China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology submitted a revision of the Photovoltaic Manufacturing Industry Normative Conditions policy for public consultation in early July 2024. The revision encourages companies to reduce capacity expansion and focus on innovation and cost reduction, promoting sustainable development.
Continuous innovation led by China has halved the emissions intensity of solar PV manufacturing since 2011. This is the result of more efficient use of materials and energy – and greater low-carbon electricity production.
Regarding the installation, China is striving to lead that as well. The Renewable Energy Agency's updated report shows that solar PV installation increased from 72 GW in 2011 to more than 1 TW by the end of 2022 (IRENA, 2022b). China's share in production increased from 60 % in 2010 to almost 80 % in 2021.
Global solar PV manufacturing capacity has increasingly moved from Europe, Japan and the United States to China over the last decade. China has invested over USD 50 billion in new PV supply capacity – ten times more than Europe − and created more than 300 000 manufacturing jobs across the solar PV value chain since 2011.
In the span of 25 years, China was able to install 393 GW of solar PV alone. That is about 37 % of the global installed capacity. Dominating the solar industry encouraged China to set some trade quotas and restrictions that put the supply chain of solar PVs, and thin film PVs in particular, at great risk.
China has invested over USD 50 billion in new PV supply capacity – ten times more than Europe − and created more than 300 000 manufacturing jobs across the solar PV value chain since 2011. Today, China’s share in all the manufacturing stages of solar panels (such as polysilicon, ingots, wafers, cells and modules) exceeds 80%.
