According to the Zhitong Finance and Economics App, despite the shift in policies of some major economies, the global solar energy industry is still expected to maintain high-speed growth. The latest forecast from Goldman Sachs research department shows that by 2030, global solar energy installed capacity will reach 914 gigawatts, a 57% increase from the level in 2024. This optimistic outlook contrasts with current policy adjustments in some countries - China has canceled grid access guarantees for the construction of large-scale commercial and industrial solar projects, and the US federal government is also reviewing and implementing regulations that may create downward pressure on solar installations starting from 2028.
