As of 2023, solar energy accounted for about 4.5% of China's total energy consumption.

In 2024 solar energy could account for around 5-6% of China's total energy consumption.

If they add another 170GW in 2025, the percentage could rise to approximately 6-7%.

They hope by 2026 solar will make up 8-9% of the total energy consumption.

If solar is the future then we are screwed because that isn't fast enough growth... and that is without factoring in the rest of the world who will hit nowhere near those numbers.
