Energy policies are the main factor driving the rapid development of PV power stations in China . Since 2004, PV production in China has experienced tremendous growth due to the dramatic increase in demand for PV in European countries. To promote the domestic deployment of PV, China launched a national solar subsidy program in 2009 [36, 37].
To achieve carbon peaking and carbon neutrality in China, photovoltaic (PV) power generation has become increasingly important for promoting a low-carbon transition. The central and western desert areas of China have been identified as major areas for the construction of large PV bases.
Since solar energy has naturally high availability and relatively low negative impacts on the environment [3, 4], PV power generation has become an important way for China to promote energy transformation, protect the ecological environment, mitigate climate change, and achieve the goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality [5, 6].
China’s PV power station construction has ranked first in the world for many years. The new and cumulatively installed PV capacity of China will account for more than one-third of the total installed global wind power PV capacity by 2022 .
In the past decade, approximately 17 % of the world's photovoltaic capacity has been installed in China, especially in the northwestern desert areas.
These findings may help government policymakers and practitioners make decisions on PV power station planning and ecological environment protection, thus contributing promptly to the achievement of China’s dual carbon goals. 1. Introduction
