China s solar power generation ranks first in the world
As of 2023, China has the largest solar energy capacity in the world at 609,921 megawatts (MW), contributing approximately 3% to the country's total electricity production. It is followed by the United States at 139,205 MW and Japan at 89,077 MW. . Utility-scale solar and wind power capacity in the top ten countries broken down by status, in gigawatts (GW) Source: Global Solar Power Tracker, Global Wind Power Tracker, Global Energy Monitor Data includes solar project phases with capacity of 20 megawatts (MW) or more and wind project phases. . In H1 2025, the world added 380 gigawatts (GW) of new solar capacity – a staggering 64% jump compared to the same period in 2024, when 232 GW came online. China was responsible for installing a massive 256 GW of that solar capacity. For context, it took until September last year to pass the 350 GW. . According to a 2024 report by the World Bank, off-grid solar has the potential to bring electricity to nearly 400 million people worldwide for the first time by 2030. 29 -- China's combined installed capacity of wind and solar power has exceeded 1,800 gigawatts for the first time last year, as its gap with thermal power, whose primary sources are fossil fuels, continues to expand.
