installation figures

The passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) in July 2025 is expected to slow down the pace of US community solar through 2030.

India installed 14.3GW of new utility-scale solar capacity in the first half (H1) of 2025, marking a 49% increase year-on-year.

China has added 11.04GW of solar PV capacity in July 2025, a 48% decrease from the same period a year ago, according to data from China's National Energy Administration.

During H1 2025, China has added 211.61GW of new PV capacity, more than doubling last year's figures when installs reached 102.5GW in H1 2024.

Despite strong numbers forecast for 2025, this would represent a year-on-year decline from China's 277GW of solar PV installed in 2024.

China added 102.48GW of new PV installations between January and June 2024, according to the latest data from China's National Energy Administration.

In June 2024, rooftop solar PV installations in Australia dropped to their lowest point since January, with 247MW installed.

Solar accounted for 53% of all new electricity-generating capacity in 2023, making up over half of new generating capacity for the first time.

Continuing a downward trend of capacity additions, India has added 1.7GW of solar capacity in the second quarter of 2023, according to consultancy Mercom India Research.

As solar PV continues its accelerated growth, 2023 is expected to be no exception with 270GW of capacity to be added, according to Wood Mackenzie.
