China''s solar capacity set to overtake coal in ''historic'' shift

“The average capacity factor for solar in China is about 14 per cent and for coal 50 per cent, so coal power plants still generate about 3.5 times as much electricity as solar power.

China''s solar power capacity is on course to surpass coal this year

The nation, which has been massively building out clean electricity, is on track to get about half of its installed generating capacity from solar and wind by the end of the year, the China
