Due to China''s reduced reliance in coal and vast investments in solar infrastructure, the country is expected to make up 60% of renewable energy projects to come by 2030. The IEA also explains how the energy transition will accelerate in the coming years due to the growing number of governments who are supporting renewable energy and as green ...
China can now make more solar power than the rest of the world. Data released by China’s National Agency last week revealed that the country’s solar electric power generation capacity grew by a staggering 55.2 percent in 2023. The numbers highlight over 216 gigawatts (GW) of solar power China built during the year.
China has already made major commitments to transitioning its energy systems towards renewables, especially power generation from solar, wind and hydro sources. However, there are many unknowns about the future of solar energy in China, including its cost, technical feasibility and grid compatibility in the coming decades.
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.
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.
The 216.9 gigawatts of solar power the country added shattered its previous record of 87.4 gigawatts from 2022. Not only does this achievement solidify China’s position as a renewable energy powerhouse but also eclipses the entire solar fleet of the United States, the world’s second-largest solar market, according to Bloomberg.
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.

[Photo/CHINA DAILY] HOHHOT -- The installed new energy capacity, which includes wind power and solar energy, in North China''s coal-rich Inner Mongolia autonomous region has surpassed 120 million kilowatts, exceeding the region''s installed thermal power capacity for the first time.
China''s rise to dominance in solar has been rapid (see chart). In 2005, Europeans led this race, with Germany accounting for a fifth of global solar manufacturing.
China׳s new energy development has been seriously dependent on international market for a long time, however, once the domestic enterprises have product advantages, opponents from foreign countries start to carry out trade protection frequently to impede the export of Chinese products. For example, in November 2011, seven U.S. solar PV ...
Chinese-produced photovoltaic cells have made the construction of new solar power projects much cheaper than in previous years. Domestic solar projects have also been heavily subsidized by the Chinese government, allowing for China''s solar energy capacity to dramatically soar.
By 2030, it''s projected that China will account for more than half of the global renewable energy capacity, pivoting significantly away from its previous dependence on coal. This dramatic upswing is fuelled by the country''s heavy investment in solar technology, positioning …
