Studies have shown that solar energy decreased due to the increase in air pollution in China in 1960–1990 (Qian et al., 2007; Shi et al., 2008; Xia et al., 2006), while the increase in solar energy had been consistent with the decrease in fossil fuel emissions in China since 1990 (Li et al., 2018). Studies in recent years have also pointed to the importance of
Solar power is vital for China''s future energy pathways to achieve the goal of 2060 carbon neutrality.

In this paper, we have reviewed the global solar energy market and highlighted the dominance of China in the solar energy market. With more than 50 % of the raw materials being produced there already, China leads in the manufacturing of assembled PVs as well. The Chinese companies supply around 200 countries'' needs of solar PVs, besides their domestic

Over recent decades, China has risen to a preeminent global position in both solar photovoltaic (PV) adoption and production, a feat underpinned by a suite of pivotal policy measures. With a burgeoning demand for PV systems on the horizon, there is an urgent need to reassess past policies and chart new directions.
Between March 2023 and March 2024, China installed more solar than it had in the previous three years combined, and more than the rest of the world combined for 2023. Solar capacity first surpassed wind in 2022, and the gap has grown significantly larger, thanks to the massive expansion of distributed solar.
China''s goal to achieve carbon (C) neutrality by 2060 requires scaling up photovoltaic (PV) and wind power from 1 to 10–15 PWh year −1 (refs. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5).
With solar photovoltaics taking over recently, an in-depth look into their supply chain shows a surprising dependency on the Chinese market from the raw materials to the assembled PVs. This article tackles the main challenges in the solar energy market and sheds light on the opportunities in that industry.
In China''s "14th Five-Year Plan" for renewable energy development, the targeted annual capacity for photovoltaic power generation is 124.5 billion kilowatt-hours. In this context, effective development of the solar energy potential in urban residential neighborhoods has a broad development prospect . Here remains untapped potential for the utilization of
China''s priority on solar energy is also reflected in the growing investment in solar energy and the gradual increase in the share of solar energy in total energy. Table 1 shows the share of China''s use of solar power generation from 2011 to 2020, from 0.013% to 3.424%. Figure 1 shows the changes in the share of thermal power generation and solar power
