Most of the solar power in Northwest China is generated inutility-scale solar power plants, which led to power production that exceeded the targeted level in recent years. At the same time, the local demand for electricity was not growing enough to match with the rise of power supply.
In 2002, China’s first domestic photovoltaic (PV) cell production line was put into operation, with 10MW of capacity. In 2004, China began exporting PV cells to Europe, taking advantage of the development of PV power generation in European countries, especially Germany.
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!
Since the solar power rejection problem was mostly concentrated in Northwest China, lacking specific solutions for certain regions cannot effectively solve the origin of the problem. The previously high curtailment rate revealed that solar power is currently at overcapacity in China.
In 2004, China began exporting PV cells to Europe, taking advantage of the development of PV power generation in European countries, especially Germany. However, the domestic solar energy market in China at the time was very limited; the majority of PV products were exported to the EU and the U.S.
Production capacity, technology innovation among world's best In the first six months of this year, the newly installed capacity of China's PV industry reached 102.48 GW, according to reliable data. "China has made significant achievements in multiple segments of the PV industry, including cells, modules, and silicon wafers.
