China produced 59 gigawatts (GW) worth of solar panels in the first half of the year, up 15.7% from a year ago, an official with the country's solar industry association said on Wednesday, with the sector barely affected by the coronavirus outbreak.

Wang Bohua, vice-chairman of the China Photovoltaic Industry Association, told an online briefing that newly installed solar power capacity also inched up 0.9% in the first half, reaching 11.5 GW. The full-year increase is expected to reach 35-45 GW, he said. Many plants can now operate without subsidy, with 36 GW of the projects approved so far this year set to sell power to the grid at the same price as coal-fired plants, up 145% compared with last year, Wang said.

However, the coronavirus outbreak also had an impact on the costs of raw materials in the first half, he said.
