As of at least 2024, China has one third of the world''s installed solar panel capacity and is the largest domestic market for solar panels. A large part of the solar power capacity installed in China is in the form of large PV power plants in the west of the country, an area much less populated than the eastern part but with better solar resources and available land.

Largest solar power stations in China

China''s solar capacity has expanded far beyond fivefold in the last five years and could double by 2025. Located in remote Qinghai province, with a total installed capacity of 2.2 gigawatts, it is China''s
