Um, no one sees any problems with that chart? Every single point except the first one for the current year is theoretical and assume projections of increases per year that are more than total current capacity. That's like taking the US GNP and making a projection that we will undergo 150% growth the next two years, then stabilize into linear growth after that at the same rate.
Saying that things are "blowing up" currently just ain't so. Where is the 2009 to 2010 curve, and how did they get the starting point in 2010 when the year isn't even over yet.
Sorry, but this is clearly an article placed by solar panel salesmen.
if you read through the article, you'll see that solar capacity more than doubled from 2009-2010. it would be nice if it included previous growth, which actually was similar. but this is more about the future based on what is happening now and expected in the future... i'm sure they used the previous years' data though & showing those data in such a graph would be useful as well. however, the site covers that regularly, so I think the regular readers are quite familiar with the info.
We might want to clarify here that you are a professional writer for the site in question and the author of the given post; also you post a similar comment there in response to a similar question. Also, despite having access to the alleged pre-2010 data in question that you say is well known to regular readers on your site you provide no links to demonstrate where this data might be.
By the way, on another topic, you need to check out your site in Safari, there is a fatal javascript loop. Probably a bug in Safari since it doesn't manifest in other browsers but it should still be addressed.
