The most interesting thing is the growth

China reached its first 1 GW of installed solar in 2010

10 GW by mid-2013.

By June 2017, total installed capacity exceeded 100 GW

China has reached 1 TW of installed solar mid 2025

Got chatgpt to plot and to extrapolate

Look at the left side of the first graph. It’s set on an exponential scale.
