About this data
China solar installations by province are reported quarterly by the National Energy Administration. Measures cover cumulative grid-connected capacity split into utility-scale PV stations, distributed PV, and household PV. The table also includes newly grid-connected capacity year-to-date across provinces including Shandong, Jiangsu, and Guangdong. Published in 10,000 kW with quarterly updates, official series track provincial solar construction since 2023.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the latest figure for China solar installations by province?
- The latest reading is 124,070.3 10,000 kW, for Q1 2026. That is +3.4% from Q4 2025 and +31.2% from a year earlier.
- How far back does the China solar installations by province data go?
- The series on this page is quarterly and runs from Q2 2023 to Q1 2026. Source: National Energy Administration (NEA) — Solar PV Construction by Province. Every series in the table can be charted over its full history and downloaded as CSV or Excel.
- What does this table of China solar installations measure?
- This table measures China solar photovoltaic (PV) construction by province, reporting cumulative grid-connected capacity and newly connected capacity year-to-date. The figures are published quarterly by the National Energy Administration (NEA) in units of 10,000 kW.
- Which categories of solar capacity are reported across Chinese provinces?
- China's provincial solar data are broken down into utility-scale centralised PV stations, distributed PV, and household PV systems, alongside total cumulative grid-connected capacity.
- How should newly connected solar capacity be interpreted in this table?
- Newly connected solar capacity in China is reported on a cumulative year-to-date basis rather than as standalone quarterly additions, reflecting total grid connections completed from the start of the calendar year.
