* Forecasts were made using a central estimate. According to the source, it is assumed that installation rate will range from 600 to 800 to 1,000MW per year between 2010 and 2012. Installation rate is expected to increase to 1,500MW per year in 2014 and to remain there to 2016. Installations are expected to reach six gigawatts by 2020.
