Global solar capacity additions reached 690 GW in 2025, a 15% increase over 2024, with China installing 60% of new capacity. Distributed solar installations hit a record 282 GW, while battery storage deployment grew over 25-fold in five years across Europe, Canada, and the US.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Solar capacity growth is shifting fast from centralised projects to distributed and battery-backed systems, opening fresh routes for you in storage services and flexible grid tech. China’s manufacturing dominance is easing—this is your chance to grow production or supply chains outside China with rising demand worldwide.
