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

Since 1985, China has adjusted the electricity price policies many times according to the changes of the relationship between electricity supply and demand [3]. The regulated prices were calculated based mainly on fuel price, finance cost, and operation-period of power plants or the levelized life cycle cost of energy. These regulated price mechanisms promoted the

Finally, the PV systems in different regions in China are expected to achieve grid parity between 2020 and 2032. In other words, within the next decade, grid parity of solar PV systems in China is forecasted to be achieved.
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.
According to our analysis, if electricity prices of the provinces remain unchanged, the cost of PV electricity could be reduced to 0.52–1.22 RMB/kWh by 2015, which is comparable with the grid prices in regions with large PV capacity and high electricity prices, such as Guangdong, Beijing, and Shanghai.
With addition of 48.2 GW in 2020, China’s installed capacity of solar PV rose to 253.4 GW (12), far ahead of a target of 105 GW set for 2020 in the 13th 5-y plan (17). The large-scale installation of solar power both globally and in China has promoted improvements in PV conversion efficiencies and reductions in generation costs.
