Wuhan University High-tech Solar Photovoltaic Power Generation

Is rooftop photovoltaic power generation possible in China?

The eastern region has great accumulated photovoltaic electricity potential, which is 3.21 times that of the western region. Rooftop photovoltaic system plays an important role in solar energy power generation especially in urban. In this paper, we present an assessment method for the PV power generation potential of rooftop in China.

Which type of photovoltaic power generation has the highest potential?

The photovoltaic power generation potential of type A-1, A-2, A-3, B-1, show a large span in its samples, and the highest photovoltaic power generation appeared in type B-1, which can product 9.44 GWh a year. And the type A-1, A-2, A-3 also show the high potential. Fig. 9.

What is a high-resolution solar photovoltaic potential map of China?

A high-resolution solar photovoltaic potential map of China utilizes the open dataset and one novel neural network model. The data are stated by provinces and cities showing the regional differences. The rooftop photovoltaic generation will be closed to half of the electricity generation of China mainland in 2020.

How to assess PV power generation potential of rooftop in China?

In this paper, we present an assessment method for the PV power generation potential of rooftop in China. Using machine learning model processes the big data that consists of the gross domestic product, building footprint, road length and population, at a high geographic resolution of 10 km by 10 km.

How many GWP is a residential photovoltaic development potential in China?

According to the data of the sixth population census, the China Academy of Building Research concludes that the theoretical residential photovoltaic development potential is 1000 GWp in China (Anon, 2022b).

How much electricity does China's photovoltaic project generate a year?

The project is estimated to generate around 650 million kWh of electricity per year. In April 2023, the initial phase of the offshore pile-based fixed photovoltaic projects in Shandong Province, China, was formally contracted.
