According to data released by the National Energy Administration, the cumulative total installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation in China in 2020 was 253GW, a year-on-year increase of 23.8%. As photovoltaics gradually enter the era of parity and 14-five-year plan, the installed capacity will show a more rapid growth trend.
China added almost twice as much utility-scale solar and wind power capacity in 2023 than in any other year. By the first quarter of 2024, China’s total utility-scale solar and wind capacity reached 758 GW, though data from China Electricity Council put the total capacity, including distributed solar, at 1,120 GW.
Wind and solar now account for 37% of the total power capacity in the country, an 8% increase from 2022, and widely expected to surpass coal capacity, which is 39% of the total right now, in 2024. Cumulative annual utility-scale solar & wind power capacity in China, in gigawatts (GW)
In 2020, the national solar photovoltaic power generation will continue to maintain double-digit growth, reaching 260.5 billion kWh, a year-on-year increase of 16.1%. In 2020, the average utilization hours of solar power generation equipment in China was 1160 hours, a year-on-year decrease of 125 hours.
In 2020, China's newly installed grid-connected photovoltaic capacity reached 48.2GW, a year-on-year increase of 60.1%, of which the installed capacity of centralized photovoltaic power plants was 32.7GW, a year-on-year increase of 82.68%; the installed capacity of distributed photovoltaic power plants was 15.5GW, a year-on-year increase of 27.04%.
In 2020, the total production capacity of China's solar cell was 201.2GW, up 22.8% year-on- year, accounting for 80.7% of global production capacity; the output was about 134.8GW, up 22.2% year-on-year, about 82.5% of the annual global production.
