There are few studies on the criteria that should be used when identifying sites for solar energy installations (large grid-connected photovoltaic systems which have more than 100 kWp of installed capacity). It is therefore essential to change the way site selection processes are approached and to seek new methodologies for location analysis.
Next, using GISs for these areas, technical and environmental criteria were applied to identify the areas with high potential for solar power plants. To carry out this process, it was necessary to find adequate thematic layers and cartography concerning the exclusion criteria.
In the long run, the establishment of large-scale photovoltaic power stations in various provinces is subject to the levels of clean energy consumption in the region and the coordination of power grids between different provinces and regions.
To promote China's low-carbon transition, the construction of photovoltaic power stations is practical in various provinces of China. Since the photovoltaic power stations can maintain 25 years, the cumulative emission reduction potentials can be quantified to measure the contribution to low-carbon transition.
Conclusions In this study, a new enhanced PV index (EPVI) was proposed for mapping national-scale PV power stations, and an evaluation process of module area calibration, power generation calculation, and carbon reduction estimation was constructed to quantify the carbon reduction benefits of existing PV power stations across China in 2020.
According to the photovoltaic power installation distribution, the spatial-temporal characteristics of the photovoltaic power installation in China can be depicted. The photovoltaic power development stages could be classified into Full operation, Partial operation, Announced construction, Permitted construction, and Under construction.
