China, being the largest developing country and the largest PV utilization country, has been actively pursuing the adoption of PV technology to meet its growing energy demands while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, the vigorous development of PV projects requires substantial land resources, which are relatively scarce.
The China Solar PV Industry Association (CPIA) has once again adjusted its 2023 solar PV installation projections, now anticipating a new capacity ranging from 345 GW AC to 390 GW AC. China is poised to contribute up to 180 GW AC to the global total, driven by the expected launch of significant wind and solar energy projects by the end of 2023.
BNEF anticipates China's new PV capacity to reach 240 GW by the end of 2023 . The CPIA adjusted its forecast following China's installation of 142.56 GW AC PV in the first 10 months of 2023, marking a remarkable 145% year-on-year surge that surpassed its earlier prediction of 120 GW to 140 GW.
In 2023, China, the world's largest solar PV market, is projected to represent 160 GW AC to 180 GW AC of the global solar PV installations, with the overall figures expected to fall within the range of 345 GW AC to 390 GW AC, as reported by the CPIA.
The researchers first found that the physical potential of solar PV, which includes how many solar panels can be installed and how much solar energy they can generate, in China reached 99.2 petawatt-hours in 2020.
Land is a fundamental resource for the deployment of PV systems, and PV power projects are established on various types of land. As of the end of 2022, China has amassed an impressive 390 million kW of installed PV capacity, occupying approximately 0.8 million km2 of land .
