Shaiyang Technology Solar Power Generation

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.

What is solar power?

Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaic (PV), or indirectly using concentrated solar power (CSP). The research has been underway since very beginning for the development of an affordable, in-exhaustive and clean solar energy technology for longer term benefits.

What is the production capacity of solar panels in China?

In 2009, the production capacity of PV panels in China nearly reached 4000 MW; a remarkable increase compared with only 5.5 MW of output in 1997 . China is now the largest manufacturer of solar PV products in the world . In addition, the government is investing heavily into this field for relevant scientific research.

How did China's solar program affect the development of PV industry?

The program used a mixture of small hydro, PV, and wind power. This program significantly affected the development of the PV industry. China built several solar cell packaging lines and the production capacity of solar cell module reached 100 MW promptly .

Which solar power technologies can be used for sustainable electric power generation?

In this article, different solar power technologies have been reviewed which can be utilized for the global sustainable electric power generation. Major emphasize has been on solar photovoltaic (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP) technologies. Their types, mechanism, efficiency and cost factors have been discussed.

Why is solar technology gaining more attention in China?

Instruct and intensify relevant research in science and technology. Apart from traditional energy saving technologies, nuclear power technologies, etc., solar technology is gaining more attention in China and receiving a large sum of investments. Perfect the relevant infrastructure and redirect market trends and user preferences.
