China sets record for solar power installations in May

100 solar panels every second China installed 93 GW of solar capacity last month, almost 100 solar panels every second. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/26/china-breaks-more-records-with-massive-build-up-of-wind-and-solar-power

China Solar and Wind Installations Break More World Records 198 GW of solar PV added Jan-May 2025, a 388% increase versus same period in 2024 46 GW of wind added Jan-May 2025 93 GW of PV (100 panels per second) and 26 GW of wind in May alone www.ecowatch.com/china-solar-and-wind-installations-break-more-world-records.html @EcoWatch

Solar PV made up 81% of new power capacity in 2024, putting it on track to meet the global goal of tripling renewable capacity by 2030. Check out the latest report from @REN21 #GSR2025 www.ren21.net/renewables-2025-global-status-report-global-overview/ pic.x.com/EPVj6MYxRj

China installed enough solar and wind power between January and May to match the total electricity use of countries like Indonesia or Turkey, even as its clean energy industry faces deep financial strain www.dailyclimate.org/china-ramps-up-solar-and-wind-power-as-clean-energy-output-shatters-global-records-2672444824.html
