Concentrated solar power (CSP) is a promising solar thermal power technology that can participate in power systems'' peak shaving and frequency support [4], [5] pared with solar photovoltaics (PV), wind power, and other power technologies with strong output fluctuation, CSP can integrate a large-capacity heat storage system to ensure smooth power generation

Assessing China''s solar power potential: Uncertainty

This study aims to estimate China''s solar PV power generation potential by following three main steps: suitable sites selection, theoretical PV power generation and total cost of the system. Firstly, we employed three exclusion criteria (protected areas, surface slope and land use) to eliminate unsuitable areas for the installation of China''s solar PV plants. Subsequently, we

The COVID-19 pandemic and energy transitions: Evidence

It was found that the COVID-19 pandemic increased the low-carbon power generation by 4.59% (0.0648 billion kWh), mainly driven by solar and wind power generation, especially solar power generation. Heterogeneous effects indicate that the pandemic has accelerated the transition of the power generation mix and the primary energy mix from carbon

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
