Solar seems to be hitting a lot of inflection points recently.

Colombia had 0.27GW total installed capacity as of the start of 2024.

In that year rooftop solar installed .215GW and utility scale installed 1.41GW

So just rooftop nearly doubled all solar installed ever in one year and utility more than 5x'd it

Well if you have just one solar panel you can double all installed solar in a matter of minutes and 5x it in matter of an hour.
