The world added a record 664GW of new solar PV capacity in 2025, pushing cumulative global operational solar capacity above 3TW.

Australia's large-scale renewables pipeline has reached 32,277MW of probable generation capacity, according to the Clean Energy Regulator.

In our latest article in the NEM Data Spotlight Series, we observe that March saw declines in both utility-scale and rooftop solar.
