According to the National Energy Board revealed that in 2016, China 's new solar photovoltaic installed capacity of 34.2 GW, more than expected.
National Energy Board said that in 2016, the country's new grid-connected solar photovoltaic installed capacity of 34.24 GW, far more than expected, compared with the previous years installed capacity increased 126%. At this point, the national total installed capacity of solar photovoltaic 77.42 GW.
In the first half of 2016, China has completed a new grid-connected solar installed capacity of 22 GW, of which only in June, the new 11.3 GW.
Energy Bureau said that in promoting the continuous development of solar photovoltaic industry at the same time, the state has also increased investment in infrastructure for the grid to achieve more installed capacity of solar photovoltaic power generation, reducing the rate of abandonment, improve energy efficiency.
