China built nearly 31 gigawatts (GW) of new solar power capacity from January to June, up 137% from a year earlier, with full-year installations on course to hit a record high, an industry group said on Thursday.

Wang Bohua, Honorary President of the China Photovoltaic Industry Association, said in a presentation that the total solar power capacity increased by 25.8% compared to last year, reaching 340 GW. Total installations over the year are expected to be between 75 GW and 90 GW in 2022, Wang said, beating last year’s record of 54.9 GW.

It is stated that this year, the solar energy capacity in China will increase by 75-90 thousand MW, breaking a record.

While solar power capacity in China is predicted to reach a record level with new investments that will come into operation this year, according to the China Photovoltaic Industry Association (CPIA) data, it is predicted that China’s solar power capacity will increase by 75-90 GW in 2022.

CPIA President Wang Bohua emphasized that China has the opportunity to increase its solar power capacity by 83-99,000 MW each year in the period 2022-2025.

LG Electronics Inc. (LG) will close its solar panel business, and the decision was recently approved by the board of directors. The decision was made as uncertainties in the global solar panel business continue to rise due to various contributing factors, including intensified price competition and rising raw material costs.

LG will continue to stand behind its brand, and the company will continue to support existing LG solar panel users for a while after the business shuts down.

Extracting 250 thousand tons of salt from its basins every year, Kenya is one of the leading salt producers in East Africa, while these Kenya-based companies managed to reduce their carbon footprints by 25% in cooperation with Japan.

One of these organizations, Krystalline Salt, is Kenya’s largest industrial solar power plant.
working with one of the systems. The Japan-funded solar power plant produces 1.6 gigawatt-hours of clean energy annually.

The solar power plant increased the company’s production capacity and saved electricity costs.

BP’s joint solar venture, Lightsource BP, will more than double its global expansion by 2025 after clinching a financing deal worth $1.8bn (£1.3bn) to develop enough solar farms to power the equivalent of 8.4m homes.

The fast-growing operation had initially set a target to develop arrays of panels with a total capacity of 10 gigawatts by 2023, enough for almost 3.4m homes, but the fresh funds will be used to turbocharge its ambition to 25GW by 2025.
