China's newly installed photovoltaic capacity has ranked first in the world in recent years. Timely and accurate monitoring of the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of solar power plants is essential to optimize China's renewable energy power distribution and achieve carbon reduction targets.
According to data released by the National Energy Administration, the cumulative total installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation in China in 2020 was 253GW, a year-on-year increase of 23.8%. As photovoltaics gradually enter the era of parity and 14-five-year plan, the installed capacity will show a more rapid growth trend.
In general, the regional distribution of photovoltaic power stations in China is quite different, and the regional competition patterns are variable. Provinces with high installed photovoltaic power stations and high regional competition are mainly located in Northwest and North China.
In addition, the total installed photovoltaic capacities in Southwest and South China are relatively low, while the competitive patterns of photovoltaic power installation in Northeast China, including Heilongjiang and Liaoning provinces are becoming increasingly obvious.
In 2020, China's newly installed grid-connected photovoltaic capacity reached 48.2GW, a year-on-year increase of 60.1%, of which the installed capacity of centralized photovoltaic power plants was 32.7GW, a year-on-year increase of 82.68%; the installed capacity of distributed photovoltaic power plants was 15.5GW, a year-on-year increase of 27.04%.
