The jump followed the US-Iran war’s disruption of oil flows, which pushed buyers toward renewable alternatives.

China set export records in 55 countries, highlighting how geopolitical shocks can speed up clean-energy adoption.

The boom could also help China absorb some of its solar manufacturing overcapacity.
