PV systems installed in China in 2013 had a total power-generating capacity of 12.92GWp, consisting of 12.12GWp (95.81%) ground-mounted PV stations and 800MWp (6.19%) distributed (mainly rooftop) PV systems, according to China's National Energy Administration (NEA).
As of the end of 2013, the PV systems already connected to power grids had a total power-generating capacity of 19.42GWp, consisting of 16.32GWp across 741 PV stations and 3.10GWp in distributed PV systems, and generated electricity of nine billion kWh in 2013, NEA indicated.
In terms of installation capacity, about 60% of PV stations are located in the northwestern region, while the eastern region and the northern region account for 46.8% and 15.8% of distributed PV systems, NEA said.
