Show info on the figures

Shown is last year's electricity production from photovoltaic systems in Switzerland and the proportion of electricity consumption covered by them.

To calculate the annual solar power production, the total installed capacity in kW is multiplied by the specific yield (in kWh/kW). The specific yield is determined based on a representative sample of plants from the Pronovo AG database, using actual production figures. Annual solar power production has steadily and significantly increased since 2010.
The following simplifying assumptions were made to estimate the number of households: 78% of people live in apartment buildings with an average household size of 2.18 people. A typical two-person household in an apartment building consumes an average of 2190 KWh/year.
