In May 2025 alone, China added 93 gigawatts of solar capacity, which translates to nearly 100 new solar panels per second, alongside 26 gigawatts of wind capacity, amounting to about 5,300 newly installed wind turbines.
Home » Renewables » “Just staggering:” China installs 100 solar panels a second as total PV capacity tops 1 terawatt China’s cumulative solar capacity has surpassed one terawatt (1TW), after the addition of a 198 gigawatts (GW) of new PV capacity so far this year, including a “staggering” 93 GW in May alone.
China remains the global leader of this surge. In the first half of 2025, its installations more than doubled compared with the same period last year. As a result, China added more than twice as much solar capacity as the rest of the world combined, making up 67% of the global total.
To put that into perspective, Lauri Myllyvirta, a senior fellow at the Asia Society Policy Institute, explained on his LinkedIn account that the solar capacity installed in May worked out to around 230 million solar panels – “almost 100 solar panels every second.”
