How this measure is built

Definition
The percentage of total electricity generation produced from solar energy sources.
Measure
One slice of Electricity generation ( form: share, segment: solar ) . Total volume of electric energy generated. Region and period are columns on every record, not slices.
Limitations
Publishers release on different schedules, so the latest period differs by region; compare regions on the same period. 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.
