By the end of 2017, China's new grid connected installed capacity of PV power generation was 53.06 GW and the cumulative installed capacity reached 130.25 GW , which is 68.7% more than the data of the year of 2016 . The cumulative installed capacity of China accounts for 33.77% of the global PV installed capacity.
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:
According to the target of the “13th Five-Year Plan on solar energy development of China” between 2016 and 2020, the installed capacity of PV power will reach 110 GW by the end of the year 2020 [6, p. 11].
By the end of 2017, the installed capacity of renewable power in China had reached 650 million kW, accounting for 36.6% of total installed capacity, including 341 million kW of hydropower (including pumped storage), 164 million kW of wind power, 130 million kW of photovoltaic power, and 15 million kW of biomass [ 9 ]. Table 1.
Especially, the cumulative installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation of Xinjiang reached 9.08 GW , which is the highest one in the northwest of China. Table 4 displays the statistics of photovoltaic power generation in the northwest of China in details.
In the year of 2017, the quantity of the solar energy curtailment was 7300 GW h in China and the rate of solar energy curtailment was about 6% . The quantity of solar energy rejection in the northwest reaches 6670 GW h , accounting for 91.4% of the total quantity of solar energy curtailment .
