The Solar Power Boom

Solar power each country can produce at full sun, from 2000 to 2025

This counts the solar panels a country has installed, measured by how much power they give at full sunshine. One gigawatt is a billion watts.
In 2000 almost nobody had big solar farms. As panels became much cheaper, countries started to build them very fast.
Panels only work when the Sun shines, so the power they really make over a year is smaller than this full-sun number.
