China installed a record 315 GW (AC) of new solar capacity in 2025, lifting cumulative installed PV capacity to 1. 2 TW and pushing non-fossil power sources past thermal generation for the first time.
Federal permitting actions remain unclear and Treasury guidance on Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC) requirements is still months away. From 2025-2030, our base case outlook puts total solar deployments at 246 GWdc - virtually unchanged from our Q3 2025 outlook.
Every solar project passes through the same three gates: NTP, PTO, and COD. These are contractual milestones that trigger payments, start warranty clocks, and determine when revenue begins flowing.

These solar projects are expected to rehabilitate 7,000 sq km of desert, where desertified land was 26. China has installed 1 GW solar farms in Ningxia and Majiatan under Baofeng's 30 GW target, combining power generation with land rehabilitation to.
CSP technologies use mirrors to reflect and concentrate sunlight onto a receiver. This heat - also known as thermal energy - can be used to spin a turbine or power an engine to generate.
Solar didn't just show up in 2025 - it carried the grid. A new analysis from global energy think tank Ember shows that solar power accounted for 61% of the growth in US electricity demand last year, highlighting how central solar has become as power demand accelerates.
The latest update contains project-level data on 1,760 solar projects installed through 2024. These data are made available in several formats, including a summary slide deck, a public data file with non-confidential data on 57 tabs and additional visualizations.
During this period, major developments have occurred in the solar PV industry and in related policy areas including (1) a greater than 80% reduction in component and systems costs; (2) enactment of laws modifying federal support for solar PV, including tax incentives; (3).
