Solar PV share of renewable capacity growth vs Fossil CO2 emissions

Solar PV share of renewable capacity growth (multi-month) and Fossil CO2 emissions (annual) worldwide. They are published at different intervals, so each is drawn on its own rather than matched period by period.

The series

Over time

Global. Solar PV share of renewable capacity growth is published as multi-month figures and fossil CO2 emissions as annual ones, so they are drawn on separate charts, clipped to 2019–2024, and no period is matched between them. Read each on its own.

Shared periods

Side by side

No period lines up: solar PV share of renewable capacity growth is multi-month and fossil CO2 emissions is annual. A month and a year are not the same measurement window, so no row pairs them.

Provenance

Where these numbers come from

Solar PV share of renewable capacity growth

Share of forecast renewable power capacity growth attributable to solar PV.
