Figures are facts read from the publishers' own documents. The documents themselves, their text and design, stay under each publisher's terms; follow the source links for those.
How this measure is built
- Definition
- Forecast increase in distributed solar PV capacity under the main-case scenario.
- Measure
- One slice of Electricity capacity ( counting rule: main case, form: growth, segment: distributed solar pv ) . Maximum electrical output capacity of power installations. Region and period are columns on every record, not slices.
- Limitations
- 1 figure is a projection, drawn dashed and labelled in the table. Values are shown as published; StatOrigin does not revise, fill gaps or convert currencies.
- Verification
- Each value, unit, period and place was checked against its source evidence before publication. See the methodology and the corrections process.

Frequently asked questions
What is the latest distributed solar PV capacity increase, main case?
Global: 320 billion watts in 2019–2024.
Where does this data come from?
From 1 document published by IEA. Every figure on this page links to its record, which preserves the original source evidence.
How often is it updated?
Irregularly: the publishers behind this measure do not release it on a fixed schedule. A new figure appears here once it is published and verified.
Can I use this data?
Yes. StatOrigin publishes it under CC BY 4.0: you may copy, chart and republish it, including commercially, with attribution to StatOrigin and to the original publisher.
