The headline is about 80-85% bullshit.
Solar power capacity in China stood at 1,286 gigawatts (GW) at the end of July, Chinese media cited the country's National Energy Administration as saying on Tuesday.
Thus, solar capacity accounted for 31.5% of total installed power generation in China as of July 31.
In July, Chinese authorities said that China would have more installed solar power capacity than coal-fired generation capacity as early as this quarter.
As of the end of June, solar power capacity stood at 1,274 GW, just below the total coal-fired installed capacity of 1,275 GW....
Reality check?
Typically, solar panels operate at about 15% to 20% efficiency, meaning they convert that percentage of sunlight into usable electricity....
"Capacity" means nothing. "Deliverable" is what counts, and "deliverable" is only 15-20% of "capacity."
