Chinese solar exports doubled in a single month to reach a record high in March as the energy crisis sparked by the US-Israeli war on Iran accelerated demand for alternatives to oil and gas across Asia, Africa and beyond, according to an energy think tank.
The exports reached 68 gigawatt (GW) in March – equivalent to Spain's entire solar capacity – surpassing the previous record set in August 2025 by 49 per cent, Ember said.
