Theoretical solar PV capacity factors in China ranges between 13.78 % to 27.55 %; After capacity factors are converted to utilization hours, the national average theoretical utilization hours were 1647 hr, and the values of the seven provinces range between 1333 hr in Jiangxi to 1785 hr in Gansu.
Since the issue of the national feed-in tariff incentive in 2011, China’s solar PV installed capacity increased from 3GW to 300GW by the end of 2021 . It is predicted that under the carbon neutrality target, China's solar power generation will further increase by 16 folds over the next 40 years .
In recent years, the Chinese government has carried out a series of Photovoltaic Desert Control Projects, aiming to combine the efforts to develop the solar PV sector with measures to control desertification (CGTN, 2017; The state council of the P.R.C., 2019; Cui et al., 2017).
By increasing the carbon price from $0 to $100 per tCO 2, deployment of PV and wind power benefits the poorest residents, with an increase in per-capita income from $29,000 to $34,400 in North China and from $29,100 to $30,600 in Northwest China.
Accordingly, this study conducts a quantitative analysis of the land use benefits of PV power stations at the provincial spatial scale in China, aiming to bridge research gap and explore the harmonization and improvement of renewable energy production while realizing land resource value.
By the middle of 2022, China’s installed capacity of PV has reached 336GW . Given the current average land use footprint of 35 W/m 2 and a goal to build 5000 GW solar PV by 2050 , the land required for PV installation will be 1.43 × 10 5 km 2, close to the area of Liaoning Province.
