China represented majority of the solar PV tasks, with 4.6 million tasks, a 66% boost from the 2.76 million tasks in 2022. Its development in renewables tasks was mainly driven by the nation’s development in solar PV additions in 2015 and the ever-increasing capability growths on the production front. A capability development that is set to continue this year and reach 1.2 TW of yearly nameplate capability throughout the worth chain, doubling BloombergNEF’s projection worldwide set up capability in 2024.
The split in between production tasks and building and setup, consisting of operations and upkeep, in China is rather comparable with 2.37 million and 2.22 million, respectively.
