China has at least 80% of the global market share in solar manufacturing capacity, making Chinese exports an important dataset for tracking the clean energy transition. In the first half of 2023, exports of solar panels from China grew by 34%, with 114 GW shipped worldwide, compared to 85 GW in the same period last year.
In 2023, China achieved record photovoltaic export volume growth across all subcomponents, driving manufacturing expansion in emerging markets. Following Wood Mackenzie's recent presentation at the SNEC Solar PV Conference & Exhibition in Shanghai in June, we share our insights on the global reach of China's solar and storage industry.
The growth in solar exports from China is helping to meet growing demand for clean, affordable power, driven by markets like Europe and South Africa that are aiming to increase energy security. Solar power is expected to be the largest source of electricity capacity by 2027 and will be key to rapidly reducing emissions across the power sector.
