In the first three quarters of 2017, the installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation in the country exploded. In the first three quarters, the national grid-connected solar power generation totaled 83.7 billion kWh, a year-on-year increase of 70.9%.

 

In the third quarter, the photovoltaic power generation in each region has been improved to varying degrees. The installed capacity of photovoltaic grid-connected power in the country was 120.42 million kWh, an increase of 18.3% from the previous quarter. Compared with the second quarter, the growth rate slightly slowed down.

 

The analysis of CLP Media Power Media Data R&D Center shows that the PV development layout continues to be optimized. The northwest region is still the region with the largest installed capacity of photovoltaics, while the photovoltaic installation in East China has the fastest growth rate, which is the most important growth region in the country, with the total installed capacity directly tracking the North China region. With the advancement of the “top-runner” plan for photovoltaic power generation, it is expected that the growth rate of installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation in the fourth quarter will be faster than that in the third quarter, and the layout will continue to be promoted from northwest and north China to eastern China.

 

Northwest region

 

The northwest region is still No.1 of the total installed capacity of photovoltaics in the country. As of the third quarter, the province with the highest PV installed capacity in the region was Xinjiang, with 9.35 million kilowatts. The installed capacity of photovoltaics in Tibet, Shaanxi, Ningxia, Gansu and Qinghai was 790,000 kilowatts, 5.03 million kilowatts, 6.13 million kilowatts and 7.78 million kilowatts respectively. 7.85 million kilowatts.

 

According to the analysis of CLP Media Power Media Data R&D Center, the northwest region accounted for 30.6% of China's total installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation. In the third quarter, the growth rate of installed capacity in the six northwestern provinces showed a slowdown, down 7.3 percentage points from the first quarter, but In the northwest region, it is only a short-lived phenomenon.

 

North China region

 

The North China region is the second largest concentration area for photovoltaic power generation in China. As of the third quarter, Shandong's PV installed capacity was the highest, at 9.43 million kilowatts. Compared with the previous quarter, Shandong had the largest increase, with 3.34 million kilowatts. Beijing has the lowest installed capacity of 240,000 kilowatts, which is consistent with the first and second quarters. The installed capacity of PV in Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi and Tianjin is 7.49 million kilowatts, 7.24 million kilowatts, 4.91 million kilowatts and 660,000 kilowatts respectively.

 

According to the analysis of CLP Media Power Media Data R&D Center, Inner Mongolia was originally the province with the highest installed capacity in North China, while the growth rate in the first three quarters was flat; Shandong, which had a large increase in installed capacity, became the highest installed capacity in North China in the third quarter. This also shows the trend of the distribution of the distribution from north to east in the region.

 

East China region

 

The East China region is the fastest growing region in recent years. As of the third quarter, the installed capacity of photovoltaics in Shanghai, Fujian, Zhejiang, Anhui and Jiangsu was 500,000 kilowatts, 840,000 kilowatts, 7.19 million kilowatts, 7.99 million kilowatts and 8.35 million kilowatts respectively.

 

According to the analysis of CLP Media Power Media Data R&D Center, the newly added distributed installed capacity in China increased by more than 300% in the first three quarters. The installed capacity of power generation in Zhejiang, Anhui and Jiangsu, where distributed PV is concentrated, has been strong, which is a boost to a series of policies such as the PV “Leader” program and further reduction in power generation costs.

 

Central China Region

 

The Central China region is also a region with a relatively fast growth rate. As of the third quarter, the installed capacity of photovoltaics in Chongqing, Sichuan, Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi and Henan was 90,000 kilowatts, 1.28 million kilowatts, 1.57 million kilowatts, 3.74 million kilowatts, 4.25 million kilowatts and 6.43 million kilowatts respectively, of which Henan had a higher growth rate. The chain increased by 1.78 million kilowatts. According to the analysis of CLP Media Power Media Data R&D Center, photovoltaic poverty alleviation has become a boom in recent years. For example, Henan has built village-level photovoltaic power station construction as a key boost for photovoltaic poverty alleviation, and built village-level photovoltaic power stations to increase the installed capacity of the region. A strong motivation.

 

Southern and northeastern regions

 

In the third quarter, the installed capacity of photovoltaics in Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning was 790,000 kilowatts, 1.46 million kilowatts and 1.65 million kilowatts respectively. In the southern region, Guangdong has the highest PV installed capacity of 2.99 million kilowatts, an increase of 420,000 kilowatts from the previous month; Hainan has the lowest installed capacity of 320,000 kilowatts, which is consistent with the previous quarter. The installed capacity of photovoltaics in Guangxi, Guizhou and Yunnan is 600,000 kilowatts, 1.34 million kilowatts and 2.14 million kilowatts respectively.

 

According to the analysis of CLP Media Power Media Data R&D Center, the total installed capacity of PV in the South and Northeast China is relatively low due to local optical resources. The third quarter of Northeast China is basically stable compared with the first quarter and the second quarter, with no significant growth; Guangdong's growth has been remarkable, and it has reached half of the 6 million kilowatts specified in the “13th Five-Year Plan for Solar Energy Development”. If the growth rate is maintained, the goal of completing the 2020 is expected.

 

According to the comprehensive analysis, the growth rate of new PV installed capacity in China in the first three quarters of 2017 was slightly slower than that in the second quarter, and the growth rate in the central and eastern regions was higher than that in the northwest. With the advancement of photovoltaic-related policies, the cost of photovoltaic power generation will be greatly reduced, and the parity of the Internet will be expected. It is expected that the installed capacity of PV in China will further increase in the fourth quarter, and the growth rate will be faster than that in the third quarter. The layout will continue from northwest and north China to East China. Advance.
