What is the future of solar energy in China?

China has already made major commitments to transitioning its energy systems towards renewables, especially power generation from solar, wind and hydro sources. However, there are many unknowns about the future of solar energy in China, including its cost, technical feasibility and grid compatibility in the coming decades.

How much solar power will China have by 2060?

Moreover, China plans 3550 GW of installed PV capacity by 2060, accounting for 45% of the total power generation in China [ 4 ]. Thus, robust estimates of future trends and uncertainties in solar radiation are crucial for realizing this promise of energy structure optimization.

Why does China have a large-scale Solar Energy Curtailment problem?

Because China is of a large amount of the installed solar capacity, the existing large-scale solar energy curtailment problem have greatly affected the development of the solar power industry (e.g. the investors' profits) and the long-term development of the China's clean energy policy.

Does solar energy grow in China?

Several scholars have analyzed the growth of solar energy in the Chinese context from various angles. Irfan et al. (2019a, b) emphasized the significance of solar energy for power production in China and evaluated the potential of electricity generation from solar sources.

How will China's solar energy development affect the global solar power industry?

As China has the world's largest installed capacity of solar energy, the development of the solar power generation in China will have a profound impact on the healthy development of the global solar power industry. Based on the China's experience, the following suggestions are given for the other countries:

How many GW of solar power will China have in 2021?

By the end of 2021, the installed capacity of the PV systems nationwide reached 306 GW, ranking first in the world for six consecutive years since 2015. Moreover, China plans 3550 GW of installed PV capacity by 2060, accounting for 45% of the total power generation in China [ 4 ].
