The photovoltaic industry has the opportunity to develop rapidly in China, and its solar power capacity already accounted for 35% of the world''s total in 2020. However, solar power generation had only reached 3.4% of total power generation and 10.7% of renewable energy power generation by 2020 (China Electricity Council 2021).

As the electricity in China is mainly provided by coal-fired power generation, supply-side grid parity suggests that the cost of PV systems should be competitive with the cost of coal-fired electricity. Here we used the coal-fired power generation electricity price as the benchmark when analyzing the supply-side grid parity. To analyze the grid

Solar power is vital for China''s future energy pathways to achieve the goal of 2060 carbon neutrality. Previous studies have suggested that China''s solar energy resource potential surpass the projected nationwide power demand in 2060, yet the uncertainty quantification and cost competitiveness of such resource potential are less studied.
China''s solar power generation reached nearly approximately 584 terawatt hours in 2023.
Unlike solar PV, CSP is very cost-sensitive to scale and favors large-scale power generation (generally ≥50 MW) to minimize energy production costs which requires relatively large capital investments and financial risks (partly due to the relatively greater technical complexity of the technology) that not everyone can take up. In the early commercialization of CSP, adding
This study aims to estimate China''s solar PV power generation potential by following three main steps: suitable sites selection, theoretical PV power generation and total cost of the system. Firstly, we employed three exclusion criteria (protected areas, surface slope and land use) to eliminate unsuitable areas for the installation of China''s
An investment decision analysis method is presented about the cost of electricity per kilowatt hour through analyzing several parameters, such as the whole life cycle of installed costs, the annually effective utilization hours, the loan interest rates, the feed-in tariff, the income tax rate, and the subsidized electricity prices of the DPPP.

This stability is largely due to the anticipated continued decline of solar costs. by 2060, the projected investment and OM costs for solar are expected to decrease to approximately 288 (±101) US dollars /kW and 0.004 (±0.001) US dollars/kWh, making it the most economically predictable among all power generation technologies.
1. Introduction. China''s government is increasingly promoting the deployment of renewable energy technologies in order to cope with the country''s rising electricity demand and the increasing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from fossil-fueled power plants.
3. Generation CEF forecasts: •China''s electricity demand will keep climbing to 11,672.9TWh in 2030, a 31% increase from 2023, and reach 15,855TWh by 2040, a 78%

To estimate the grid parity of China''s PV power generation, as shown in Fig. 12, the future cost of PV power generation in five cities is forecast based on the predicted PV installed capacity from 2015 to 2050 and the learning curve equations (Table 5). 2 From a perspective of technological innovation, market diffusion of PV technologies can be divided into three stages,
This study aims to estimate China''s solar PV power generation potential by following three main steps: suitable sites selection, theoretical PV power generation and total cost of the system.
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.
To reduce this financial gap and manage the decrease of PV costs, the Chinese government published the Notice on matters of PV power generation in 2018, which is referred to as the “531” policy, reducing the subsidies for PV from 0.36 CNY/kWh to 0.32 CNY/kWh.
Although not all the PV projects are included in our dataset, the electricity generation of the projects in this dataset reaches 351.19 GWh, accounting for 53.1% of the total PV electricity generation in China; the installed capacity of these projects is 26.14 GW p, accounting for 33.8% of the total PV installed capacity in China.
According to the report of the International Energy Agency (IEA), by 2040, the electricity generated from PV systems in China will account for 13.2% in the stated policies scenario and 23.4% in the sustainable development scenario. As a result, PV will play a more important role in the future electricity system in China.
According to our results, approximately 78.6 % and 99.9 % of China's technical solar PV potential are priced lower than the benchmark price of coal-fired energy in pessimistic and optimistic scenario.
Since 2009, the Chinese government has taken a series of measures to promote solar PV installation in China. In March 2009, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development initiated the first national PV program to subsidize BIPV systems larger than 50 kWp with 0.2 RMB/Wp (equivalent to 0.12–0.20 RMB/kWh).
