CHN Energy has wrapped up its 10 GW PV inverter tender for 2023, with Huawei securing orders for 4.1 GW of string inverters and Sungrow obtaining 1.85 GW. CHN Energy has announced the results of its 10 GW central purchasing tender for PV inverters for 2023.
The Zhuzhou National Engineering Research Centre secured a 1 GW order for centralized inverters, while Goodwe secured an order for 500 MW of string inverters. Shanxi Coal International Energy Group (SCIEG) has canceled plans to build 3 GW of heterojunction solar module production capacity.
China's solar industry climbed to new heights in 2023, with manufacturing, installed capacity and exports experiencing robust growth and reshaping the global landscape with continuous technological breakthroughs.
"China's solar power global market share has exceeded 80 percent. Technological prowess is evident in continuous breakthroughs, such as achieving a 33.9 percent conversion efficiency in crystalline silicon-perovskite tandem solar cells, setting yet another world record," said Wang Shijiang, secretary-general of the CPIA.
Currently, over half of the nation's new installations of power generators are photovoltaic facilities. The surge prompted the CPIA to revise its projections for China's new PV installations this year, raising the forecast from an initial range of 120-140 GW to 160-180 GW. "China's solar power global market share has exceeded 80 percent.
The development of residential PV has progressed rapidly, with China's cumulative installed capacity surpassing 100 million kW by the end of September. Rural areas in China have witnessed over 5 million households installing residential PV systems, driving investment exceeding 500 billion yuan, said the NEA.
