By comparing the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics, regional competition patterns, and cumulative emission reduction potentials of photovoltaic power installation in China's provinces and regions, it is helpful to provide quantitative supports and feasible suggestions for the sustainable development of China's photovoltaic industry.
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.
China has already made major commitments to transitioning its energy systems towards renewables, especially power generation from solar, wind and hydro sources. However, there are many unknowns about the future of solar energy in China, including its cost, technical feasibility and grid compatibility in the coming decades.
In general, the regional distribution of photovoltaic power stations in China is quite different, and the regional competition patterns are variable. Provinces with high installed photovoltaic power stations and high regional competition are mainly located in Northwest and North China.
For Xinjiang, Tianjin, Beijing, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Shanghai, Sichuan, Shandong, and Henan, the photovoltaic power installation is lower than the surrounding provinces with a hug gap.
For Yunnan, Guangdong, and Hubei, the photovoltaic power installations are at low levels with neighboring provinces, showing a relatively weak regional competition pattern. In addition, the photovoltaic power installation in different stages varied at the provincial level.

Linking energy crises and solar energy in China: a roadmap
Fossil fuels are the primary energy sources of China, which are not only expensive but have adverse environmental impacts. To cope with this situation, the Chinese government wants to fulfil 25% of its energy consumption by non-fossil fuels by 2030. In this perspective, we selected the solar sources of the country and collected solar irradiation data …
