From 2018 through 2022, solar parts were the dominant export earner among China's clean energy suite, but since then a drop-off in solar sales as key markets hit saturation point has meant that batteries are now in the top spot.

Why does China Export solar panels & modules?

China maintained its dominant grip on the export of solar panels and modules: The total solar module exports from China in 2023 amounted to around 220 Gigawatts (GW) of generation capacity, up 33.5 per cent from 2022 (when about 164 GW capacity was exported), possibly driven by global markets’ efforts to expand clean energy generation.

As more markets continue to adopt local content requirements (LCRs), China will start to face increasing constraints for solar exports. In response to growing LCRs, Chinese players are globalising manufacturing capacity to offset a loss in exports. Europe, the US, and Southeast Asia are among the top markets for Chinese manufacturing investment.
