China Smashes Solar Installation Record

  • China installed a record 93 gigawatts of solar capacity in May 2025, surpassing its previous monthly high and all other nations' full-year 2024 totals.
  • This surge followed a rush to install before June 1 policy changes removed pricing protections and a May 1 rule tightened rooftop panel grid connections.
  • Between January and May 2025, China expanded its solar power capacity by almost 198 GW and its wind power by an additional 46 GW, generating enough electricity to meet the demands of nations such as Indonesia.
  • As of the end of May, China’s total installed solar power capacity surpassed 1.08 terawatts, accounting for nearly half of the world’s solar developments, while the country experienced a drop in carbon emissions despite growing energy consumption.
  • Despite the rapid clean energy growth and reduced coal reliance, major Chinese solar manufacturers suffered billion-dollar losses amid price wars, signaling financial strain in the sector.
