4 Frequently Asked Questions about “Solar power generation record for the whole year - Inala Strategic Solar”
Are global solar installations on track for another record year?
Global solar installations are on track for another record year. 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.
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.
Is solar power the fastest growing power generation technology?
Solar experienced the fastest growth among all power generation technologies in terms of electricity output, three times as much as wind power, which was ranked second. As if that weren't enough, global installed solar capacity surpassed 2 TW in 2024. It took nearly 70 years to reach the first terawatt, but only two more to double it.
