C: Solar Power
Photovoltaic (PV) technologies dominate China''s solar industry, with roughly 99% of China''s solar power capacity. Chinese PV manufacturing accounts for the vast majority of global PV
At the Climate Ambition Summit in 2020, Chinese leader Xi Jinping announced that China planned to have 1,200 GW of solar and wind energy capacity by 2030. Between first 6 months of 2022, China built nearly 31GW of new solar power capacity, which up 137% compared to a years before.
China has more utility-scale solar than any other country. The 277 GW of utility-scale solar capacity installed in China in 2024 alone is more than twice as much as the 121 GW of utility-scale solar capacity installed in the United States at the end of 2024.
China is on track to set a new record for solar power installations in 2024, driven by falling production costs and increased global interest in renewable energy, said industry experts and company executives.
As of at least 2024, China has one third of the world's installed solar panel capacity. Most of China's solar power is generated within its western provinces and is transferred to other regions of the country.
