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.

    The most interesting thing is the growth

    China reached its first 1 GW of installed solar in 2010

    10 GW by mid-2013.

    By June 2017, total installed capacity exceeded 100 GW

    China has reached 1 TW of installed solar mid 2025
