Northwest China (e.g., Ningxia, Qinghai, Tibet) demonstrates extremely high photovoltaic power generation potential, whereas southeastern regions, particularly those with higher urbanization levels, exhibit lower suitability due to factors such as land and climate.
Eastern, southern, and northeastern China have relatively low levels of solar radiation. Southern and western China maintain high and stable photovoltaic power generation potential. Based on the comprehensive weight calculations, the suitability of different regions in China for photovoltaic power generation was analyzed.
Discussion: The findings emphasize the critical need to prioritize photovoltaic development in Northwest China, where favorable conditions offer considerable potential for large-scale photovoltaic generation. These regions possess rich solar resources and extensive land suitability, making them optimal for photovoltaic power station construction.
Clear spatial dislocations between PV power generation potential and population distribution and electricity demand. Accurate assessment of the photovoltaic (PV) power generation potential in China is important for the reduction of carbon emission intensity and the achievement of the goal of Carbon Neutral.

The spatial distribution characteristics of PV power generation potential mainly showed a downward trend from northwest to southeast. Meanwhile, there were clear spatial dislocations between the
China, as the world''s third-largest country in terms of land area, is blessed with abundant solar resources. This advantage has positioned China as a major player in the global solar photovoltaic power
The findings indicate a significant positive correlation between PV power generation and regional GDP, with clear regional heterogeneity. In developed regions, the association is stronger, while in less
On the whole, the western region covers a large area with sufficient solar radiation, while the eastern region has greater photovoltaic power generation potential because of its available roof resources.
Solar PV Global Supply Chains - Analysis and key findings. A report by the International Energy Agency.
The potential for electricity generation from solar photovoltaic sources in most countries dwarfs their current electricity demand. Policymakers and investors often wonder whether the PV power potential in
The Global Solar Atlas provides a summary of solar power potential and solar resources globally. It is provided by the World Bank Group as a free service to governments, developers and the general public,
Areas with higher PV power generation potential, characterized by ample solar radiation and clear sky, tend to experience low or medium-intensity events more frequently, whereas areas with poorer
The China PV Industry Development Roadmap (2024-2025) covers various aspects of the photovoltaic (PV) industry chain, including 76 key indicators such as polysilicon, PV cells and new energy
