China Installs 7+ Gigawatts Solar in first 3 months of 2017 [View all]

My summary:
Total 2017 added solar capacity looks to exceed 40GW

Cumulative solar capacity to end of 1Q2017 stands at 85GW

Grid integration for both wind and solar lags the frenetic rate of installation

New build renewables and economic slowdown resulting in "under-utilization" of existing generation system.
