China's solar energy utilization industry has developed into a considerable-scaled industry, and the industry has to face fierce market competition and structural adjustment. In order to promote the healthy development of domestic solar energy industry, based on an analysis of China's solar energy resources and industrial characteristics, this paper analyzes the key technologies, core equipment and market situation of solar thermal and technologies of photovoltaic power generation, respectively. Moreover, it points out that the integration of solar energy buildings and multi-energy complementation will be the future trend of solar energy utilization technology, which lays an important foundation for the development of multi-level and diversified solar energy utilization in China.
