In H1 2025, the world added 380 gigawatts (GW) of new solar capacity – a staggering 64% jump compared to the same period in 2024, when 232 GW came online. China was responsible for installing a massive 256 GW of that solar capacity.
[pdf] Solar is on an impressive growth ramp, reaching 91 GW of cumulative capacity by the end of 2023 and 121 GW by the end of 2024. EIA expects 26.3% growth in installations in 2025, reaching 153 GW of installed capacity through the end of the year.
[pdf] The global solar container market is expected to grow from USD 0.29 billion in 2025 to USD 0.83 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 23.8% during the forecast period. Growth is driven by the rising adoption of off-grid and hybrid power solutions, especially in remote, disaster-prone, and developing regions.
[pdf] Described as Zambia's inaugural solar facility equipped with battery storage, the project holds an estimated value of $65 million. It is slated to commence commercial operations by September 2025, aiming to supply electricity to a minimum of 65,000 households. [pdf]
[pdf] That''s Honiara, the capital of Solomon Islands, until the 15 MW Honiara Solar Power Station began operations in 2023. This project isn''t just about panels and inverters – it''s rewriting the rules of energy independence for small island nations.
[pdf] At 391 megawatts, the new floating array will be the centerpiece of the forthcoming Pleasure Island Power Collective, a combination energy and data center project to be constructed in the city of Port Arthur, Texas.
