China China solar power to battery exporter

How many GW of solar power does China Export?

In August alone, China exported 46 gigawatts (GW) of solar PV – more than Australia’s entire installed solar capacity – setting a record in capacity terms. However, their dollar value remains 47% below their March 2023 peak. Falling prices have fueled growth in new regions.

How much battery material does China Import & Export?

China imported almost 12 million short tons of raw and processed battery minerals, accounting for 44% of interregional trade, and exported almost 11 million short tons of battery materials, packs, and components, or 58% of interregional trade in 2023, according to regional UN Comtrade data.

Are solar PV exports worth more than EVs & batteries?

Other sectors saw more modest growth – grid technology up 22%, wind up 16%, and heating and cooling systems up 4% – but those gains were offset by a 19% drop in solar PV export value. EVs and batteries are now worth more than double the value of China’s solar PV exports.

What are China's new lithium battery export control measures?

China has announced new export control measures targeting a wide range of lithium battery technologies, materials, and manufacturing equipment. The controls cover three major categories: high-performance lithium-ion batteries, cathode materials and precursors, and graphite-based anode materials.
