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.
In the first 10 months of this year, the country added 142.5 GW of new PV systems, with 13.62 GW deployed in October alone. New solar power installations hit 78.42 GW in China at the end of June. State Power Investment Corp. (SPIC) has kicked off the construction of a 1,000 MW ground-mounted solar farm in Hotan, in China's Xinjiang region.
Most of China's solar power is generated within its western provinces and is transferred to other regions of the country. In 2011, China owned the largest solar power plant in the world at the time, the Huanghe Hydropower Golmud Solar Park, which had a photovoltaic capacity of 200 MW.
Beijing is set to further increase its manufacturing and installation of solar panels as it seeks to master global markets and wean itself from imports. China unleashed the full might of its solar energy industry last year. It installed more solar panels than the United States has in its history.
Last year, centralised PV installation capacity reached approximately 119GW, higher than distributed solar PV installation’s record of about 96GW. New PV capacity in China reached 216.88GW in 2023, a 148.12% year-on-year increase, according to the National Energy Administration of China.
China unleashed the full might of its solar energy industry last year. It installed more solar panels than the United States has in its history.
