Solar energy share tripled from 4. Credit: Nordic Studio/Shutterstock. . The Chinese solar industry is at a pivotal point. Rapid solar capacity expansion overwhelms the grid, PV manufacturers compete for market shares, and then large target markets slap import tariffs on Chinese PV products, taking off their competitive edge. So there is a lot of uncertainty in the. . Wind and solar surpassed a quarter of China's electricity generation for the first time in April 2025. Its PV capacity crossed 1,000 gigawatt (one terawatt, 1 TW) in May 2025. China was responsible for installing a massive 256 GW of that solar capacity. It was the largest country by electricity demand.
