6 FAQs about [Analysis of China s solar power generation costs]
How much does solar power cost in China?
In particular, in the economically developed eastern provinces (e.g. Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Guangdong etc.), the PV electricity (mainly BIPV) is 0.67–0.86 RMB/kWh. The cost of LSPV stations ranges from 0.45 to 0.75 RMB/kWh, lower than the BIPV system owing to the scale effect and the strong solar radiation.
Does China have a price threshold for solar power?
The cost of solar PV electricity generation is affected by many local factors, making it a challenge to understand whether China has reached the threshold at which a grid-connected solar PV system supplies electricity to the end user at the same price as grid-supplied power or the price of desulfurized coal electricity, or even lower.
How much will PV electricity cost in China by 2015?
According to our analysis, if electricity prices of the provinces remain unchanged, the cost of PV electricity could be reduced to 0.52–1.22 RMB/kWh by 2015, which is comparable with the grid prices in regions with large PV capacity and high electricity prices, such as Guangdong, Beijing, and Shanghai.
Does China have a solar PV potential?
Similarly, some researchers have previously estimated China's solar PV potential. Yu et al. (2023) utilized multi-criteria decision mode and random forest algorithm to calculate China's large-scale and distributed solar PV power generation potentials in prefecture-level cities.
Why do solar energy research results vary a lot in China?
The results of such analyses would likely vary considerably because solar energy radiation intensity, the scale of PV applications, and associated costs would differ significantly between regions in China.
Why does China have a low solar power generation rate?
The Northeast China has lower theoretical PV power generation mainly due to the high latitude, low solar radiation and low land use, while the lower value of the East and Central China are mainly because of thicker clouds cover and higher temperature.
