China has added 11.04GW of solar PV capacity in July 2025, a 48% decrease from the same period a year ago, according to data from China's National Energy Administration.

China has installed 14.36GW of solar PV in June 2025, down 85% from the previous month and also decreasing 38% from the same period in 2024.

The National Energy Administration of China has unveiled that the country's newly added PV capacity in the first five months of 2023 was 61.2GW.

Solar deployment in China jumped to a new high in 2022, according to new figures from the country’s National Energy Administration.

China’s installed solar capacity reached 360GW at the end of October 2022, a 29% increase year-on-year, according to figures from the country’s National Energy Administration.

China expects to install up to 108GW of solar this year, nearly double the capacity it installed last year.

China’s government has signalled it will aim to deploy enough solar and wind power generation this year to make up 11% of the country’s total power mix, according to its power planning agency the National Energy Administration (NEA).

PV might have only seen 30.22GW added throughout 2019 but ‘year-end rally’ hinted at by latest NEA figures may indicate market will rebound more than expected in 2020, analysts say.

China has released its latest five-year plan for the solar industry with a focus on tackling curtailment, improving project quality and further reducing its feed-in tariff.
