Data released by China's National Energy Administration last year revealed that the country's solar electricity generation capacity grew by a staggering 55.2 percent in 2023. The numbers highlight over 216 gigawatts (GW) of solar power that China built during the year.
In 2021, 53 GW of solar power capacity was added in China—40% of the global total. 47 At year end, total solar power capacity reached 307 GW. 48 In the first half of 2022, roughly 31 GW of solar power were added to the grid in China. 49 China also leads the world in solar manufacturing, as it has for many years.
The numbers highlight over 216 gigawatts (GW) of solar power that China built during the year. According to the Global Energy Monitor's solar power tracker, the two largest operational solar facilities were previously located in western China.
In 2020, 67% of solar PV modules globally were made in China. 51 China accounts for a similarly large share of global PV cell and polysilicon production. 52 In 2021, solar power was 13% of China's power capacity and produced roughly 4% of China's electricity. 53
