Combined solar power and storage as cost-competitive
Understanding technically feasible, cost-competitive, and grid-compatible solar photovoltaic (PV) power potentials spatiotemporally is critical for China''s future energy pathway.
The decline in costs for solar power and storage systems offers opportunity for solar-plus-storage systems to serve as a cost-competitive source for the future energy system in China. The transportation, building, and industry sectors account, respectively, for 15.3, 18.3, and 66.3% of final energy consumption in China (5).
Hebei, Shandong and Hunan provinces accounted for over half of such installations, many of which focus on rural villages. 58 Photovoltaic (PV) technologies dominate China's solar industry, with roughly 99% of China's solar power capacity. Chinese PV manufacturing accounts for the vast majority of global PV production.
Among alternative sources, solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation is expected to play an important role in this process in China given abundant solar resources and huge PV manufacturing capacity (7 – 10).
The dynamic spatial trajectory of cost-competitive and grid-compatible penetration potentials for solar power will be a critical determinant of the speed of energy system decarbonization in China.
Driven by a combination of limited capacity to integrate variable solar power into the local power systems of the western region and air pollution control policies that increasingly constrain coal use in eastern China, there has been an evident west-to-east shift of solar PV development in China.
Solar photovoltaic power is gaining momentum as a solution to intertwined air pollution and climate challenges in China, driven by declining capital costs and increasing technical efficiencies.
Understanding technically feasible, cost-competitive, and grid-compatible solar photovoltaic (PV) power potentials spatiotemporally is critical for China''s future energy pathway.
