What the source says
Distributed PV total capacity more than doubles, surpassing 500 GW in the main forecast (and 600 GW in the accelerated case), almost half of total solar PV growth and a similar expansion to onshore wind.
Verbatim extraction verified: The figure 600 billion watts is directly attested in the quoted passage (Distributed solar PV takes centre stage).
The figure above was extracted from this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
