Can small-scale photovoltaic power stations be installed in China?

This study re-estimated the installed potential of centralized large-scale and distributed small-scale photovoltaic power stations in 449 prefecture-level cities in China based on a geographic information system and Google Earth Engine combined with Baidu map data and related geographic information data.

What factors were considered in selecting the areas suitable for photovoltaic power generation?

The factors considered in selecting the areas suitable for photovoltaic power generation were economy, terrain, environment for the centralized stations; illumination time, roof type, and shadow obstacles of the building for distributed systems.

Does China need a centralized and distributed photovoltaic system?

Owing to China's escalating demand for renewable energy and carbon emissions reduction, and given its prominent position as one of the fastest-growing nations in photovoltaic (PV) development, a comprehensive assessment of the potential of both centralized and distributed photovoltaic systems in China is crucial.
