Solar
Solar energy is the conversion of sunlight into usable energy forms. Solar photovoltaics (PV), solar thermal electricity and solar heating and cooling are well established solar technologies.
Power generation from solar PV increased by a record 320 TWh in 2023, up by 25% on 2022. Solar PV accounted for 5.4% of total global electricity generation, and it remains the third largest renewable electricity technology behind hydropower and wind.
Nevertheless, policies on photovoltaic power generation have been mainly formulated by a single department: the National Development and Reform Commission or the National Energy Administration. In addition, as shown in Fig. 1, before 2009, there were no multiple departments formulating or issuing policies without synergy between departments.
Table S1. Policies on PV power generation This work was supported by Key Projects of the National Social Science Fund of China in 2022 [Grant Numbers: 22azd095]. Zhaotian Chong: Conceptualization, Methodology, Investigation, Formal analysis, Supervision, Writing – original draft.
1. Introduction Photovoltaic power generation plays an important role in renewable energy and directly affects energy transition and sustainable development (Han et al., 2022). It is inextricably linked to policy support for its development path, as photovoltaic power generation has started late and is not yet technologically mature.

Development of large-scale industrial and commercial distributed photovoltaic power generation is restricted to one''s own consumption
Dual-use applications such as agrivoltaics, floating PV, and infrastructure-integrated PV are becoming increasingly relevant, helping balance land use, food production, and renewable energy generation.
October 10, the National Energy Board Comprehensive Division on the public solicitation of "distributed photovoltaic power generation development and construction management measures (draft)" notice
China''s installed capacity of solar power generation in the first five months increased by 52.2 percent year-on-year, according to the NEA.
Chinese Generation Capacity Additions by Source In 2024, solar contributed 267 GWac (309–357 GWdc), or 64% of new generation capacity, in China, and cumulative solar capacity

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are a third-generation solar cell technology that has been attracting extensive attention in recent years due to their rapidly boosted power conversion efficiency
In the tide of China''s energy transition, distributed photovoltaic (PV) power generation is assuming an increasingly crucial role. As technological progress and market development continue,
Beginning with the 2024 PV forecast, the ISO''s methodology includes use of the Distributed Generation Market Demand Model (dGenTM), an agent-based simulation that was developed and open-sourced
