According to the National Energy Bureau of the latest data, as of the end of 2016, China's photovoltaic power generation installed capacity of 34 million 540 thousand kilowatts, a total installed capacity of 7742 kilowatts, the two figures are currently ranked first in the world. China has become the world's largest producer of solar energy.

Among them, the solar power system plant cumulative installed capacity of 67 million 100 thousand kilowatts, distributed cumulative installed capacity of 10 million 320 thousand kilowatts, the annual power output of 66 billion 200 million kilowatts. However, solar energy currently accounts for only 1% of the country's total electricity output. This means that the potential for solar energy development is enormous.
