What the source says
Over the past five years, annual solar capacity additions quadrupled to 425 GW, but annual manufacturing capacity is set for a sixfold increase to more than 1 100 GW, a level that – if deployed in full – would be very close to the amounts needed in the NZE Scenario.
Checked: the figure 425 GWis stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
