New figures show the world added around 690 gigawatts of solar power capacity in 2025, according to reporting by pv magazine. The total underscores the continued rapid expansion of solar energy worldwide, as installations keep outpacing forecasts driven by falling costs and strong demand in major markets. Industry observers are weighing what the record-scale buildout means for grids, fossil fuel demand and global climate targets.

A U.S. research team reports a stability record for a 2D/3D tin perovskite solar cell with an efficiency of 16.19%. The cell is lead-free, which matters because tin perovskites are seen as a less toxic alternative to lead-based designs, but they have historically degraded quickly. The claim, covered by pv magazine USA, suggests progress in combining decent efficiency with long-term durability.
