"A UK-based research team found that aerosols reduced global solar electricity output by 5.8% (111 TWh) in 2023. China accounted for 54.9% of the global total loss but is the only major region showing a decline in annual losses. The study highlights the impact of coal-fired power plant pollution on nearby solar installations."
