How this measure is built

Definition
Absolute year-over-year increase in solar PV electricity output.
Measure
One slice of Electricity generation ( form: growth, segment: solar pv ) . Total volume of electric energy generated. 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.
