4 FAQs about 20GW of solar power stations put into operation

How much solar capacity did the world add in 2025?

In the first six months of 2025, the world added 380 GW of new solar capacity — 64% higher than during the same period in 2024, when 232 GW were installed. In 2024, it took until September for global solar capacity additions to surpass 350 GW, while in 2025, the milestone was reached in June.

When will solar power reach 350 GW?

In 2024, it took until September for global solar capacity additions to surpass 350 GW, while in 2025, the milestone was reached in June. The rapid expansion of solar capacity in recent years has made it the fastest growing source of new electricity generation.

Will planned solar projects lead to continued growth in China's solar capacity?

Planned solar capacity projects will likely lead to continued growth in China's solar capacity. More than 720 GW of solar capacity are in development: about 250 GW under construction, nearly 300 GW in pre-construction phases, and 177 GW of announced projects, according to the Global Solar Power Tracker compiled by Global Energy Monitor.

How much solar capacity will China have in 2024?

The 277 GW of utility-scale solar capacity installed in China in 2024 alone is more than twice as much as the 121 GW of utility-scale solar capacity installed in the United States at the end of 2024. Planned solar capacity projects will likely lead to continued growth in China's solar capacity.
