Machine learning is helping researchers find the highest probability combinations for more efficient and cheaper solar technology, something which will benefit everyone in the world.
China General Nuclear group says it is investing nearly $2.5 billion to build 1 GW of solar and 2 GW of wind power in Inner Mongolia. Both are expected to come online in 2021.

China’s National Energy Administration announced last week the results of its first national solar auction for Feed-in Tariff (FiT)-approved projects, in which it awarded 22.78 gigawatts (GW) across 3,921 projects, all of which must be completed and grid-connected by the end of the year.
Leading energy market intelligence firm Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables has published its latest market outlook of the global solar PV market in conjunction with a stunning visualisation which shows China’s meteoric dominance of the solar industry which dates back to 2011.
China’s Government approved the first of its long-awaited grid-parity renewable energy projects for 2019 this week, which include 4.5 gigawatts (GW) of wind and nearly 15 GW of solar PV.
China’s National Energy Administration announced Monday that a total of 5.2 gigawatts (GW) of solar was installed during the first quarter while, at the same time, the Price Bureau of China’s National Development and Reform Commission finally published its solar Feed-in Tariff policy for 2019 on Tuesday.
China’s National Renewable Energy Center announced last week that the country’s solar PV installations for the first quarter reached only 5.2 gigawatts (GW), down 46% over the same quarter a year earlier, highlighting the significant uncertainty that has plagued the Chinese solar industry over the last 10 months.
Information regarding the immediate future of China’s solar industry continues to be drip fed by the country’s government and experts believe that the current policy draft would amount to subsidies of RMB3 billion (US$447 million) which could support over 30 gigawatts (GW) of solar capacity in 2019.
China’s solar industry is expected to transition towards a subsidy-free market which could begin as early as 2021, according to a new analysis of China’s solar industry published by Asia Europe Clean Energy (Solar) Advisory.
