Data are for glazed and unglazed water collectors; air collectors add almost 1.7 GWth to the year-end world total. Additions represent gross capacity added; total numbers include allowances for retirements. Country and rest of world data are rounded to nearest 0.1 GWth; world totals are rounded to nearest 1 GWth, with the exception of added unglazed capacity. Where totals do not add up, the difference is due to rounding. Small amounts, on the order of a few MWth, are designated by “~0.” By accepted convention, 1 million square metres = 0.7 GWth. The year 2012 is the most recent one for which firm global data and most country statistics are available. It is estimated, however, that 330 GWth of solar thermal capacity (including 325.9 GWth of water collectors and 3.6 GWth of air collectors) was in operation worldwide by the end of 2013.
