Consolidation in China's crowded solar power sector is pushing smaller players out of the market, but excess production capacity - with more on the way - threatens to keep global prices low for years.
The prices for monocrystalline solar cells in China are RMB 0.84-0.89 yuan per watt. For multicrystalline solar cells outside of China, prices continue to be between US$0.102 and $0.133 per watt.
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.
A solar power plant in China costs 325 million yuan ($47.93 million). This is the cost for the power plant that was installed in the Kubuqi Desert, which is a key project in the Kubuqi Desert Economic Pilot Zone, planned and built by Dalad Banner.
In the first nine months of 2017, China saw 43 GW of solar energy installed in the first nine months of the year and saw a total of 52.8 GW of solar energy installed for the entire year. 2017 is currently the year with the largest addition of solar energy capacity in China.
And despite all the turmoil, the Chinese solar industry has the manufacturing capacity to meet the demand. Discover all statistics and data on Solar energy in China now on statista.com!
