Interest in solar PV projects saw a downward trend from Chinese central state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in 2024.

Last year has marked a turning point for Chinese energy and power enterprises' investments in PV power plants in China.

The decline reflects the broad trend across the solar manufacturing industry, where severe downward pressure on prices—brought about by an excess of product supply—has squeezed manufacturers' margins and pushed some into the red.

Despite strong numbers forecast for 2025, this would represent a year-on-year decline from China's 277GW of solar PV installed in 2024.

Daqo New Energy posted losses of US$65.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, and end-of-year losses of US$212.9 million.
