China’s National Energy Administration published its official solar statistics for 2017 on Monday, revealing that the country had installed a total of 52.83 gigawatts worth of new solar capacity in 2017.
After continued strong performance and ever-increasing expectations, Bloomberg New Energy Finance has this week elevated its 2017 solar installation forecast for China to record highs of 54 GW.
China has had a fantastically impressive year so far in terms of solar installations, and it doesn’t look like it is planning on stopping anytime soon, as the country managed to install 10.52 GW worth of new solar capacity in July alone.
