Cost and CO2 reductions of solar photovoltaic power generation in China

The results show that in 2020 PV power generation could save 17.4 Mtce fossil energy and 46.5 Tg CO 2, compared with 600 MWe coal-fired supercritical units. Also in 2020, the costs of solar electricity could be reduced by approximately 60% as compared to 2010, but would still be 11–74% higher than the current grid prices.
