Global solar PV capacity installations 2023

China had the greatest new solar photovoltaic capacity additions worldwide in 2023, at some 235 gigawatts. The global solar PV cumulative capacity increased massively over the past 20 years. In the year 2000, the capacity amounted to just over one gigawatt and by 2023 had surpassed 1.6 terawatts. Solar capacity is expected to continue to rise as renewables increase their role in the global energy mix. The United States increased its solar photovoltaic capacity by 33 gigawatts in 2023.  China leads the solar race Despite being ranked second in terms of new capacity installations, the United States added considerably less than the top-ranked nation, China. In 2023, China's solar pv cumulative capacity amounted to over 640 gigawatts. This was more than the combined cumulative capacities of the United States, Japan and India. China’s newly installed capacity has presented a growing trend in the last decade. Unsurprisingly, China is home to many of the world’s major solar PV companies, such as Jinko Solar. In 2023 the company reported an annual revenue of 16.7 billion U.S. dollars.

在2023年，中国在全球范围内新增太阳能光伏装机容量方面位居首位，新增装机容量约为235吉瓦。在过去二十年里，全球太阳能光伏累计装机容量实现了大幅增长。2000年，累计装机容量仅为略超过1吉瓦，而到了2023年，已超过1.6太瓦。随着可再生能源在全球能源结构中作用的不断提升，预计太阳能装机容量将持续增长。2023年，美国新增太阳能光伏装机容量33吉瓦。尽管在新增装机容量排名中位列第二，但美国新增的装机容量远不及排名第一的中国。2023年，中国的太阳能光伏累计装机容量超过640吉瓦，这一数字超过了美国、日本和印度的累计装机容量总和。在过去十年中，中国新增装机容量的增长趋势日益显著。不出所料，中国拥有众多全球主要的太阳能光伏企业，如晶科能源。该公司在2023年报告的年度收入达到167亿美元。
