Coupled with the traffic flow model, the available solar radiation of roadway network was obtained, which could be applied for solar road laying planning and road photovoltaic production analysis. Later in 2021, the authors proposed an innovative predictive model to assess the potential of photovoltaic roads in China [102] .
Results show that EPVI can not only highlight the salience of PV pixels but can also effectively suppress the confusion of non-PV pixels to improve mapping accuracy. In 2020, the total area of China''s PV power stations was estimated as 2635.64 km 2, achieving an overall accuracy of 0.9756 and a Kappa coefficient of 0.9394.

Photovoltaic (PV) technologies – more commonly known as solar panels – generate power using devices that absorb energy from sunlight and convert it into electrical energy through semiconducting materials. These devices, known as solar cells, are then connected to form larger power-generating units known as modules or panels.

Solar energy is the result of the nuclear fusion process that takes place in the sun. This energy is the engine that drives our environment, with the solar energy that reaches the Earth''s surface being 10,000 times greater than the energy currently consumed by all of humanity.. Radiation is the transfer of energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation.
A solar project phase is generally defined as a group of one or more solar units that are installed under one permit, one power purchase agreement, and typically come online at the same time. Each solar farm included in the tracker is linked to a wiki page on the GEM wiki. The most recent release of this data was in June 2024.
Based on the mapping results, the PV power generation was calculated to be 238.65 TWh, which is equivalent to reducing coal consumption by 72.77 million tons and carbon emissions by 149.63 million tons.
A possible explanation is that for the same construction area, the higher the latitude, the higher the mounting inclination of PV modules and the subsequent increase of array spacing, and the smaller the PV module area usable for receiving solar radiation.
