A dated project-list snapshot
An industry report published on 28 April 2026 describes a compilation of key-project lists from 20 provinces. It reports 627 PV projects and more than 58.7 GW of capacity for entries that could be counted. The report's own framing makes clear that the capacity figure is partial: the project count and capacity subtotal do not have identical coverage.
This is a secondary project-list compilation, not a national installed-capacity statistic and not a measure of projects commissioned during 2026. The underlying entries can represent different administrative, financing, construction and operating stages. Treat the figures as a dated development snapshot and preserve the original source attribution.
Normalize status before comparing capacity
Before adding entries, record the project name, province, developer, phase, source date, latest documented status and capacity basis. Check for renamed projects, duplicated phases and repeated provincial announcements. If a source does not say whether a figure is AC export capacity or DC module capacity, do not infer a conversion ratio.
A listed project is not automatically approved, financed, under construction or connected to the grid. Keep those statuses as separate fields so later announcements can update the register without rewriting what the original compilation said on its publication date.
Translate a pipeline into procurement evidence
A project list can help teams decide what to monitor, but a headline capacity alone does not establish the timing or specification of an equipment order. Procurement planning becomes more concrete when site approvals, grid arrangements, the single-line diagram, voltage class, string configuration and delivery schedule are available.
When a project moves to a later milestone, cite that new record separately. This preserves the usefulness of the April compilation while preventing a development pipeline from being presented as operating generation or confirmed supplier demand.
Frequently asked questions
Does the reported 58.7 GW mean new operating capacity?
No. It is a reported subtotal for entries with countable capacity in a project-list compilation, not a national commissioned-capacity figure.
Does the 627-project count cover the same entries as the capacity subtotal?
The report describes a partial capacity tally. Keep the project count and countable-capacity subtotal as measures with different coverage.
Can listed capacity be used to estimate combiner-box orders?
Not by itself. Confirm project status, design, electrical configuration and schedule before estimating equipment requirements.
