In the span of 25 years, China was able to install 393 GW of solar PV alone. That is about 37 % of the global installed capacity. Dominating the solar industry encouraged China to set some trade quotas and restrictions that put the supply chain of solar PVs, and thin film PVs in particular, at great risk.
Between March 2023 and March 2024, China installed more solar than it had in the previous three years combined, and more than the rest of the world combined for 2023. Solar capacity first surpassed wind in 2022, and the gap has grown significantly larger, thanks to the massive expansion of distributed solar.
All told, 2023 saw unprecedented wind and solar growth in China. The unabated wave of construction guarantees that China will continue leading in wind and solar installation in the near future, far ahead of the rest of the world.
In response to the pledge, the country's solar panel installation pace is expected to accelerate (Wang et al., 2019). Therefore, China will be the highest consumer of critical materials needed in solar panels, and this scenario will increase the supply limitations on critical materials to the rest of the world.
New and cumulative installed capacities of China's solar PV power from 2000 to 2017. In order to effectively coordinate the scale and speed of the solar PV installation with the economic development, China has occasionally set and adjusted the development targets for solar PV power.
In addition, China is responsible for the processing of rare earth elements that are mined abroad. China worked hard to maintain its position as a leader in the production of assembled PVs and their parts. The country has also majorly invested in installed capacities. In the span of 25 years, China was able to install 393 GW of solar PV alone.
