Rooftop solar PV installations in China may surge in the next three years as the country goes through a green energy transition and plans to make renewable energy a key cornerstone in the country's path to a greener economy, a recent research report said.

[Photo by YAO FENG/FOR CHINA DAILY] A report by the International Energy Agency, or IEA, on the future of renewable energy production has pinpointed China, and in particular its solar power capabilities, as leading the way for the world in the years to come.
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.
The figure, according to Peng Peng, secretary-general of the industry group China New Energy Investment and Financing Alliance, is expected to reach 80 GW annually if the government's push for distributed solar installations nationwide is implemented on schedule.
As China's energy regime is undergoing a transition to a more appropriate energy mix, solar energy will play a crucial role in the future. Currently, the market problem is considered the main obstacle hindering the development of the RSPV industry in China (Kyere et al., 2024; Liu & Shiroyama, 2013).
The country's rapid development of rooftop solar capacity is also driven by government incentives. Newly added annual installed capacity for solar stations has been around 30 GW on average over the past few years, China New Energy Investment and Financing Alliance said.
