By the end of 2022, China’s cumulative installed PV capacity had reached 392.6 GW, with an additional installation of 87.41 GW in 2022 (National Energy Administration, 2023), ranking the first globally in terms of new installation rate. It has become the world’s largest PV power market, accounting for nearly one-third of global PV installations 9.
BEIJING, Feb. 18 -- China's photovoltaic (PV) sector posted robust growth in 2022 with the total output value of the industry exceeding 1.4 trillion yuan (203.9 billion U.S. dollars), official data showed.
China's newly installed photovoltaic capacity has ranked first in the world in recent years. Timely and accurate monitoring of the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of solar power plants is essential to optimize China's renewable energy power distribution and achieve carbon reduction targets.
Last year, the country saw a steady expansion of the construction of large-scale PV bases and the application of distributed photovoltaics, with the country's newly-added installed PV capacity reaching 87 gigawatts. Strong overseas market demands for new energy drove up the export of China's PV products.
Owing to China's escalating demand for renewable energy and carbon emissions reduction, and given its prominent position as one of the fastest-growing nations in photovoltaic (PV) development, a comprehensive assessment of the potential of both centralized and distributed photovoltaic systems in China is crucial.
As of the end of 2020, China's total installed photovoltaic capacity was 253 GW. This accounts for one-third of the world's total installed photovoltaic capacity (760.4 GW). Most of China's solar power is generated within its western provinces and is transferred to other regions of the country.
