Solar = 44% Of New Electricity Capacity In China In 2022, accounting for 42% of the world total​

Solar power growth is massive around the world, and nowhere a bigger piece of the pie than in Spain, but in terms of pure volume growth, China is absolutely in a league of its own. The country installed 96.6 GW of solar power capacity in 2022. That’s a 42% of the world total (231 GW).

Also, that represents massive growth for the country. Solar PV installations grew by 57% compared to 2021.

Looking at cumulative solar power deployment, China had 462 GW of solar PV power installed, 37.5% of the global total of 1,233 GW. Not only is that a mind-boggling share of the global solar market, but it also shows (compared to the 42% figure in 2022) that China’s share of the world total has been growing.

But something else caught my eye as I looked more closely, and it may be the thing that I find most uplifting about the Chinese solar market. That stat is in the headline, that a whopping 44% of China’s new electricity generation capacity added in 2022 was from solar PV power. If you add in wind power, the two renewables together provided 64% of new power capacity in the Red Dragon. That makes it the 7th year in a row that solar and wind have combined to lead China in new power capacity additions. At the same time, coal and fossil gas had their worst result in more than a decade.

China’s 96.6 GW of new solar power broke the country record again, as China’s solar power installations did last year. In terms of the country’s total installed power capacity, solar power is up to 15% (462 GWdc/378 GWac). The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) report I’m getting these stats from indicate that the country’s renewable energy market has shifted as follows in the past 11 years:

Looking at how the new solar PV power was distributed, 61% was from distributed (mostly rooftop) solar PV, while 39% was from utility-scale solar PV power plants. This is the second year in a row that China has seen more distributed solar PV installed than utility-scale solar PV, and it is partly in response to bottlenecks in transmission projects for more remote utility-scale solar farms.

In terms of China’s total solar PV capacity at the moment, distributed solar now makes up 40% of that number.

Solar = 82% Of Power Capacity Growth In India In 2022! - CleanTechnica

There’s no doubt about it — China leads the world in solar power growth and Spain leads the world in solar power as a share of electricity — but India deserves some praise, too. Asian giant #2 had its biggest year for solar power growth — and it wasn’t even close. Quick India Solar Power […]

China is racing. India is doing its bit but much more needs to be done.

That's awesome!
I wish for a day where our energy mix is also from solar, nuclear, hydro and domestic coal

Solar for household usage, rest for industrial and commercial usage

Over 60% of globally produced electric cars are sold in China​

It’s no secret that China is the world’s largest market for electric cars, But what is surprising is the enormous amount of vehicles moving within the boundaries of the Asian giant.


According to data provided by Cui Dongshu, secretary general of the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA), the global sales volume of electric vehicles from January to June 2023 was 7.22 million units. Of which 61% were sold in China only.

CPCA data shows that, during the first half of 2023, Tesla, BYD, SAIC, Volkswagen and Geely-Volvo consolidate as main manufacturers of electric cars worldwide, In fact, it is surprising that BYD is the largest selling brand in the Asian nation.

BYD’s Growth Is So Amazing That It Will Build Its First Million Units In May 2021But these days, it announced the delivery of its new energy vehicle (NEV) no. five lakh, this honor went to the Denza N7, thus becoming the first car manufacturer in the world to reach this milestone. Without a doubt, the Chinese are the masters and masters of electric cars around the world.

in the matter of ColombiaIt is pertinent to mention that the deposits accumulated till the end of July lastThe Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) segment recorded a new registration volume of 1,872 unitswhich represents the contraction of -17,5%, That compared to 2,269 reported in the same period in 2022, according to information compiled by the National Association for Sustainable Mobility (Endemos).
