In 2020, the national solar photovoltaic power generation will continue to maintain double-digit growth, reaching 260.5 billion kWh, a year-on-year increase of 16.1%. In 2020, the average utilization hours of solar power generation equipment in China was 1160 hours, a year-on-year decrease of 125 hours.
In 2020, China's newly installed grid-connected photovoltaic capacity reached 48.2GW, a year-on-year increase of 60.1%, of which the installed capacity of centralized photovoltaic power plants was 32.7GW, a year-on-year increase of 82.68%; the installed capacity of distributed photovoltaic power plants was 15.5GW, a year-on-year increase of 27.04%.

In 2050, the total solar PV installed capacity of China was forecasted to amount to approximately 2,870 GW based on a two degree Celsius scenario.
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.
According to data released by the National Energy Administration, the cumulative total installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation in China in 2020 was 253GW, a year-on-year increase of 23.8%. As photovoltaics gradually enter the era of parity and 14-five-year plan, the installed capacity will show a more rapid growth trend.
Although the world's solar capital usually experiences an end-of-year rush of installations, the estimated December uplift of 22.3 GW – based on monthly installation data released by the China Electricity Council (CEC) – of new generation capacity is still remarkable, almost matching the 25.9 GW amassed from January to the end of November.
