在“我国后续能源发展战略研究”基础上对太阳能技术在我国未来减排CO₂中的作用进行了估计，结果表明，在2010年后太阳能技术对CO₂减排作用开始有较明显影响，2020年后开始有较显著影响。

The effect of solar energy technology on the reduction of CO₂ emissions in future in China is estimated based on“The strategic study of alternative energy development in China” .The results show that solar energy technology will have an appreciable effect after 2010, and a remarkable effect emissions after 2020 on the reduction of CO₂.
