What the source says
Solar PV’s global electricity output is forecast to increase by around 600 TWh in 2026, matching the record annual growth achieved in 2025, with similarly robust expansion expected in 2027.
Checked: the figure 600 terawatt-hoursis stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
