Installed capacity of solar energy utilization system

4 FAQs about [Installed capacity of solar energy utilization system]

How is the capacity utilization factor of a solar power plant calculated?

The capacity utilization factor (CUF) of a solar power plant is calculated by dividing the actual energy generated by the plant over a given time period, by the maximum possible energy that could have been generated at the plant’s rated capacity over that same time period. It is calculated using the following formula: Where:

How many solar panels were installed in 2024?

In 2024, global cumulative PV capacity reached over 2.2 TW, with China alone surpassing 1 TW. At least 554 GW of new PV systems were commissioned in 2024, possibly reaching 601.9 GW. China installed up to 357.3 GW, accounting for almost 60% of new global capacity.

Does China have more utility-scale solar?

China has more utility-scale solar than any other country. The 277 GW of utility-scale solar capacity installed in China in 2024 alone is more than twice as much as the 121 GW of utility-scale solar capacity installed in the United States at the end of 2024.

How many GW of solar power are there in 2024?

PV supplied more than 10% of global electricity consumption for the first time, cementing its position as a central pillar of the global energy transition. In 2024, global cumulative PV capacity reached over 2.2 TW, with China alone surpassing 1 TW. At least 554 GW of new PV systems were commissioned in 2024, possibly reaching 601.9 GW.
