OverviewHistorySolar resourcesSolar photovoltaicsConcentrated solar powerSolar water heatingEffects on the global solar power industryGovernment incentivesChina is the largest market in the world for both photovoltaics (PV) and solar thermal energy. Its PV capacity crossed 1,000 gigawatt (one terawatt, 1 TW) in May 2025. By June 2025, China''s PV capacity surpassed 1,100 gigawatt. In 2024, China added 277 gigawatts (GW) of solar power, which was equivalent to 15% of the world''s total cumulative installed solar capacity.

Distributed solar photovoltaic development potential and a roadmap at

To achieve this ambitious target, the Chinese energy mix will change substantially by 2060. The solar power cumulative capacity will reach at least 600 GW by 2030, 1000 GW by 2040,

China''s solar capacity installations grew rapidly in 2024

Plans for the Great Solar Wall, which is scheduled to be completed by 2030, provide for around 100 GW of installed capacity covering an area more than 250 miles long and 3 miles wide
