China and India are already major drivers for the development of renewable energy on a global scale. After increasing the installed capacity of solar power with 15.2 GW in 2015 alone, China has surpassed Germany and become the top country for total solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity, with approximately 19% of the global capacity (REN21,2016). India is also taking leadership in renewable energy development, ranking fifth globally for additions of both solar power and wind power in 2015. The massive deployment of renewable energy in these two countries has had powerful impacts on driving down costs for renewables, reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and creating green jobs.
