Note: Countries are ordered according to total installed capacity. Data are for glazed water collectors only (excluding unglazed collectors for swimming pool
heating). World additions are gross capacity added; total numbers include allowances for retirements. Data for China, rest of world, and world total are rounded
to nearest 1 GW th
; other data are rounded to the nearest 0.1 GW th
. Rounding is to account for uncertainties and inconsistencies in available data; where totals
do not add up, the difference is due to rounding. By accepted convention, 1 million square metres = 0.7 GW th
. The year 2011 is the most recent one for which
firm global data and most country statistics are available. It is estimated, however, that there were 282 GW th
of solar thermal capacity of all types in operation by
the end of 2012, and 255 GW th
of glazed water collectors in operation worldwide. For details and source information, see Solar Heating and Cooling section of
