In 2022, China installed roughly as much solar photovoltaic capacity as the rest of the world combined, then went on in 2023 to double new solar installations, increase new wind capacity by 66 percent, and almost quadruple additions of energy storage.
Since 2018, solar has been more dominant in China’s power investment, as incremental capacity statistics indicate: 2020H1: China added 11.52GW new solar capacity (7.08GW mounted and 4.43 distributed); while the nation only installed 6.82GW additional wind units. Solar is almost double the size of incremental wind.
China possesses abundant solar energy resources, making it an ideal region for the development of the PV industry. The country’s solar energy resources are primarily concentrated in Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Qinghai, and Tibet. Approximately of the land in China has the potential to be cost-effective sites for solar power stations.
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.
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.
Today, China has more than 80 percent of the world’s solar manufacturing capacity. The extraordinary scale of China’s renewables sector output has driven down prices worldwide, and this is a key factor in reducing the cost barrier to renewable systems for poorer countries.
The United States has maintained an investment intensity of approximately 0.25 percent over the past decade in the RE realm. In terms of policy support, China is firmly committed to supporting the photovoltaic industry based on its and energy transition.

The government subsidies for solar power energy projects have been considered "unsustainable" as the costs of subsidizing a rapidly growing industry are massive and some of China''s struggles dealing with the costs have become visible. The renewable energy fund, which is paid by consumers, has a 100 billion yuan deficit while tariff payments have occasionally been paid late. Government subsidies for solar power have also been attributed to over construction, as many …
Solar power has played an important role in helping China to meet its ambitious renewable energy targets, which aim to increase the share of non-fossil fuels in the country''s energy mix to 20% by 2030. In 2022, China''s total installed solar capacity reached 264 GW, an increase of 30 GW from the previous year.

Thus, increasing solar energy investment is a good solution. China''s priority on solar energy is also reflected in the growing investment in solar energy and the gradual increase in the share of solar energy in total energy. Table 1 shows the share of China''s use of solar power generation from 2011 to 2020, from 0.013% to 3.424%.
