Wind and solar surpassed a quarter of China's electricity generation for the first time in April 2025. China is the largest market in the world for both photovoltaics (PV) and solar thermal energy. Its PV capacity crossed 1,000 gigawatts (one terawatt, 1 TW). . China installed a record 315 GW (AC) of new solar capacity in 2025, lifting cumulative installed PV capacity to 1. China's National Energy Administration (NEA) released its 2025 power sector statistics on Jan. 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. It's a stunning visual, but it doesn't even begin to capture the staggering amount of solar power being produced by the People's Republic. The report provides a comprehensive overview of PV market development. .

Private investors eyeing solar energy have three prime destinations: Bumthang, Wangdue, and Trongsa. Together, these dzongkhags hold the highest potential—2,099 megawatts (MW), 1,266MW, and 1,221MW respectively—according to the new National Solar Energy Roadmap (NSER). . While Bhutan is known for its hydropower, it also receives strong solar radiation, especially in its lower altitude and southern regions. Key Solar Irradiation Data: These levels make Bhutan suitable for off-grid PV, rooftop solar, and hybrid systems, especially in places where extending the grid. . Bhutan has launched its National Solar Energy Roadmap to diversify its energy sources and bolster energy security amid rising electricity demand. A utility-scale solar facility generates solar power and feeds it into the grid. Bhutan inaugurated its first-ever utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant on July 19 in Yongtru village, Sephu Gewog. . This has led to increased reliance on fossil fuel-derived energy imports from India, jeopardising Bhutan's carbon neutrality commitments outlined in its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and Long-Term Strategy (LTS).
