Solar power in China

OverviewHistorySolar resourcesSolar photovoltaicsConcentrated solar powerSolar water heatingEffects on the global solar power industryGovernment incentives

China is the largest market in the world for both photovoltaics and solar thermal energy. China''s photovoltaic industry began by making panels for satellites, 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 world''s leading installer of photovoltaics

Assessing China''s solar power potential: Uncertainty

This study aims to estimate China''s solar PV power generation potential by following three main steps: suitable sites selection, theoretical PV power generation and total cost of the system.
