  • CincoDias (financial newspaper, 30 June 2008)
    In the last year [2007] 435 MW of photovoltaic [capacity] were installed in Spain. This made the country the second market in the world with an 18% share, second only to Germany, according to figures gathered by the ASIF.

    This data point also implies a 408% increase in installed capacity, with a cumulative production [capacity] of 595 MW. The number of instalations rose to 18,248.
