China also manufactures a substantial portion of the world's solar panels and continues to invest in large-scale solar and wind projects. These include the Solar Great Wall, which is set to open in the upcoming years.
Beijing is set to further increase its manufacturing and installation of solar panels as it seeks to master global markets and wean itself from imports. China unleashed the full might of its solar energy industry last year. It installed more solar panels than the United States has in its history.
Also, the elevated panels create shade that slows evaporation and may make it easier to grow pasture grasses and other crops beneath them. Analysis of Landsat data indicates that solar projects have contributed to the greening of deserts in other parts of China in recent years. Since 2024 China leads the world in solar energy production
