissions reduction, and given its prominent position as one of the fastest-growing nations in photovoltaic (PV) development, a comprehensive assessment of the potential of both centralized and distributed photovoltaic systems in China is crucial.
