China PV Business and Applications Evaluation

    Research output: NRELSubcontract Report

    Abstract

    This report provides an overview of photovoltaics (PV) business and applications in China. Although more than 70 million people in China are without access to grid electricity, many of the unelectrified regions benefit from considerable renewable resources, including good solar insolation. Current annual PV sales are still modest, however, and are estimated to be between 2.0 and 2.5 megawatts.This and other significant PV data, including information regarding the current status of key aspects of Chinese businesses, markets, and distribution channels, are included in this report. Detailed company profiles of Chinese business organizations and summaries of visits made to these companies (as well as to more remote sites in Inner Mongolia to examine PV usage by the end-use customer) inSeptember-October 1998 are also presented.
