🌞 Record in China: +93 GW of solar in May 2025 – a colossal leap

The pace at which China is expanding its renewable energy capacity continues to astonish the world. In May 2025 alone, the country installed 93 GW of solar and 26 GW of wind , according to recently released figures. This equates to about 100 solar panels being installed every second across China. This boom propels China past the 1,000 GW mark in cumulative solar capacity , accounting for nearly half of the world's total solar power.

📊 Focus on the figures

• 93 GW of solar = more than the total installed capacity of countries like Germany or India in one month.

• 1,000 GW of solar in total in China.

• China installed more solar power in one month than the entire European Union did in all of 2023.

🔍 Why this acceleration?

Several factors explain this impressive dynamic:

• Strong political will : China aims for carbon neutrality before 2060.

• Massive investments : local subsidies, banking support, aggressive industrial policy.

• Technological leadership : global dominance in the production of photovoltaic cells, wafers and inverters.

⚠️ Issues and limits

This rapid growth, however, raises challenges:

• Pressure on the margins of Chinese manufacturers who sometimes sell at a loss.

• Local saturation : some provinces produce more renewable electricity than the grid can absorb.

• Quality vs. volume : the race for performance can sacrifice the durability of facilities.

🌍 What lesson for Europe and Heliopack?

This push from China shows that a rapid energy transition is possible with the right tools, goodwill, and strategic support. In Europe, although the pace is different, the momentum remains positive. For Heliopack, this reinforces the importance of:

• Offer reliable solutions, adapted to local needs.

• Closely monitor technological innovations to offer the best to customers.

• Democratize solar energy by making it accessible and easy to install.
