Solar power in China

OverviewConcentrated solar powerHistorySolar resourcesSolar photovoltaicsSolar water heatingEffects on the global solar power industryGovernment incentives

China has large potential for concentrated solar power (CSP), especially in the south-western part of the country. The highest daily mean values of direct normal radiation are found in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Sichuan Basin, at 9 kWh/m2. Most of northern and western China has daily average direct normal radiation over 5 kWh/m2, considered the limit for economical use of CSP. Practical limitations for deployment
