The global transition towards renewable energy is rapidly accelerating, and PV, as a cornerstone of this transformation, has experienced explosive growth in recent years (Jordan et al.,2021;
Why has the cost of solar panels fallen? China''s influence. The cost of panels themselves has fallen, in part, as a result of global market forces. "A huge part of this story is China, which has been rapidly deploying solar". China''s large

The growth of fossil global energy consumption is accompanied by greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute to global warming. To cope with global climate change, the development of
Building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) is an important application of solar cells. In this paper, the experiments were conducted to test the performance of photovoltaic panels installed in

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.
According to the photovoltaic power installation distribution, the spatial-temporal characteristics of the photovoltaic power installation in China can be depicted. The photovoltaic power development stages could be classified into Full operation, Partial operation, Announced construction, Permitted construction, and Under construction.
In contrast, smaller solar power plants (<100MW) are densely scattered in areas closer to urban centers in central and eastern China, with distances ranging from 0 to 50 km, though only several small and remote solar power plants are distributed >50 km from urban areas in the southwest region of China such as Sichuan, Guizhou, and Yunnan.
To promote China's low-carbon transition, the construction of photovoltaic power stations is practical in various provinces of China. Since the photovoltaic power stations can maintain 25 years, the cumulative emission reduction potentials can be quantified to measure the contribution to low-carbon transition.
For Yunnan, Guangdong, and Hubei, the photovoltaic power installations are at low levels with neighboring provinces, showing a relatively weak regional competition pattern. In addition, the photovoltaic power installation in different stages varied at the provincial level.
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.
