Usage

[edit]

Use this infobox for all pages with the title format "Solar power in X country" (for example, Solar power in India) with information on solar power in a particular country. All of the information used is found or can be calculated from data in Solar power by country.

For all types of solar power and solar power plants, please use {{Photovoltaics}}.

This template provides key data on solar power in a given country.

Parameter Definition and Guidance
{{{country}}} The country in question. It must be a country for which a "Solar power in" page exists.
{{{image}}} Image relevant to solar power in the country in question such as a map of photovoltaic potential in the country or images of solar panels in the country. The image must already be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons.
{{{caption}}} Brief description of the inserted image.
{{{capacity}}} Ideally, this value is for front-of-meter / utility-scale generation and distributed solar, but it can be exclusively the former.
{{{most_recent_year}}} The year for which the capacity data applies.
{{{generation}}} Total solar generation (in terawatt-hours). Ideally, this value is for front-of-meter / utility-scale generation and distributed solar, but it can be exclusively the former.
{{{most_recent_year_generation}}} The year for which the generation data applies.
{{{capacity_capita}}} Total installed capacity (in watts) per capita. Ideally, this value is for front-of-meter / utility-scale generation and distributed solar, but it can be exclusively the former.

Calculated as (capacity in watts) ÷ (population). The total installed nameplate capacity and the population should ideally be from the same year.

Please be mindful of units, especially orders of magnitude:

1 GW = 1,000 MW = 1,000,000 MW = 1,000,000,000 W

{{{most_recent_year_capita}}} The year for which the per capita data applies.
{{{share}}} Percentage of the total power grid energy in that country that is generated by solar.
{{{most_recent_year_share}}} The year for which the share data applies.
{{{rank}}} Ordinal rank of the capacity of that country compared to all countries.
{{{most_recent_year_rank}}} The year for which the rank applies.
