China put a record number of solar panels on rooftops last year as growth in residential areas outpaced installations on solar farms.
A total of 53 gigawatts of solar capacity was built in 2021, close to the all-time high set in 2017, with more than half coming from rooftop installations, according to the National Energy Administration.
