As China has the world's largest installed capacity of solar energy, the development of the solar power generation in China will have a profound impact on the healthy development of the global solar power industry. Based on the China's experience, the following suggestions are given for the other countries:
Solar photovoltaic (PV) power is a new and green energy source. China has significant opportunities for solar energy utilization with its huge solar resource. The solar PV power in China has developed for 50 years, and experienced a rapid progress in the last 10 years.
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.
Solar energy in the transitioning of energy system (adapted from ). Currently, the market problem is considered to be the main obstacle that hinders the development of the PV industry in China. The country's domestic demand has lagged behind its expansion of manufacturing capacity.
In order to develop economically by sustaining its own energy demand without harming the environment, the Chinese government has the incentive to support the development of solar power generation. China started research on solar cells in 1958, which were first applied on the satellite Dongfanghong no. 2 in 1971.
The first terrestrial application was in 1973 (the 15 Wp solar-powered navigation light in Tianjin Harbor). 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 .
