With solar photovoltaics taking over recently, an in-depth look into their supply chain shows a surprising dependency on the Chinese market from the raw materials to the assembled PVs. This article tackles the main challenges in the solar energy market and sheds light on the opportunities in that industry.
The problem of PV energy curtailment appeared in 2014 in the northwest of China, and a large-scale of solar energy curtailment happened in 2015 . The problem become more serious between 2016 and 2017.
With the development of solar power technology and the rapid reduction of the cost, solar power will become more and more attractive. 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.
The data were collected from China Electricity Council , . 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].
In 2023, China commissioned as much solar PV as the entire world did in 2022 while its wind additions also grew by 66% year-on-year. Over the past five years, China also added 11 GW of nuclear power, by far the largest of any country in the world.
Some parts of the country get 2 MWh/m 2 solar irradiation and 3,000 h of sunshine per year, which is ideal for setting up solar energy parks to exploit the true potential of solar sources in the country (Kamran et al. 2019). Several scholars have analyzed the growth of solar energy in the Chinese context from various angles.
The Chinese government has demonstrated a significant commitment to the advancement of renewable energy, particularly solar energy, over the past two decades. The nation has an installed solar power capacity of 393,032 MW.
