[Photo by Zhang Xiufeng/For chinadaily.com.cn] China is set to witness a substantial surge in photovoltaic installations this year with the projected new installed capacity being raised from 95-120 gigawatts to 120-140GW, according to the China Photovoltaic Industry Association on Thursday.
Currently, over half of the nation's new installations of power generators are photovoltaic facilities. The surge prompted the CPIA to revise its projections for China's new PV installations this year, raising the forecast from an initial range of 120-140 GW to 160-180 GW. "China's solar power global market share has exceeded 80 percent.
Jiang Yali, a solar analyst at energy research provider BloombergNEF, said that China holds a dominant position in the global photovoltaic supply chain, accounting for more than 75 percent of its total output.
According to the administration, rural areas in China that have the potential to install PV panels on roofs cover approximately 27.3 billion square meters, and there's huge potential for further development. Although distributed PV slightly surpassed centralized large-area PV in capacity, the latter's growth was faster, the CPIA said.
Benefiting from a complete life-cycle supply chain and rapid advancements in PV power generation technology, China has emerged as a leader, achieving significant cost reductions and shaping the landscape of solar energy on a global scale," said Jiang Yali, a solar sector analyst at BloombergNEF.
China can now make more solar power than the rest of the world. Data released by China’s National Agency last week revealed that the country’s solar electric power generation capacity grew by a staggering 55.2 percent in 2023. The numbers highlight over 216 gigawatts (GW) of solar power China built during the year.
