Most places, like here in California for example, an independent assessment of solar output by the state must determine that the solar is producing what the seller says it is producing, before the California Feed-in-tariff (or solar rebate)is paid by the state.

Solar estimators can check their calculations for output here:

The same kind of independent assessment such as the California Solar Initiative Estimated Performance Based Buydown (CSI-EPBB) would be necessary in China.

In any case -this new rule in China would apply to any renewable source, such as wind OR solar or etc, depending on local best options.

I am a senior electrical engineer and I can not tell you what would be our eventual power mix- the market place will decise after we tax fossil fuels at high enough levels.

We are in a very serious danger because of GW. We need to use clear thinking and reduce our emotional attachments to “magical” things, such as PV.

In high desert locations industrial PV, as solar high tower, may be useful when the total cost goes down further, but not on individual homes where the sellers often lie to us promising much higher output than possible and installations and maintainance are costly and poor.

But Dave is talking about solar potential: “inSOLation” refering to how good the sun potential for solar power is there.

I’d think there’s pretty sizable desert areas in China which usually corelates to good solar potential.
