For comparison, the US has ~73GW of total utility-scale solar installed. This single factory is going to produce about enough panels to be 3/4 of the total US installed base each year.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
JinkoSolar has started building a 56 GW vertically integrated module factory in Shanxi province.
Each phase will include 14 GW for the integration of ingots, wafers, solar cells, and modules.
The plant, with a design capacity of 14 GW of solar cells, is located in the Southeast Economic Zone of Nghe An province, on 50 hectares across two phases.
The initial phase, set for completion in the fourth quarter of 2024, will cover 30 hectares with a total investment exceeding $450 million.
Irico Group New Energy said it expects an upward trend in glass prices to improve sales results in the year ahead, with additional growth anticipated when its Jiangxi photovoltaic project commences production.
It looks at the potential for sodium-ion to topple lithium-ion, explores compressed air technology, and considers the best approaches for solar and storage in Africa.

That’s insane amount.
I just seen what you compared it to. But I got my own.
In 2022 excudling China. The next highest installers for that year were USA, India, Brazil, Neatherlands and Germany. Total installed in 2022 55.82GW
