Understanding year-on-year solar radiation variability is critical for optimising solar projects, particularly amid climate change.

The world reached 2.2TW of cumulative installed solar capacity in 2024, with China alone accounting for 1TW of total operating capacity.

The world’s cumulative installed solar generation capacity has doubled between 2022 and 2024, to reach over 2,000TWh, according to Ember.

As solar projects become more complex, Typical Meteorological Year data is holding the industry back, according to Solargis' Marcel Suri.

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.
