6 FAQs about [Sinocrystalline Photovoltaic Solar Power Generation]
How does crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar power production impact the environment?
The SoG-Si production process accounted for more than 35% of total energy consumption and GHG emissions. The environmental impacts of grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) power generation from crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar modules in China have been investigated using life cycle assessment (LCA). The life cycle inventory was first analyzed.
Why are only crystalline silicon PV systems used in China?
Because of its dominant role in the global and Chinese PV market, only crystalline silicon (including mono-Si and multi-Si) PV systems were considered. Though more than 90% of Chinese PV modules depend on international markets , , , only those PV systems produced and installed in China were considered.
Will China develop solar photovoltaic power generation vigorously?
According to the national development strategy, China will develop solar photovoltaic power generation vigorously. Large-scale development of solar photovoltaic requires a lot of financial support, thus, how to achieve development goals with minimum cost is a meaningful study and can provide practical significance for policy studies.
Is crystalline silicon the future of solar technology?
Except for niche applications (which still constitute a lot of opportunities), the status of crystalline silicon shows that a solar technology needs to go over 22% module efficiency at a cost below US$0.2 W −1 within the next 5 years to be competitive on the mass market.
What are the major solar power technologies currently available in China?
The major solar power technology currently available is the solar PV system, in which sunlight is directly converted into electricity via photovoltaic effect. The PV industry in China entered its period of rapid development during the 21st century because of the significant increase in global demand for PV products.
Does China have a solar PV system?
New and cumulative installed capacities of China's solar PV power from 2000 to 2017. In order to effectively coordinate the scale and speed of the solar PV installation with the economic development, China has occasionally set and adjusted the development targets for solar PV power.
