The total solar capacity added from January to May 2025 reached nearly 198 gigawatts, marking a remarkable 388% increase from the same period in 2024, a year when China had already set a record for renewable power installations for the second consecutive year. Additionally, during this timeframe, wind energy capacity increased by 46 gigawatts.
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 company executives.
Photovoltaic (PV) technologies dominate China’s solar industry, with roughly 99% of China’s solar power capacity. Chinese PV manufacturing accounts for the vast majority of global PV production.
and GIZ analysis, March 2024The development of wind power and solar PV in China is mainly driven by policies. The most important top-level policy documents in the field of renewable energy are the "14th Five-Year Plan for Modern Energy System" and the "14th Five-Year
