This study aims to estimate China's solar PV power generation potential by following three main steps: suitable sites selection, theoretical PV power generation and total cost of the system.
This study used a PV power generation potential assessment system based on Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods to investigate the PV power generation potential in China.
Among them, 365GW of wind power and 393GW of solar power. In 2022, China's new PV installation was 87.41GW(AC), up 59.3% year-on-year. Among them, utility PV installed 36.3GW, up 41.8% year-on-year while distributed PV installed 51.1GW, up 74.5% year-on-year.
The total capacity potential of China in 2015 is 78.46 TW, while the installed capacity in operation is only 43.18 GWh in the same period. The installed capacity of most provinces in China accounts for no more than 1% of the capacity potential, especially in the PV potential-rich areas.
Similarly, some researchers have previously estimated China's solar PV potential. Yu et al. (2023) utilized multi-criteria decision mode and random forest algorithm to calculate China's large-scale and distributed solar PV power generation potentials in prefecture-level cities.
By then, wind and PV power installations will exceed coal power, with an installed capacity of 30-40%, becoming the first major power source. The share of wind and PV power generation will reach 17-25%. China's new PV installations are forecast to reach 150-180GW in 2023.

The feasibility of installing solar energy systems in historic buildings is a significant finding, which is demonstrated by the case study of St. Nicholas Church. This integration shows that renewable energy solutions can be implemented in heritage sites with sensitivity and respect for their historical significance.
The measured and simulated energy consumption of the house after retrofit are compared. The energy consumption of space heating and cooling is simulated as 9556 kWh and the actual energy consumption is 9100.85 kWh.
Compared with the energy consumption before retrofit as depicted in Fig. 4, the highest monthly energy consumption reduces from 4500 kWh to less than 2500 kWh. The lowest value reduces to less than 500 kWh. So, the retrofit solution results in significant energy savings. Fig. 13.
The framework starts with the estimation of the maximum available solar resource in local area and adopts two criteria (1) maximum potential supported thermal load and (2) simulated energy consumption to achieve the design objective that realizes the balance energy production and energy consumption of building energy systems.
