Over recent decades, China has risen to a preeminent global position in both solar photovoltaic (PV) adoption and production, a feat underpinned by a suite of pivotal policy measures. With a burgeoning demand for PV systems on the horizon, there is an urgent need to reassess past policies and chart new directions.
To alleviate the curtailment of solar power, since 2016, the Chinese central government enforced minimal generating hours of solar power for those provinces with large solar capacities . This is another kind of command-and-control regulation.
As for distributed solar power, there are two utilization models: (A) self-consumption and selling surplus to the grid; and (B) selling all solar generations to the grid. To reduce the costs of transmission and distribution (such as transmission loss), model A is more encouraged by the Chinese government.
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.
The measures came as a way to promote the healthier development of China's fast-developing PV industry, which has already made new breakthroughs in the past year, setting records in annual new installations, new distributed PV installations, total solar power installations and PV exports, said the China Photovoltaic Industry Association.
Abstract: The Chinese Government has issued numerous regulations that significantly affect the number of photovoltaic (PV) installations in the country and the subsidies for their use.
