6 FAQs about [Solar power stations across China]

How many PV power stations are there in China?

“According to our dataset, China has a total of 2,467.7 km2 ground-mounted PV power stations in 2020. The top three largest provinces refer to Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, and Qinghai, whose PV area ratios are 14.92%, 12.49%, and 11.26%, respectively, with a total of nearly 40% of all the PV power stations in China,” the academics explained.

How big is China's ground-mounted solar power station?

The tool shows China ground mounted solar facilities occupied a surface of 2,467.7 km2 at the end of December 2020. Scientists led by the China Agricultural University have created a national-scale map and dataset of ground-mounted PV power stations in China.

Which land is used for PV power stations in China?

Fig. 1 Examples of PV power stations in China. The land used for PV power stations includes gobi (left), grassland (top), water bodies (right), mountain land (bottom), etc. The objective of this study is to provide the first publicly released 10-m national map of ground-mounted PV power stations of China in 2020.

How many ground-mounted PV power stations are there in China?

According to our dataset, China has a total of 2467.7 km 2 ground-mounted PV power stations in 2020. The top three largest provinces refer to Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and Qinghai, whose PV area ratio are 14.92%, 12.49% and 11.26%, respectively, with a total of nearly 40% of all the PV power stations of China.

Does China have a spatial map of PV power stations?

Although some researchers released several PV power station maps, most only met a medium resolution of 30 meters 9, 10. There thus still lacks a national map of China’s PV power stations with a higher spatial resolution (i.e., 10 meters) that could provide a global understanding of PV’s spatial deployment patterns.

Where are photovoltaic power stations located in China?

The installed capacities of China's photovoltaic power stations equal and above 50 MW are unevenly distributed, as presented in Fig. 1. As for geographical distribution, the photovoltaic power stations over 50 MW are mainly located in Qinghai, Ningxia, Guizhou, Gansu, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia, and Hebei.
