China’s utility solar market continues to dominate globally, growing at a CAGR of around 16%. It is powered by aggressive government targets, domestic manufacturing strength, and ambitious carbon neutrality goals. Key drivers include cost competitiveness, large-scale investments, and strong policy support. However, restraints such as curtailment issues and regional disparities in grid access persist. Opportunities arise in solar-plus-storage and green hydrogen integration. Trends include ultra-large solar bases in desert regions and vertical integration across the supply chain. China's leadership in renewable innovation ensures sustained momentum despite geopolitical and trade-related uncertainties.
