China’s Solar PV Output In 2023 Exceeded RMB 1.7 Trillion ($236 billion)
622 GW Silicon Wafer Production; 212 GW Out Of 499 GW Modules Produced Shipped Overseas
Almost half of the 499 GW of solar modules produced by local manufacturers were exported, with an increase of 37.9% annually
produced over 1.43 million tons of polysilicon last year, representing 66.9% annual increase
solar cell output went up by 64.9% to exceed 545 GW during the reported year. Only 39.3 GW of this was exported, accounting for a 65.5% annual increase.
As of 2023-end, the association counts China’s cumulative production capacity of polysilicon as exceeding 1.88 million tons, 892 GW for silicon wafers, 844 GW for cells and over 861 GW for modules.
