Technical FAQs 4

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.

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.

What is the global power capacity of 2024?

At the end of 2024, global renewable power capacity amounted to 4 448 GW. Solar, in line with the previous year, accounted for the largest share of the global total, with a capacity of 1 865 GW. Renewable hydropower1 and wind energy accounted for most of the remainder, with total capacities of 1 283 GW and 1 133 GW, respectively.

Which countries added more solar capacity in 2024?

3.1 GW of added solar capacity. Outside Asia, the United States added 38.3 GW of solar capacity in 2024 - a 54.0% increase to that of its 2023 value - followed by Brazil (+ 15.2 GW) and Germany (+15.1 GW). 11.3 GW in 2023. However, 96.0% of the increase comes from China.
