    If “buffer/unknown” is the second highest bar, then shouldn’t we have a rough idea of what that buffer i?

    the increase looks exponential, but they chose to model it with a linear increase. if anything this chart is probably a massive underestimation.

      Solar panels are more popular the closer you are to the equator, so states like Hawaii and Arizona already have a lot of investment in solar. For the colder states, its financially a bad investment due to lack of enough sun throught longer periods of the year.

      In population hotspots for example, in Socal, Solar is skyrocketing, but I wouldnt say they same for places like NYC.

      I dont speak for other countries though, and wonder why some countries that should have it, havent invested enough in it (e.g latin countries, india) which receive a lot of sunlight.

    I am really heartened by how solar continues to punch higher and higher above projections year-after-year.

    Why do they think China solar installs will double next year?
