The evolving sophistication and falling costs of photovoltaic technology are helping drive solar power generation towards an unprecedented “PV+” era. This allows clean energy to access every aspect of the social economy, painting a future of diversified symbiosis and harmonious development.
It can be seen from Fig. 5 that the minimum value of PV power generation in January occurs one day before the first solar term (Slight Cold), and the maximum value of PV power generation occurs in the middle of two adjacent solar terms (Slight Cold and Great Cold).
While remaining a modest contributor to overall electricity generation for now, solar's share rose to 7% in 2024 – nearly doubling in just three years. Solar experienced the fastest growth among all power generation technologies in terms of electricity output, three times as much as wind power, which was ranked second.
These breakthroughs highlight the rapid progress in solar PV technology, underscoring ongoing efforts to optimize performance and facilitate widespread adoption. The global solar PV industry has experienced remarkable growth in recent years, with cumulative installed capacity reaching 1.6 TW in 2023, up from 1.2 TW in 2022 .
Based on an analysis of the 24 solar terms, this work investigated their impact on PV power generation in China and established a correlation coefficient between PV output and solar terms.
