Achieving energy transformation: Metal intensity for the

Herein, we consider different scenarios for the latest Chinese solar PV roadmaps and mature photovoltaic sub-technologies that may dominate. We estimate metal intensities, supply material risks, end-of-life photovoltaic modules, energy intensity, and costs associated with deploying PV panels and analyze dynamic processes from 2000 to 2060

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
