China's dominance in the solar energy industry is evident, with the country controlling around 80% of the world's solar panel supply chain. As of 2022, China's total installed capacity of solar energy stands at 393 GW, nearly double that of the EU and more than three times that of the USA. The country's solar industry also employs a significant number of individuals, with 2.76 million jobs in 2022.
