According to the latest briefing from Asia Europe Clean Energy Consultants (AECEA), Chinais likely to install more than 50 GW of PV in 2017, a second consecutive record breaking year for the world’s leading market.

China looks set to defy all earlier expectations, and install an enormous 50 GW of new solar by the end of the year.

AECEA’ latest figures show that up to the end of September,China’s newly added capacity for the year amounted to roughly 42 GW – placingChina’s total PV capacity at around 120 GW. This would mean that an average of just 2.7 GW/month would be needed to breach 50 GW by the end of the year.
