China’s solar power capacity has surpassed 1 TW, marking a historic milestone as the country accelerates its energy transition. 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.

By the end of May 2025, solar capacity had reached 1.08 TW (1,080 GW), up 56.9% year on year.

        Engineer: wow, these new led lights will use a tenth of the electricity our old lights used!

        Boss: So you’re saying we can use ten times as many lights then?
