“In absolute terms, Ember expects solar to rise by 28%, from 157 TWh in June 2023 to 201 TWh in June 2024.”
The headline number is 20% at the midday peak on the longest day. The honest number is 8.2% of global electricity for June, up from 6.7% a year earlier. China installed 152% more solar capacity in 2023 than in 2022 and makes 36% of the world’s solar power. The fastest-growing grid source has one country doing most of the growing.
