At the end of 2014, China's installed grid-connected photovoltaic power generation capacity stood at 28.05 million kw, 400 times that of 2005. Over the past decade, China's photovoltaic industry has grown at an astonishing rate and has now become the world's largest market for photovoltaic applications. The rise of the photovoltaic industry has become an important force supporting China's economic growth, and has also made great contributions to China's and the world's response to climate change.
Statistics show that in 2014, China's installed capacity of hydropower reached 300 million kilowatts, 2.57 times that of 2005. The installed capacity of grid-connected wind power reached 95.81 million kw, 90 times that of 2005. Nuclear power capacity reached 1,988 megawatts, 2.9 times that of 2005. There is no doubt that photovoltaic power generation has become the fastest growing clean energy technology.
The rapid development of photovoltaic power generation has brought about immediate environmental effects. Since 2013, China has become the world's largest newly added photovoltaic application market. By the end of 2014, China's cumulative grid-connected installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation was 28.05 million kw, ranking the second in the world. The annual generating capacity is about 25 billion KWH, with a year-on-year growth of more than 200%.
According to statistics, each kilowatt-hour of electricity consumes about 0.4 kg of standard coal, emits 0.272 kg of carbon dust, 0.997 kg of carbon dioxide, 0.03 kg of sulfur dioxide and 0.015 kg of nitrogen oxide. The 25 billion kilowatt-hours of photovoltaic power generation will save 10 billion kilograms of standard coal and 32.85 billion kilograms of pollutants, greatly contributing to energy conservation and emission reduction.
Such achievements have not come easily in the face of weak global economic recovery and a sharp decline in photovoltaic installations in major European and American countries. With the support of a number of national photovoltaic policies, China's photovoltaic industry has been recovering continuously since 2014 after the same initial stage of difficulties
