Installed solar photovoltaic capacity by selected economy, end-2025, GW; shares use world total.
Installed solar PV capacity compares China, India and the G7 economies at end-2025, measured in gigawatts. The graphic ranks nine same-source IRENA rows within the selected economy frame and plots raw capacity values. China ranks first at 1,200.4 GW, ahead of the United States at 210.1 GW and India at 135.2 GW. The selected economies account for 77.4 percent of world solar PV capacity, so the frame is not a complete world ranking.
| Rank | Entry | Value | Period |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | China | 1,200.4 | end-2025 |
| 2 | United States | 210.1 | end-2025 |
| 3 | India | 135.2 | end-2025 |
| 4 | Germany | 106.3 | end-2025 |
| 5 | Japan | 92.2 | end-2025 |
| 6 | Italy | 41.2 | end-2025 |
| 7 | France | 31.2 | end-2025 |
| 8 | United Kingdom | 21.7 | end-2025 |
| 9 | Canada | 5.9 | end-2025 |

Dataset/table: Solar photovoltaic CAP (MW)
Units: MW in source, GW in rows

Evidence: Supports 2024 and 2025 installed renewable capacity stocks by source and geography.
This is a selected-economy comparison, not a global top-nine solar PV capacity ranking. Row shares use the IRENA world solar PV capacity denominator where present.
IRENA source MW capacity stocks were converted to GW by dividing by 1,000. Rows are sorted by installed solar photovoltaic capacity within the selected China, India and G7 frame.
All rows use IRENA end-2025 solar photovoltaic CAP (MW) values and the same conversion to GW.
