4 FAQs about Solar silicon wafer and module exports

How did China's solar cell production perform in 2024?

On a cumulative basis, the 11M 2024 solar cell production rose by 14.8% YoY to 618.55 GW. China's combined crystalline silicon solar module production output within the 10 months of this year rounded up to 453 GW. It exported about 205.9 GW volume.

How much polysilicon did China produce in 2024?

MIIT counts China to have produced about 1.58 million tons of polysilicon during 10M 2024, representing a 39% annual increase. Silicon wafer output totaled close to 608 GW, out of which 53.2 GW was exported.

What are China's solar PV exports?

In 2021, the value of China's solar PV exports was over USD 30 billion, almost 7% of China's trade surplus over the last five years. In addition, Chinese investments in Malaysia and Viet Nam also made these countries major exporters of PV products, accounting for around 10% and 5% respectively of their trade surpluses since 2017.

How much solar energy does China Export?

It exported about 205.9 GW volume. The country's solar PV installations during the same period added up to 181.30 GW (see China's January-October 2024 Solar PV Installations Exceed 180 GW). With another 2 months to go, these figures can be expected to go up further.
