Solar power generation capacity up to 50 GW by 2020

On December 12, at the opening ceremony of the 2012 annual meeting of the China International Cooperation Committee for Environment and Development held in Beijing, Li Keqiang, vice premier of the State Council and the China International Cooperation and Development Committee on Environment and Development, stated: “About the prediction of installed solar power generation in China in 2020 The current position from the top official level is 50 GW.

China's photovoltaic industry, which accounts for 50% of the world's production capacity, exported 90% of its products to Europe before last year. After Europe and the United States set up trade barriers for Chinese PV products, the opening of China's domestic PV application market was regarded as the key to the rescue of China's PV companies. Distributed PV installation applications are highly expected.

China National Renewable Energy Society Photovoltaic Committee Secretary-General Wu reached the 3rd SOLARZOOM General Assembly and Innosolar Power Station New Model and Distributed Photovoltaic Power Generation Summit held in Shanghai. The government is drawing photovoltaic applications through multiple projects, among which, only distributed Photovoltaic power generation may exceed 20 GW by 2015, and the cumulative installed capacity in 2015 is expected to reach 40 GW.

Wu reached an estimate that the installed capacity of photovoltaic systems in the next five years and ten years will greatly exceed the current total goals.

Li Keqiang said at the above annual meeting that “simultaneously promoting industrialization, urbanization, informationization, and agricultural modernization bears enormous potential for domestic demand. The new industrialization and urbanization that we want to achieve must be the industrialization and urbanization of ecological civilization. Breeding a market with unlimited prospects has given birth to a huge ecosystem."
