Japan''s 20gw Perovskite Solar Panels Rival 20
Explore Japan''s 20GW perovskite super solar panel—matching 20 reactors with clean, efficient power for 6M homes and a greener future.
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.
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.
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.
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.
