Summary

Description	English: Exponential growth-curve on a semi-log scale of worldwide installed photovoltaics in gigawatts since 1992. (Figures for cumulative nameplate capacity in watt_DC, watt-peak).
Date	8 November 2014, 16:00 (first version) This W3C-unspecified vector image was created with Inkscape .
Source	Data sources in chronological order (year-end figures): 1992-1995: wikipedia article growth of photovoltaics–collected figures of 16 main markets, including Australia, Canada, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Western European countries, and the United States. 1996-1999: BP-Statistical Review of world energy, 2014 (XLS-spread-sheet). 2000-2013: SPE (former EPIA) Global Market Outlook for Photovoltaics (Report, June 2014, archived). 2014: Snapshot of Global PV 1992-2014 (archive) and IHS estimates/projections for worldwide deployment in 2014 and 2015 (March 2015). 2015 Averaged from several different forecasting groups, companies and organizations. Data listed in article Growth of photovoltaics#Forecast 2016 306.5 GW (SolarPower Europe, 2017, p.7) and 303 GW (Global Status Report 2017, Ren21, p.66, at least) 2017 intallation of 98 GW PV-solar based on 2018 Snapshot of Global Photovoltaic Markets, IEA PVPS (404 GW; added 98 GW) 2018 tentative projection 104 GW added per October 24, 2017 (Sums up to 404 GW + 104 GW = 508 GW). An update on actual 2018-figures should be provided in IEA PVPS Snapshot report 2019, expected to be released Spring 2019.
