China has officially surpassed 1 Terawatt (TW), or 1,000 Gigawatts, of installed solar capacity—a monumental achievement that cements its leadership in the global energy transition.

The momentum is staggering: in just the first five months of 2025, the country added nearly 200 GW of new solar installations. This growth is highlighted by an extraordinary single-month record of 92.9 GW in May alone, representing a year-on-year surge of approximately 57%.

This milestone is the result of a powerful, synergistic framework:

Strong Policy Support: Consistent national targets and regulatory frameworks have created a predictable and robust market.

Unmatched Manufacturing & Supply Chain Strength: From polysilicon to modules—and including critical Balance of System components like high-performance solar mounting structures—China's integrated industrial ecosystem delivers scale, reliability, and cost-efficiency.

Efficient Deployment: A mature EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) sector enables the rapid translation of manufacturing output into grid-connected projects.

With solar now representing the fastest-growing segment of China's 3.61 TW total power capacity, this isn't just a national achievement—it's a global benchmark. It showcases an unprecedented ability to scale clean energy infrastructure, which is crucial for meeting climate goals.

For the industry, this trajectory signals sustained, long-term demand for quality components and solutions across the value chain, particularly for innovations in solar mounting systems that can support large-scale, diverse, and efficient deployments.
This milestone reinforces that the acceleration of renewable energy is not just possible—it's happening at scale.
