World · Installed solar PV capacity

Net maximum electrical capacity of solar PV: build-out pace of the most visible renewable technology.· Every series comes from ONE dataset: the countries Citoyen covers and the world total are read together, from the same source and the same release. « Rest of the world » is the world total minus the 19 countries covered (the European Union is left out, it contains France, Germany and Italy and would be counted twice). The six largest countries on the indicator are drawn on their own, the other covered countries are grouped. A year is drawn only when every country and the world are published: a missing country would otherwise land in « rest of the world » as a fake jump.· Installed solar photovoltaic capacity at the end of the year, in megawatts (Ember yearly electricity data, CC BY 4.0, from IRENA and national sources). Capacity is the maximum output, not the electricity produced.· Licence : Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 · source: Ember, yearly electricity data· Published Nov 3, 2026
