Other solar projects will be allocated a guaranteed amount of 500 hours of operation, with a total of 17.6 TWh. Apart from solar, the priority generation includes wind power (24.88 TWh), hydropower (23.86 TWh), and biomass and resource utilization (4.04 TWh).
China is leading that growth: it ranks first since 2015 in both installed capacity and power generation. By 2017, China had 130 gigawatts of solar PV to the grid—nearly six times the capacity of the Three Gorges hydroelectric plant, the largest in the world. Furthermore, the nation achieved its 2020 goal for solar two years ahead of schedule.
As China has the world's largest installed capacity of solar energy, the development of the solar power generation in China will have a profound impact on the healthy development of the global solar power industry. Based on the China's experience, the following suggestions are given for the other countries:
By the end of 2017, China's new grid connected installed capacity of PV power generation was 53.06 GW and the cumulative installed capacity reached 130.25 GW, which is 68.7% more than the data of the year of 2016 . The cumulative installed capacity of China accounts for 33.77% of the global PV installed capacity.
In the year of 2017, the quantity of the solar energy curtailment was 7300 GW h in China and the rate of solar energy curtailment was about 6% . The quantity of solar energy rejection in the northwest reaches 6670 GW h, accounting for 91.4% of the total quantity of solar energy curtailment .
China has abundant solar energy resources, mainly distributed in the arid regions of plateau and the Western China [7, p. 3]. The annual average radiation level is 1050–2450 kW h/m 2 in these regions with 96% of area over 1050 kW h/m 2[17, p. 36]. Fig. 1 describes the distribution of total solar radiation on the horizontal surface in China.
So there is a lot of uncertainty in the Chinese solar industry, but there are also irrefutable facts: China needs to continue to expand domestic solar capacity to reach its climate target. Similarly, global demand for PV products will not cease.
