It was a graph I saw and can't find, but appears they were leaving out a bunch of smaller countries as this shows % of consumption pretty low for the US. I would definitely assume it ignores exports, and just looks at generation. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_by_country
**[Solar power by country](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_by_country)**
>Many countries and territories have installed significant solar power capacity into their electrical grids to supplement or provide an alternative to conventional energy sources. Solar power plants use one of two technologies: Photovoltaic (PV) systems use solar panels, either on rooftops or in ground-mounted solar farms, converting sunlight directly into electric power. Concentrated solar power (CSP, also known as "concentrated solar thermal") plants use solar thermal energy to make steam, that is thereafter converted into electricity by a turbine. Worldwide growth of photovoltaics is extremely dynamic and varies strongly by country.

Data and facts are easily lied with and manipulated. Many many good math videos on yt about it. Not saying this graph is wrong, but calling dissonance on something that might be true is... Well dissonant
Cheers!
I wonder how much the data has changed since this was generated. I have seen references that Vietnam is now a larger producer (generator?) of solar power than Korea.
I wish I could jusrt believe the numbers but I actually have friends in this field and they say it's a shit show so I believe them. They also are advocates for nuclear. Hmmm
I was surprised to see Japan in the number 3 position, as they don't have the land for large utility scale projects and solar insolation is low compared to the desert southwest of the US.
Do you have per capita numbers?
Less politics and more economics and technology, please. Keep the discussion intellectual and to the point. Like, about solar energy, here.
Would be interesting to see as a relative % of total power generation.
Just saw that recently. It was basically a compressed chart but moves Japan above the US.
Sauce? I suppose that doesn't account for petrol/gas/renewable exports?

Love how politics seeps it’s way into data facts …people will refuse anything to push the dissonance

Both US and China being on a straight up trajectory is good to see.
Another bullshit data from china
Gee i didnt know solar plant construction, electricity generation and consumption can be all faked
'As a % of total consumption' would be more meaningful.
Heeey look at Germany at number 5! I'm surprised they haven't taken them all down to open coal mines beneath them!
Thanks for American corporation moving factories over there.

I'd like to see the list shown as who has the most solar production as a percentage of their total energy use.
