China 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.

Solar power in China

As of at least 2024, China has one third of the world''s installed solar panel capacity. Most of China''s solar power is generated within its western provinces and is transferred to other regions of the country.
