In 1989, China’s first 10 kW PV power station began operation in Tibet. In the 1990s, the Institute of Electrical Engineering at the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed and constructed an independent PV station. A few production bases were formed in the Pearl River Delta areas and China began to export various PV products.
The results can be a useful reference for the development of solar PV power industry in China and other countries. With the rapid development in the last 30 years, China's energy demand has grown at a rapid pace.
In the seedling stage (from 1980s to 1990s), the State Scientific and Technological Commission set up China Optics and Electronics Technology Centre, which started the study of monocrystalline silicon solar cells, polysilicon silicon solar cells and the application of PV systems.
Vincent Shaw considers the reasons for the nation’s solar success and the challenges ahead. From pv magazine 05/23. China is set to become the first country to install 100 GW (AC) of solar in a year. It is the world’s biggest solar market and exporter of most of the world’s PV wafers, cells, and modules.
Photovoltaic research in China began in 1958 with the development of China's first piece of monocrystalline silicon. Research continued with the development of solar cells for space satellites in 1968. The Institute of Semiconductors of the Chinese Academy of Sciences led this research for a year, stopping after batteries failed to operate.
In the germination stage (from 1958 to 1970s), the development and manufacture of the solar cells was the key goal. In 1968, an institute in Tianjin developed and manufactured the first solar cells in China using satellite technologies. In the 1970s, a few solar cell factories were set up in the cities of Shanghai, Ningbo and Kaifeng.
