What are the major solar power technologies currently available in China?

The major solar power technology currently available is the solar PV system, in which sunlight is directly converted into electricity via photovoltaic effect. The PV industry in China entered its period of rapid development during the 21st century because of the significant increase in global demand for PV products.

How did China's solar program affect the development of PV industry?

The program used a mixture of small hydro, PV, and wind power. This program significantly affected the development of the PV industry. China built several solar cell packaging lines and the production capacity of solar cell module reached 100 MW promptly .

Where is solar power generated in China?

Most of China's solar power is generated within its western provinces and is transferred to other regions of the country. In 2011, China owned the largest solar power plant in the world at the time, the Huanghe Hydropower Golmud Solar Park, which had a photovoltaic capacity of 200 MW.

When did solar PV start in China?

During the 1980s, China introduced several photovoltaic (PV) cell production lines from the United States, Canada, and other countries, which eventually formed the solar PV industry in China . By the end of the 1990s, a number of component packaging plants were built.

How big is photovoltaic power generation in China?

According to data released by the National Energy Administration, the cumulative total installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation in China in 2020 was 253GW, a year-on-year increase of 23.8%. As photovoltaics gradually enter the era of parity and 14-five-year plan, the installed capacity will show a more rapid growth trend.

How big is China's photovoltaic capacity in 2020?

In 2020, China's newly installed grid-connected photovoltaic capacity reached 48.2GW, a year-on-year increase of 60.1%, of which the installed capacity of centralized photovoltaic power plants was 32.7GW, a year-on-year increase of 82.68%; the installed capacity of distributed photovoltaic power plants was 15.5GW, a year-on-year increase of 27.04%.
