The installed solar PV capacity in China increasing from 130.25 GW in 2017 to 392.61 GW in 2022 (IRENA, 2023). Moreover, at the United Nations Climate Ambition Summit, China further announced that the total installed capacity of wind and solar power will reach over 1200 GW by 2030 (The United Nations et al., 2020).
The Northeast China has lower theoretical PV power generation mainly due to the high latitude, low solar radiation and low land use, while the lower value of the East and Central China are mainly because of thicker clouds cover and higher temperature.
Wind and solar now account for 37% of the total power capacity in China, an 8% increase from 2022. This means that China's solar and wind power capacity is 37% of the total power capacity.
And despite all the turmoil, the Chinese solar industry has the manufacturing capacity to meet the demand. Discover all statistics and data on Solar energy in China now on statista.com!
Renewable power capacity in China will continue to increase if wind and solar capacity additions maintain the same rate as 2023 every year from 2024 to 2030. However, demand region remains a challenge and fast growth in power storage renewables may cast a shadow on wind and solar's achievements.
China's wind and solar growth in 2023 was unprecedented. The unabated wave of construction guarantees that China will continue leading in wind and solar installation in the near future, far ahead of the rest of the world.
