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.
The Huanghe Hydropower Hainan Solar Park in China’s remote Qinghai province is the largest solar facility in the country and the second-largest in the world. It has an installed capacity of 2.2GW. The plant was built in five phases and includes 202.8 megawatts (MW)/megawatt-hours (MWh) of storage capacity.
Most of China's solar power is generated within its western provinces and is transferred to other regions of the country. In 2011, China owned the largest solar power plant in the world at the time, the Huanghe Hydropower Golmud Solar Park, which had a photovoltaic capacity of 200 MW.
China’s lead in the global solar power sector is not incidental but the result of deliberate policy, substantial investment in technology, aggressive global market expansion, and a strong manufacturing base.
