is the largest market in the world for both and. China's photovoltaic industry began by making panels for, and transitioned to the manufacture of domestic panels in the late 1990s. After substantial government incentives were introduced in 2011, China's solar power market grew dramatically: the country became the.
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.
The PV power plants in eastern and central China mainly established on croplands (24.6%) and the occupation of croplands presents a significant reduction of 48% from 2017 to 2022.
With the PV module degradation rate considered during evaluation, the power generation capacity of China's PV power stations in 2020 was calculated to be 238.65 TWh.
China's total PV power station area in 2020 was estimated as 2635.64 km 2. China's PV power generation in 2020 was calculated to be 238.65 TWh. This power amount is equivalent to reducing carbon emissions by 149.63 million tons. Evaluation results favor Sustainable Development Goals and carbon neutrality.
China's rapid deployment of solar photovoltaic (PV) power plants has positioned it as the global leader in cumulative installed capacity. The expansion patterns of PV power plants in China play a crucial role in promoting PV diffusion in markets, shaping policies, and analyzing environmental and social impacts.
To address these issues, this study proposed a novel enhanced PV index (EPVI) for mapping PV power stations across China, and the mapping results were further applied for the evaluation of carbon reduction benefits.
