    A lot of those projects are rushing to get ahead of tariffs and to maintain the Biden subsidies that the GOP repealed. Those numbers will be artificially high for this year and likely into the next, but then drop. They wont stop, as solar is still much cheaper than any other power source, but with the GOP trying to kill it, they will slow.

    China is just accelerating. They already have more solar than the rest of the world combined, and the lead is extending. Even with countries like Pakistan going parabolically solar, mainly from buying 10% off all Chinese solar exports, China continues to deploy just insane amount of panels.
