That means China is now installing around 1 million solar panels of 400 Watt each per day, weekends included.
On a per capita basis, the Netherlands has been installing even more solar PV capacity in recent years than China is doing now.
Our 4 GW/year would translate to 320 GW/year for China, while the current 12 GW/ month will "only" get it to 144 GW in a year :)
Nice race developing for new solar PV capacity per capita between China and EU in 2023.
Projected for China: 102 Wp/capita
Forecast EU: 53.6 GW = 120 Wp/capita
