6 FAQs about [China s solar power generation cost standards]
How much does solar power cost in China?
In particular, in the economically developed eastern provinces (e.g. Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Guangdong etc.), the PV electricity (mainly BIPV) is 0.67–0.86 RMB/kWh. The cost of LSPV stations ranges from 0.45 to 0.75 RMB/kWh, lower than the BIPV system owing to the scale effect and the strong solar radiation.
How much solar power does China have?
In 2014, China's PV cumulative installed capacity reached 28.05 GW. Currently, supportive policies in China focus on the national level. Few of these policies consider regional difference, such as the distribution of solar radiation and economic development.
How much will PV electricity cost in China by 2015?
According to our analysis, if electricity prices of the provinces remain unchanged, the cost of PV electricity could be reduced to 0.52–1.22 RMB/kWh by 2015, which is comparable with the grid prices in regions with large PV capacity and high electricity prices, such as Guangdong, Beijing, and Shanghai.
How much solar power will China have in 2022?
The installed solar PV capacity in China increasing from 130.25 GW in 2017 to 392.61 GW in 2022 (IRENA, 2023). Moreover, at the United Nations Climate Ambition Summit, China further announced that the total installed capacity of wind and solar power will reach over 1200 GW by 2030 (The United Nations et al., 2020).
Why does China have a low solar power generation rate?
The Northeast China has lower theoretical PV power generation mainly due to the high latitude, low solar radiation and low land use, while the lower value of the East and Central China are mainly because of thicker clouds cover and higher temperature.
What are China's national goals for solar power generation?
China continues to raise its national goals for solar power generation. In 2007, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) issued its Mid- and Long-Term Plan for Renewable Energy Development, which aimed at achieving a solar power capacity of 0.3 GWp by 2010, and 1.8 GWp by 2020 and had been accomplished now.
