Of the total global solar PV capacity, 35.45% is in China. Listed below are the five largest active solar PV power plants by capacity in China, according to GlobalData’s power plants database. GlobalData uses proprietary data and analytics to provide a complete picture of the global solar PV power segment.
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.
By 2024 China is building 30 Concentrated Solar Power Projects as part of gigawatt-scale renewable energy complexes in each province, appropriately reflecting the urgency and scale needed for climate action
Indeed, China is leading the way in renewables development. In July 2024, new data from Global Energy Monitor (GEM) found that China is building almost twice as much wind and solar energy capacity as every other country in the world combined, with 180GW of utility-scale solar and 159GW of wind power already under construction.

China is building two-thirds of the world’s new solar and wind projects, with 180GW of utility-scale solar capacity under construction, according to a recent Global Energy Monitor study.
Solar PV capacity accounted for 13.0% of total power plant installations globally in 2022, according to GlobalData, with total recorded solar PV capacity of 1,109GW. This is expected to contribute 30% by the end of 2030 with capacity of installations aggregating up to 4,002GW. Of the total global solar PV capacity, 35.45% is in China.
