The data is published under CC BY 4.0, commercial use included. Credit StatOrigin and the original publisher (IEA); the chart files already carry that line.
- The source documents: the publisher's terms
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
- Total solar PV manufacturing capacity expected to be reached by a target date.
- Measure
- One slice of Manufacturing capacity ( form: level, segment: solar pv ) . Maximum annual volume of equipment or goods that manufacturing facilities can produce. 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.
