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.
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).
In addition, China is responsible for the processing of rare earth elements that are mined abroad. China worked hard to maintain its position as a leader in the production of assembled PVs and their parts. The country has also majorly invested in installed capacities. In the span of 25 years, China was able to install 393 GW of solar PV alone.
As discussed in the previous sections, China was able to dominate the solar industry market. Incentives and government subsidies dating from 2009 onwards helped secure the lead in the world for solar power production since 2017 (Liu et al., 2022; Chowdhury et al., 2020).
With the largest installed solar PV capacity worldwide since 2015 and a dominant position in PV product manufacturing and export, the industry continues to expand. Even in the pursuit of carbon neutrality, China's potential for PV growth remains significant.
The increased installed capacity, the heavy manufacturing, and the availability of materials on its domestic land allowed China to control the global solar market by imposing quotas and restrictions on importing countries. We have shown that China alone installed more than 50 % of the total Asian solar capacity in the span of 25 years.

China tops the renewable energy field globally in terms of investments, production, and installed capacity (IEA, 2017). China invested nearly US$90 billion in renewable energy in 2012 (Bloomberg News, 2013), and this is estimated to increase to more than US$360 billion per year by 2020 (Reuters, 2017).
In comparison, the sunniest places of the planet are found on the continent of Africa. As theoretically estimated, the potential concentrated solar power (CSP) and PV energy in Africa is around 470 and 660 petawatt hours (PWh), respectively [12].However, in the regions other than Africa (like south-western United States, Central and South America, North and …
Solar power is vital for China''s future energy pathways to achieve the goal of 2060 carbon neutrality. Previous studies have suggested that China''s solar energy resource potential surpass the projected nationwide power demand in 2060, yet the uncertainty quantification and cost competitiveness of such resource potential are less studied ...

China has experienced rapid social and economic development in the past 40 years. However, excessive consumption of fossil fuel energy has caused an energy shortage and led to severe environmental pollution. To achieve sustainable development, China is striving to transform its growth mode. Adopting renewable energy (RE) including solar photovoltaic (PV) …
The utility-scale developments had left out China''s more scattered rural populations, so showing interest in a rural model in which customers both draw energy down and sell energy back to the grid was a …
Solar power, along with manufacturing capacity for solar panels, EVs and batteries, were the main focus of China''s clean-energy investments in 2023, the analysis shows. (For this analysis, we used a broad definition of "clean energy" sectors, including renewables, nuclear power, electricity grids, energy storage, EVs and railways.
Solar photovoltaic power generation, as an environmentally friendly energy technology that converts sunlight into electricity, directly converts sunlight into electricity through the use of solar panels, further producing clean and environmentally friendly electricity. Through the analysis of the development status of China''s solar photovoltaic power generation, this …
As of 2022, China has become the world''s largest producer of solar energy, with a total installed capacity of over 250 GW. Solar power has played an important role in helping China to meet its ambitious renewable energy targets, which aim to increase the share of non-fossil fuels in the country''s energy mix to 20% by 2030.
By refining and diversifying its development goals, China''s solar photovoltaic power generation industry can ensure a more sustainable and comprehensive approach to solar energy development. This will allow the industry to capitalize on the growing global demand for clean, renewable energy sources
