Pakistan has seen a big jump in installs over the last year. Pakistan is now the third-largest importer of Chinese solar panels, buying an incredible 13 gigawatts (GW) in just the first half of this year. To compare, the United Kingdom is expected to add only 1.5-2GW of solar capacity this year and the United States added 32GW in 2023. This likely makes Pakistan the sixth-largest installer of solar panels in 2024 but locally, the impact is even bigger In six months, Pakistan imported solar capacity equal to 30% of its total power capacity, which was 46GW in 2023. https://www.weforum.org/stories/2024/10/distributed-solar-energy-emerging-economies/ https://www.weforum.org/stories/2024/10/distributed-solar-en...
