China can now make more solar power than the rest of the world. Data released by China’s National Agency last week revealed that the country’s solar electric power generation capacity grew by a staggering 55.2 percent in 2023. The numbers highlight over 216 gigawatts (GW) of solar power China built during the year.
The cumulative installed capacity of China accounts for 33.77% of the global PV installed capacity. Specifically, China owns abundant solar energy resources due to its broad areas with rich solar radiation. Supported by the Chinese government, the photovoltaic industry system has made continuous progress with the significant improvement.
As China has the world's largest installed capacity of solar energy, the development of the solar power generation in China will have a profound impact on the healthy development of the global solar power industry. Based on the China's experience, the following suggestions are given for the other countries:
China hopes to harness emerging industries like solar power, which Mr. Xi likes to describe as “new productive forces,” to re-energize an economy that has slowed for more than a decade. The emphasis on solar power is the latest installment in a two-decade program to make China less dependent on energy imports.
Researchers from Harvard, Tsinghua University in Beijing, Nankai University in Tianjin and Renmin University of China in Beijing have found that solar energy could provide 43.2% of China’s electricity demands in 2060 at less than two-and-a-half U.S. cents per kilowatt-hour.
Solar energy is the most common, cheapest, and most mature renewable energy technology. With solar photovoltaics taking over recently, an in-depth look into their supply chain shows a surprising dependency on the Chinese market from the raw materials to the assembled PVs.
