    Ok, there are no numbers from 2024 yet in the source.

    I think the solar capacity in 2023 for China was 525GW.

    So a 277 GW increase in solar means it increased by (277 / 525) 52.76% (that’s great!)

    That same percentage increase over the current value in terms of production would not make it rise past Australia per capita yet, but nobody can deny that’s an impressive pace.

    Also, considering that the trend in population numbers for China is slowly starting to decrease, that could also contribute to an increase in the per capita numbers in the future.
