Chinese companies are experiencing significant growth in the export of clean energy technologies. During the third quarter of 2026, energy storage system firms saw overseas markets account for approximately 93% of total contract volume, with Europe and the Middle East driving over 70% of this demand. Notable contracts include a 11.275GWh deal by BYD in the UAE and a 6GWh order by Gotion High Tech in Saudi Arabia.

In September 2026, solar module exports rose 45% month-on-month to approximately 22.13 GW, largely fueled by a 153% increase in deliveries to the Middle East. While cumulative solar exports for the first nine months of 2026 were 12% lower than the previous year, other sectors showed robust year-on-year growth: electric vehicle exports rose 61%, wind turbine exports increased by 45%, and battery exports grew by 39%.
