Pakistan Becomes Asia’s Largest Market for Chinese Solar Modules

Uncategorized / By

Pakistan has emerged as the largest market in Asia for Chinese solar modules, importing 10,450 MW in the first half of 2024. This increase is part of a larger trend, as China exported a record 120,427 MW of solar capacity worldwide during the same period, driven by significant price reductions. While the Netherlands remains the
