Nuclear reactors approaching end-of-life, a sound PV manufacturing industry and a robust legal system all make a strong case for solar PV to muscle into Taiwan’s energy mix. Last year, a new government set a target of 20GW solar by 2025, but the industry must deal with scarce land availability and the threat of typhoons. PV Tech examines some of the huge numbers being proposed and what it will take to realise them.
Taiwan’s plans to release uncultivable land including ‘sinking land’ for large-scale solar PV projects will require both unique and robust solar equipment, according to delegates at the PV Taiwan exhibition.
