In China, mostly the solar energy is used by the solar water heater and solar energy greenhouse. The extensive utilizations of solar energy have brought great environmental and economic benefits in the recent decades. The utilizations of solar energy can be divided into two kinds.
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.
The architecture area in China is more than 40 billion m 2, and housetop area is more than 4 billion m 2, and the area of southerly wall is more than 5 billion m 2. The total area can be utilized more than 49 billion m 2. If the fixed PV area of architecture has a share of 20%, the capacity total is 100 GW.
The best utilization of solar energy in Chinese village is solar energy greenhouse, which is used in thousands of village in China, and the economy behalf is more than 10 billion dollars, and millions of farmers profit from the use of SEG. Moreover, some other PV productions have been utilized in China.
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.
Wind and solar now account for 37% of the total power capacity in the country, an 8% increase from 2022, and widely expected to surpass coal capacity, which is 39% of the total right now, in 2024. Cumulative annual utility-scale solar & wind power capacity in China, in gigawatts (GW)
