4 FAQs about Solar power generation in September

How much solar power does China have in September?

China's NEA said the country added 20.89 GW of new solar capacity in September, a 27% month-on-month increase. From January to September, newly installed PV capacity totaled around 160 GW. By the end of September, China's total installed power generation capacity reached 3.16 TW, up 14.1% year-on-year.

How much solar capacity did the world add in 2025?

In the first six months of 2025, the world added 380 GW of new solar capacity — 64% higher than during the same period in 2024, when 232 GW were installed. In 2024, it took until September for global solar capacity additions to surpass 350 GW, while in 2025, the milestone was reached in June.

When will solar power reach 350 GW?

In 2024, it took until September for global solar capacity additions to surpass 350 GW, while in 2025, the milestone was reached in June. The rapid expansion of solar capacity in recent years has made it the fastest growing source of new electricity generation.

Will solar power and wind power grow in 2027?

We expect the combined share of generation from solar power and wind power to rise from about 18% in 2025 to about 21% in 2027. In our STEO forecast, utility-scale solar is the fastest-growing source of electricity generation in the United States, increasing from 290 BkWh in 2025 to 424 BkWh by 2027.
