Is distributed generation the future of solar PV in China?

Distributed generation is the future of solar PV in China, with 48GW expected to be deployed next year in the country, according to Frank Haugwitz, director of Europe Asia Clean Energy Advisory Company. The comments were made during a ROTH Capital webinar on upstream manufacturing, technology and the industry’s outlook in China.

Does China have a strong share of distributed solar PV?

China has a strong share of distributed solar PV, with close to 225 GW out of 536 GW, reflecting a diverse and robust deployment and bringing affordable clean electricity alongside greater energy independence.

Why is China developing distributed solar photovoltaics?

Development of distributed solar photovoltaics mainly benefited from the incentive policies in China. Currently the cost of PV power generation is still higher than traditional energy sources. China's PV industry is incapable of competing in the energy market without policy intervention.

How much electricity does distributed solar PV generate in China?

Distributed solar PV generated13.7 terawatt-hours of electricity in 2017, enough to power all the households in Beijing for 7.5 months. The accumulated installed capacity of distributed solar PV now accounts for 27.1 percent of China’s total solar PV installation.

Where is distributed solar PV installed in China?

Distributed solar PV has been installed mainly ineast and south China, where the country’s economy is most prosperous and demand for power is greatest. About 52 percent of capacity is in four provinces: Zhejiang, Shandong, Jiangsu and Anhui. There are four main reasons that distributed solar PV is growing faster than ever: 1. National Targets

What is China's Solar Resource Status?

China's solar resource status. Source . China's distributed PV power generation is mainly distributed in the central and eastern region where the power load is concentrated. To promote distributed PV application, government makes most of the efforts in building distributed PV demonstration industrial parks under planning and management.
