JinkoSolar shipped a record 99.6GW of products in 2024, but its operations delivered losses for the first time in the last five years.

The world added 451.9GW of new solar capacity in 2024, accounting for three-quarters of all new renewable power capacity commissioned last year.

Europe saw a 4% month-on-month decline in number of power purchase agreements (PPAs) signed in February 2025, according to Pexapark.

Keith McIntosh of PV Lighthouse describes why energy yield forecasts are underestimated, and how the PV industry is improving forecasts.

The world added 553GW of new solar capacity in 2024, although renewable power accounts for a fraction of the world’s electricity generation.

Solar and storage projects accounted for 84% of electricity generating capacity added in 2024, with solar seeing 50GW of new capacity.

Europe’s solar manufacturing sector heavily favours downstream products such as cells and modules, according to SolarPower Europe.

Asset underperformance cost the global solar sector a record US$10 billion in lost revenue in 2024, according to Raptor Maps.

Europe’s solar buyers are showing increased optimism for the sector, in spite of fluctuations in module prices across technologies.

According to Solargis CEO Marcel Suri, solar industry professionals must adopt more granular datasets to improve accuracy.
