Industry OverviewHistorySolar resourcesSolar photovoltaicsConcentrated solar powerSolar water heatingEffects on the global solar power industryGovernment incentives
China is the largest market in the world for both photovoltaics and solar thermal energy. China''s photovoltaic industry began by making panels for satellites, and transitioned to the manufacture of domestic panels in the late 1990s. After substantial government incentives were introduced in 2011, China''s solar power market grew dramatically: the country became the world''s leading installer of photovoltaics
At the end of 2015, the PV installed capacity of China was approximately 43.54 GW, and the contribution of PV power generation to total power generation was ≤0.7 % . Five years later (end of 2020), the PV installed capacity of China exceeded 253.83 GW . However, PV power generation does not result in zero carbon emissions.
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.
China added almost twice as much utility-scale solar and wind power capacity in 2023 than in any other year. By the first quarter of 2024, China's total utility-scale solar and wind capacity reached 758 GW, though data from China Electricity Council put the total capacity, including distributed solar, at 1,120 GW.
However, our conclusions have policy implications for the large-scale consumption of PV power generation in China and other countries. In 2014, China's PV cumulative installed capacity reached 28.05 GW. Currently, supportive policies in China focus on the national level.
