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.
We analyze residents' intentions to install photovoltaic (PV) systems in China. The adoption of residential PV is influenced by the government's subsidy policy. Property rights for buildings and bungalows also affect PV systems' installation. China's residential PV installation policies should increase users' trust.
The pilot alone could deliver installed capacity around 100GW, analysts estimate. If the policy is rolled out across the country, it could eventually reach 600GW. “China is making very impressive efforts to install solar energy,” Xing Zhang, senior analyst at the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air.
“The programme will definitely drive China’s installed solar capacity in the coming years,” said Jin Boyang, a senior analyst for Refinitiv based in Beijing, describing a “promising” tool to help China meet its goal of 1,200GW of renewable capacity by 2025.
