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.
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.
Between March 2023 and March 2024, China installed more solar than it had in the previous three years combined, and more than the rest of the world combined for 2023. Solar capacity first surpassed wind in 2022, and the gap has grown significantly larger, thanks to the massive expansion of distributed solar.
All told, 2023 saw unprecedented wind and solar growth in China. 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.
Photographer: Dhiraj Singh/Bloomberg (Dhiraj Singh/Bloomberg) (Bloomberg) -- China connected one of the world’s largest ever solar projects in an effort to curb coal consumption and reign in emissions.
In response to the pledge, the country's solar panel installation pace is expected to accelerate (Wang et al., 2019). Therefore, China will be the highest consumer of critical materials needed in solar panels, and this scenario will increase the supply limitations on critical materials to the rest of the world.
China''s Soaring Solar Aspirations: CPIA Revises 2023
The China Solar PV Industry Association (CPIA) has once again adjusted its 2023 solar PV installation projections, now anticipating a new capacity ranging from 345 GW AC to 390 GW AC. China is poised to contribute up to 180 GW AC to the global total, driven by the expected launch of significant wind and solar energy projects by the end of 2023.
