  2. # highlights countries which have been the subject of a more intense research endeavour comparatively to their lower installed PV capacity
  3. * highlights countries which have been the subject of a less intense research endeavour (no observations found in this map) comparatively to their higher installed PV capacity
  4. Only the top 15 most studied countries found in this map are presented; similarly, only the top 15 countries with the largest installed PV capacity are presented. Installed PV capacity are derived from the IRENA (International Renewable Energy Agency) [4]
