Learn MoreLand use policy for developing PV solar farms in China. Different from most developed countries, in China, urban lands are owned by the country, and rural lands are collective ownership. For this reason, the development of PV solar farms highly relies on the land use policy introduced by the government.
By the end of 2022, China's cumulative installed PV capacity had reached 392.6 GW, with an additional installation of 87.41 GW in 2022 (National Energy Administration, 2023), ranking the first globally in terms of new installation rate. It has become the world's largest PV power market, accounting for nearly one-third of global PV installations 9.
The results of this study indicated that China, as one of the fast-growing countries in the global south, shows outstanding potential for solar PV power station installation and generation potential.
Beijing, China is a suitable location for solar PV generation, with varying average daily energy production per kW of installed solar across different seasons: 5.38 kWh in summer, 3.30 kWh in autumn, 3.03 kWh in winter, and 5.46 kWh in spring.
In China, land use is heavily regulated, with preference given to areas such as grasslands, wastelands, and deserts for PV deployment due to lower development costs. Among these, other grassland—a specific subtype of secondary land use classified as agricultural land in China—is the most frequently utilized .
In 2015, the total area of installed PV in China was 663.09 km 2, which were mainly distributed in the northwest, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, and the Yangtze River Delta region. By 2020, the total area of PV reached to 2847.36 km 2, with net increase of almost 3.3 times. Installed PV was intensified in the northwest and extended to eastern China.
