2024 Top 5 Chinese Solar Module Exporter Ranking

Based on China Customs export data and industry research estimates, China's total solar module exports in 2024 are projected to reach approximately 240 GW, with the top five companies exporting a combined 159 GW, accounting for over 66% of the global market share. The ranking and estimated export volumes (in GW) are as follows:

• 1. JinkoSolar: 25.6 GW (10.7% market share)
• 2. Longi Green Energy: 23.4 GW (9.8% market share)
• 3. Trina Solar: 22.1 GW (9.2% market share)
• 4. JA Solar: 20.3 GW (8.5% market share)
• 5. Canadian Solar: 18.7 GW (7.8% market share)

Key Trend Analysis

• Concentration Rising: The top five exporters' share increased from 62% in 2023 to 65%, reflecting an intensifying Matthew effect.
• Regional Distribution: Europe remains the largest export destination (≈45% share), while emerging markets such as the Middle East and Africa show rapid growth.
• Technology Shift: N-type TOPCon modules are gaining share, with JinkoSolar and Trina Solar leading in this segment.
• Trade Barriers: Tariff policies in the U.S. and India continue to affect exports, prompting companies to accelerate overseas factory construction (e.g., Longi in Southeast Asia, JinkoSolar in the U.S.).

Data Notes

• Export volumes are based on publicly disclosed company data and Customs estimates, with a ±5% margin of error.
• Ranking is based on module export volumes (including OEM and own-brand), excluding inverters, mounting structures, and other components.
