China Widens Solar Gap: WoodMac
China will remain the global leader in the solar supply chain for the next 4 years, controlling 80% of the global polysilicon, wafer, cell and module manufacturing capacity. This is thanks to its significant investment of USD 130 billion in the sector this year, and its cost, technological and policy advantages. Its capacity is sufficient to cover global demand until 2032. In the US and India in particular, there are plans for over 200 GW of module capacity since 2022, driven by local supportive policies. However, these plans are unlikely to reduce their dependence on Chinese imports due to the high competition and risks of oversupply, leading to suspensions or terminations of production lines in China.
What Is China's Solar Supply Chain Leadership Until 2032?
China currently holds 80% of the global polysilicon, wafer, cell and module manufacturing capacity, leading the solar supply chain.
China has invested USD 130 billion in the sector this year, further solidifying its lead until 2032.
In the US and India there are plans for over 200GW of module capacity since 2022, but due to high competition and risks of oversupply, these plans are unlikely to reduce their dependence on Chinese imports.
The Chinese solar supply chain has cost, technological and policy advantages, making it difficult for other countries to compete.

China's Mega Renewable Project: 11GW & Beyond
China Energy Investment Corp. and its listed unit China Longyuan Power Group Corp. are investing a combined 3 billion yuan ($416 million) in a joint venture to build the Badain Jaran Renewable Energy Project in Gansu province, China. The project will have 11 gigawatts of clean energy capacity, along with backup energy storage and fossil fuel power plants. This project would be one of the largest renewable energy projects in the world, second only to the planned 20-gawatt Jiuquan wind base in Gansu province. The companies are awaiting government approval before beginning construction.
What Is the Cost of China's Largest Renewable Energy Project?
The Badain Jaran Renewable Energy Project is located in Gansu province, China.
The project will have a total capacity of 11 gigawatts of clean energy, with backup energy storage and fossil fuel power plants.
Upon completion, it will be the world's second largest renewable energy project behind the 20-gigawatt Jiuquan wind base in Gansu province.
China Energy Investment Corp. and China Longyuan Power Group Corp. are investing a combined 3 billion yuan ($416 million) in the joint venture.
The project will require government approval before construction can begin.
The project is expected to reduce China's carbon emissions by 30 million tons of carbon dioxide per year.
The project is also expected to provide power to approximately 10 million households.

China Installed Record Amount of Roof Solar in 2021
China placed a record variety of photovoltaic panels on roofs last year as growth in suburbs surpassed installations on solar farms.
A total of 53 gigawatts of solar capacity was integrated in 2021, near to the all-time high embed in 2017, with more than half originating from rooftop installments, according to the National Energy Administration.
China currently has 108 GW of roof solar, more than anywhere else, after including 29 GW in 2021, the NEA claimed. The majority of the added capacity was installed in the fourth quarter as developers hurried to meet a subsidy due date.
At the same time, larger scale installments have actually stuttered because of high costs as well as project delays. China's main sector body had approximated earlier in the year that complete enhancements in 2021 can get to as high as 65 GW, before it was required to cut its forecast.
But the solar team expects development to increase in 2022 to more than 75 GW, smashing the previous record. It'll be driven by the production of substantial clean energy centers in the interior of the country along with the federal government's support for residential solar.
Also after the subsidy has actually lapsed, urban installations must remain to reinforce growth. Regional authorities are now enabled to reduce costs by buying wholesale, while a pilot program introduced last year to improve uptake brought in hundreds of cities and also towns. By the end of 2023, individuals will be anticipated to mount panels on 50% of the offered location at federal government buildings, 40% at institutions and healthcare facilities, 30% for industrial structures and 20% for rural homes.
Shandong in eastern China has actually revealed the most enthusiasm for roof solar, including more than 12 GW in the past two years. However the province now has a lot capacity that the authorities are considering reducing supply during periods of low demand over the Lunar New Year, according to local media.
