Achievements of PV in China
No.1 country in production of PV cells and modules, 40% of global
production.
Advanced technology in commercial manufacturing of silicon cells,
high efficiency and low cost.
Rural Electrification by use of PV
Half of multi-silicon supplied domestically, will balance between
demand and supply,
supply after 11-22 years.
years
1000 stand-alone PV stations in operation in remote areas of China,
and 500 thousand of household PV system in use for 2 million
population.
10 large-scale PV grid-connected stations have been put into
operation, and 200 BIPV have been installed.
By 2009, total installed capacity of PV in China is 300MW, and
about 500MW is in construction.

 Planning Target and Outlook to 2020 Suggestion for highlights of development of
PV market and industry in Asia
The total capacity will be 20GW, average installation per year 3GW Steadily growing market in Asia, coordinating policies to keep the
common market growth.
In which, building-integrated, 5GW, mostly in public buildings,
factory buildings. Driving cost down through economic of scale and technology
innovation.
large scale PV station, 12GW, in desert areas with best solar
large-scale
resources. Uniform standards for PV products, and code for on-grid; testing
and certification for quality grantee.
Off-grid PV for people without electricity access, industrial: 1GW
Capability building in design and engineering for BIPV and large-
CSP capacity will be 1GW scale PV stations
If the grid parity comes early, before 2020, the growth will speed up. Full industry chain in Asia, including silicon material, processing
equipment and other materials
Education and training for professions, mostly for technical workers
