Solar energy resource in China is abundant in large soil. The best utilization of solar energy in Chinese city is solar water heater, which is used to millions of communities in China, and the share ranks the first in the world.
In other words, the abundant zone of solar energy has a share of more than 67%, so China has abundant solar energy. Certainly, China has thousands of towns and hundreds of cities and the different cities have the different daily irradiations and best obliquities.
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.
Zhejiang has by far the largest solar power capacity of any province or municipality in China. As of May 2022, solar farms in the province had a combined capacity of 42,938 megawatts. Zhejiang is located to the south of Shanghai and has a population of nearly 60 million people. Get notified via email when this statistic is updated.
Resources are most concentrated in northwest provinces, topped by Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang and Gansu. The challenge of solar development in China is integration rather than resources.
And despite all the turmoil, the Chinese solar industry has the manufacturing capacity to meet the demand. Discover all statistics and data on Solar energy in China now on statista.com!
Linking energy crises and solar energy in China: a roadmap
Fossil fuels are the primary energy sources of China, which are not only expensive but have adverse environmental impacts. To cope with this situation, the Chinese government wants to fulfil 25% of its energy consumption by non-fossil fuels by 2030. In this perspective, we selected the solar sources of the country and collected solar irradiation data …
