C: Solar Power
Background China leads the world in deployment of solar power, with more than one-third of global capacity. China has led the world in solar power deployment every year since 2015. 46 In 2021, 53
Fig. 6. Annual power generation and potential installed capacity of concentrated solar power (CSP) plants with four different technologies by province in China: (A) Parabolic trough collector (PTC), (B) linear Fresnel collector (LFC), (C) central receiver system (CRS), and (D) parabolic dish system (PDS).
The results show that China is rich in solar resources and has excellent CSP development potential. Approximately 11% of China's land is suitable for the construction of CSP stations, of which more than 99% is concentrated in five provinces in the northwest region (i.e., Xinjiang, Tibet, Inner Mongolia, Qinghai, and Ningxia).
China's solar sector advances with CSP tower completion, international project growth, and market resilience.
In 2021, 53 GW of solar power capacity was added in China—40% of the global total. 47 At year end, total solar power capacity reached 307 GW. 48 In the first half of 2022, roughly 31 GW of solar power were added to the grid in China. 49 China also leads the world in solar manufacturing, as it has for many years.
