In the first nine months of 2017, China saw 43 GW of solar energy installed in the first nine months of the year and saw a total of 52.8 GW of solar energy installed for the entire year. 2017 is currently the year with the largest addition of solar energy capacity in China.
Solar energy is the most common, cheapest, and most mature renewable energy technology. With solar photovoltaics taking over recently, an in-depth look into their supply chain shows a surprising dependency on the Chinese market from the raw materials to the assembled PVs.
Smouh et al. (2022) reported the possible applications of solar thermal for the textile sector. Iram et al. (2021) presented a feasible off-grid PV system for residential electricity. Nevertheless, scholars did not stress the need to examine the viable evaluation of solar energy in the main Chinese cities and develop appropriate action plans.
And despite all the turmoil, the Chinese solar industry has the manufacturing capacity to meet the demand. Discover all statistics and data on Solar energy in China now on statista.com!
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.
Some parts of the country get 2 MWh/m 2 solar irradiation and 3,000 h of sunshine per year, which is ideal for setting up solar energy parks to exploit the true potential of solar sources in the country (Kamran et al. 2019). Several scholars have analyzed the growth of solar energy in the Chinese context from various angles.
