Get a quoteThis analysis supported conclusions related to PV power application policies in China. Based on the degree of the government's attention on PV development and the number of policies, four stages were defined: start-up, growth, explosion, and recession. Currently, the government shows concerns about the direction and development of the market.
Drawing on the policy classification approaches of Rothwell and Zegveld and the International Energy Agency (IEA), the PV power generation policies were counted and are listed in Table B1 in the supplementary data ( Rothwell and Zegveld, 1985; IRENA, 2018 ).
Traditionally, solar power endowment and capacity factor are usually the most important factors when selecting suitable land for solar PV construction . However, as China’s solar PV will replace fossil fuels on a large scale in the future, the land resource constraints will play a significant role in the expansion of solar power.
In the context of large-scale solar power deployment, increasing the actual solar PV generation and reducing the gap to their technical potential will increase the land-use efficiency and take better advantage of limited land resources.
First, PV will gradually withdraw on agricultural land. In the face of the strictest arable land protection system, PV project development should avoid competing with food and other crops for light sources, and comply with the national guarantee of arable land retention and permanent basic farmland requirements.
In the three regions, a large part of the total built-up area (urban and solar land) will consist of solar PV panels or CSP heliostats by 2050 if at least half of the produced electricity comes from solar power. Land for solar would amount to over 50% of the current EU urban land, over 85% for India, and over 75% in Japan and South-Korea.
