Solar power installations hit new highs
China is on track to set a new record for solar power installations in 2024, driven by falling production costs and increased global interest in renewable energy, said industry experts and
Around 92 GW of new PV systems were installed in China in May alone, but analysts warn the pace may slow in the second half of the year. China's cumulative installed solar capacity has surpassed 1 TW, according to the National Energy Administration (NEA). By the end of May 2025, solar capacity had reached 1.08 TW (1,080 GW), up 56.9% year on year.
For more information, visit China installed a record 60 gigawatts (GW) of new solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity in the first quarter of 2025 – the highest ever recorded in a first quarter in the country's history, according to Rystad Energy research and analysis.
Looking ahead, steady growth in China's annual solar PV capacity is expected until 2030.
