What the source says
In terms of technologies, solar PV alone is forecast to account for a massive 80% of the growth in global renewable capacity between now and 2030 – the result of the construction of new large solar power plants as well as an increase in rooftop solar installations by companies and households.
Checked: the figure 80% is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
