A Summit Theme Dinner on 'Understanding the Chinese Solar Boom, its Implications and Impact on PV Grid Parity' will be hosted by LONGi Solar. China has been the world's largest solar market since 2013, is expected to install over 40 GW this year, equal to around half of the world's new solar capacity additions. In August 2017 China's government announced to add 86.5GW of new utility-scale PV by 2020 in an effort to accelerate solar growth in the country and push solar power's costs down to parity with coal.
"PV3.0 means that we are reaching the third phase of the solar revolution", said Zhong Baoshen . "While in 2017, global installed PV capacity reached 300 GW and contracted solar power prices plunged to less than $0.03/kWh, it will take little more than 5 years until solar power capacity gets to the 1 Terawatt (TW) level, - that's about equivalent to China's coal power generation capacities. In the PV3.0 Era, PV and other green energy sources will become the main energy sources of mankind."
