Global Photovoltaic Power Potential by Country
We elaborated country factsheet, involving the information on solar resource and PV power potential country statistics, seasonal electricity generation variations, LCOE estimates and cross-correlation with the relevant socio-economic indicators. It is a part of the study "Global Photovoltaic Power Potential by Country", published by The World Bank and accessible at Global Solar Atlas. It provides an aggregated and harmonized view on solar resource and PV power potential from the perspective of countries and regions.
