China added 216 gigawatts of solar in 2023, a little over half in large solar farms, according to the country’s National Energy Administration. China’s total is more than half of what the entire world added last year, according to research from the consultancy Wood Mackenzie.
Their harvest is increasingly more bountiful thanks to an innovative way of farming that integrates renewable energy into agriculture. Here, solar photovoltaic (PV) panels were installed several meters above the water, helping to generate an annual 260 gigawatts-hours of energy — enough to power 113,000 households in China.
