Summary

Description

English: Worldwide installed photovoltaic capacity in "watts per capita" by country. Estimated figures for year 2016 (see details in File history below).

▇ none or unknown
▇ <10 watts per inhabitant
▇ 10–100 watts per inhabitant
▇ 100–200 watts per inhabitant
▇ 200–400 watts per inhabitant
▇ >400 watts per inhabitant

Note: Liechtenstein has been reported to have the world's highest per capita installation of 481 watt (source) as of 2014. However, for global considerations, dwarf states such as Lichtenstein are not taken into account).

SVG development

The SVG code is valid.

This world map was created with Inkscape, or with something else.

This world map uses embedded text.

This SVG (Scalable Vector Graphic) appears to have been inadequately vectorized, for example, by auto-tracing, and may require revectorization to meet quality standards.
Automatic tracing of complex images can produce overly-large files, inaccurate outlines, and often miss out smaller details completely. Please consider editing this image by hand in a vector editor to improve it. For further information please see our picture tutorial and SVG help (or check the talk page).
