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.
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.
Zhejiang has by far the largest solar power capacity of any province or municipality in China. As of May 2022, solar farms in the province had a combined capacity of 42,938 megawatts. Zhejiang is located to the south of Shanghai and has a population of nearly 60 million people. Get notified via email when this statistic is updated.
