In 2025 China installed over 500GW of solar power. That is an insane amount it’s over 1.3 gigawatts a day or a large power plant per day. Sodium batteries have gone into production and gonna be sold at like 50$/kwh. These price points and scales are where it’s cheaper to build 2 times your power needed in solar and have like a week of battery backup so you can power everything off solar and wind. Right now it’s 60/40 fossil fuels/low carbon sources for electricity production, 2026 will be the year it flips to 49/51 in actuality, it might take a year or two before analysts actually realize it has happened.
