As of at least 2024, China has one third of the world's installed solar panel capacity. Most of China's solar power is generated within its western provinces and is transferred to other regions of the country.
Last year, China managed to hit a record-breaking number of residential solar power system installations due to the growing number of residential areas. According to the National Energy Administration, a total of 53 gigawatts of solar PV capacity was installed in 2021, which is close enough to the high record hit in 2017.
China's installed centralized solar power plant capacity comprises over 60 % of the total installed capacity encompassing both centralized and distributed PV systems (National Energy Administration,2023).
In 2020, China saw an increase in annual solar energy installations with 48.4 GW of solar energy capacity being added, accounting for 3.5% of China's energy capacity that year. 2020 is currently the year with the second-largest addition of solar energy capacity in China's history.
In 2021, China hit a breaking record of a solar power capacity with 54.9 gigawatts to its grid. According to China’s energy authority, the country managed to increase the capacity by 14% compared to the capacity made by the previous year, while gaining 31% of its total capacity additions over the year.
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.
